it's not debatable

Tonight is the nineteenth Democratic debate (the second with just the two Big Guns) and, coming one night after the lunar eclipse, that makes the second consecutive evening in which we mere mortals can turn to the cosmos and marvel at the wonder of it all.

Maybe that's a bit heavy-handed for a political debate. OTOH, have you heard the rhetoric lately? I'm pretty sure that Obama is the Second Coming. Or at the very least a tremendously gifted interstellar traveler.

MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT:

If you desire your writing to be considered for Young Idea, tomorrow (Friday) is the LAST DAY that you may submit it to Mrs. Forst or Mrs. D Clark. Forms are in my room, but you'll have to get it to them yourself. If you have done major revisions of previously submitted work, GET IT IN NOW!!!

E3H: We are in full-blown portfolio wing-ding blow-out mode. Countdown reads 8 days. Do you know where your portfolio is?

E2H: DOAS posts tonight concern the last scene. While we won't be talking about it in class tomorrow (I won't be there), you will have the chance to discuss things online and I will post more there (or here) about what is revealed in the confrontations of those final moments. Tomorrow you'll be doing workshop and starting on your scene work. There will be more on that later... If I can get it done I'll post it her tonight; otherwise you'll get it in class tomorrow.

Drama: We've lost Ian. :-( He will be missed, but he had to drop the class due to health concerns. So we will need to reshuffle today's I Spy assignment a bit. Still, you are working on monologues and the personal inventory exercises in Ch 3. Also, it's Major Catch-Up time for assignments so that you are not left with eligibility issues or parental awkwardness...

Don't forget: Jodi Picoult B&B 3/11 with a field trip to hear her at Gorton on 3/12! Sign up in the library!

random thought of the day: “An optimist will tell you the glass is half-full; the pessimist, half-empty; and the engineer will tell you the glass is twice the size it needs to be”
