Some of you have been wanting to do the bonus assignment (performing lines)
For Hamlet lines, I will post them below. For Othello, I have many handouts in my class, feel to grab one tomorrow. Please sign up in the comments box below so as to not have any repeats.
Also, just check in with me that the lines posted are, in fact, the right ones, if you think they are a little off. When I put them together I may have used a different published version than the one you currently have.
I have assigned no homework over the break but there are a few things to keep in mind.
>Othello: expect to have a quiz on Wednesday for Act 4.

Quiz Friday for part 2 of Nineteen Eighty Four
If you ain't prepared don't even show up at my door.
Not trying to scare you or freak you out,
but showing up unprepared is not what English 12's about.
If you're 'over' Big Brother and hating this novel,
I can't make you like it by now and won't grovel.
It's almost all over; the final scene's left to play,
So hang in tight: soon 'Eighty Four will go away.
But until then you've got a journal to get done.

Be sure to complete it before the setting of the sun. 

Journal topic #5
Compose 3 sentences that might constitute a thoughtcrime in our school, community, or country. Suggest certain situations in the world today where committing a thoughtcrime (speaking the truth) has serious consequences.

Read "The Ones who Walk away from Omelas" for Monday. There are no questions, but it is a long story so break it up into manageable chunks for you. You can find this story in the handout at the beginning of the year or, very likely, online.

The Beauty of a Smile

Today and Yesterday, I shared a devotion on 'The Smile'.
I remembered watching this video a while back where a student conducted an experiment in her school.
I watched it with the sound off (it was one of those videos on my Facebook feed) I was struck by how beautiful everyone was when they smiled; their smile totally changed their faces for the better. If you have the time, you can watch the video here. I suggest you do as I did and watch it on mute. It made all the difference to me...and it would seem that so do kind gestures to lots of people.

Christian Studies
Today you were briefly introduced to Elisabeth Elliot. One of the things Elisabeth did with her life was write a bi-monthly newsletter for almost 20 years.
You are to read her first ever newsletter tonight. Please just read the first article about contexts and also read the second last newsletter. The first article in that one is about restlessness and worry.

http://www.elisabethelliot.org/newsletters2/nov.dec.1982.pdf

Tonight you are to write a newsletter of 500 words max on a topic of your choosing. It should be something that can help, edify, teach, or bless your peers. Be sure to use at least one quote (from the Bible and other famous writers). You can use an anecdotal story like contexts does, if you wish. It does not need to be in newsletter format. Submit tomorrow.
