November 10

JOURNAL TOPIC:
We're taking the next two days off in honor of Veteran's Day, which was originally intended to celebrate peace- specifically, the end of World War I. (for more on the history of the holiday go to http://www1.va.gov/opa/vetsday/vetdayhistory.asp) Since the word veteran means "one with experience," describe how you intend to honor someone with military or other experience who has made your life peaceful.

AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. Caesar: ACT II

HW:
1. Caesar: ACT III (*reading quiz Mon. 11/15); as you read, ask yourself: Why does Shakespeare kill Caesar in ACT III instead of waiting until the end?
2. Memorize Marc Antony's speech on p.872-3 ("Friends, Romans, countrymen...")
