English 8 students worked on their Halloween story, “The Tell-Tale Heart.”

We made it through the first four paragraphs: we’re working on annotations and a summary, so it takes a bit of time to go through each paragraph.

We’ll continue working on this for the next couple of days.

English I students finished up “Sonnet 29.”

We determined the long and complicated poem simplified down to a very simple and lovely statement:

“When I compare myself to others and start to hate myself, I think of you, and then I wouldn’t change places even with a king.”
