Today in class, students worked in groups to do some basic research over the French Revolution as a way of preparing for reading Count of Monte Cristo.

I assigned the first reading guide (due Tuesday) – electronic copies of all reading guides are available under the Count of Monte Cristo tab.

For homework for tonight and tomorrow night, students are to write an essay about revenge. Here is that prompt: Revenge Essay Prompt The essay is due on Friday.

Finally, remember that I am showing the film Marie Antoinette after school on Friday (from 3:30 to 5:30) if you would like to come – it’s worth 10 points of extra credit on your vocab quiz from this week!
