Uh, Finals

Well, Mother Nature, as called by our buddies Edmund, Lear, and a few other sighted and sightless characters from our play, has taken power over our ending Lear discussions and final reviews, pushing these quasi-necessary components to the wayside. While this may result in an expletive or two or three or four escaping from your lips, here is the revised plot and plan for the upcoming days and the transfer to second semester. Overall, I think all of you will be just fine, especially after our over-analysis of poetry elements during King Lear.

• If you sent me a proposal in the last couple of days, I will be perusing those tomorrow during our second snow day.
• Whether you sent a proposal or not, be aware that the psychoanalysis essay is still due by 11:30 a.m. on Friday. You are welcome to print out the essay Thursday or Friday after school. You are also welcome to work on your essay on Friday after school by the given deadline.
• The final will remain the same: a writing prompt of 2 poems and the poetry test. It will most likely take the full 90 minutes for the majority of you. 
• Sixth hour will be working on a review prompt and the poetry review on Wednesday. 
• Second hour, since we have lost that Tuesday class, I will be available after school on Wednesday and before school on Thursday (half hour max. on each of these), if you would like to go over the poetry packet answers prior to the exam and chat about the dual poem writing prompt. If you have a study hall, you may also come into sixth hour on Wednesday to be part of their review. 
• Second semester plans with the Lear journal will remain the same. I was planning to give you The Cherry Orchard over break as well, but that will wait until next semester. 
• If anything else comes up, I will update or send a group e-mail directly to you.
