OK. Back to what I laughingly refer to as "normal." heck, we even had birthdays today. (And more tomorrow!) So I guess the after-shocks of Snowzilla '11 have officially calmed down...although I understand that at least one numbskull weatherman has been referring to this week's weather as "wind-chill-pocalypse."
Oy.
I mean it's one thing for a high school English teacher to make silly references once in a while to a completely absurd amalgam of frozen precipitation and a Japanese claymation ocean-dwelling dinosaur, but something else altogether for a meteorologist to stir up random fears by tacking the bizarre and invented suffix "pocalypse" to everything like a poltical reporter using "Gate" or a health reporter using "oholic," neither of which makes a bit of sense outside of its original context either. It's as if the job of a reporter has been redefined to be, instead of reporting the news, creating it by causing as much panic and paranoia as humanly possible.
End of rant.
And now a word from your teacher about classes.
E3H: Today was Writing Workshop (unless you were period 1, in which case today's writing workshop was yesterday). No matter which section you are in, though, tomorrow's Adventures With Stephen will still be tomorrow. Also, check out the NEW WORDS on wikicab! And don't forget: six Portrait posts by tomorrow. And annotations (for those who need them graded) are also due. (Whew! Big day!)
E2CP: Today we watched Act One. We'll discuss it some more tomorrow, so prepare. Here's the thing: if we try to have a discussion and I'm the only one ready for it, Teacher is not going to be happy... Also tomorrow, we will have a quiz on Act Two. BTW: Check out the NEW WORDS on wikicab!
Drama: We watched the remaining monologues (except for Jori and Topher because they were absent). Tomorrow we will see theirs and we will all "bring along" our parents to the class. Don't forget your Observation Game.
And now, a story from a very unusual music group:
