Welcome back! I hope you all had a restful break and are ready to get back into the swing of school. For the next month, we will be completing a unit on Antigone. Most of the reading will be done in class, which should enable you to have free time at home to work on vocabulary and memorizing your presentations. This unit is your last chance for points so make sure you are putting in enough effort to earn the grade you want! Also, we are going to start transitioning into some of the policies Mr. Cyrus has in place to make a smooth transition at the semester break. Come to class prepared everyday and this should not be an issue.
