As you already know, we are SHUT DOWN!  For most of my classes, this means the following:

• Science Fiction and English 3: Since your texts are at school, we are in neutral and we’re idling.  Check back in at the end of March for more details.
• Contemporary Lit: Although most of you have your books, you may also chill (for now)
• AP Lit:  You are not so lucky.  Not because I’m going to assign you work to do (which I am, sort of), but because right now I don’t know what is going to happen with the College Board and the AP Lit test on May 6th.  Check the drop-down menu above for your class for an extra credit assignment you could do for the next two weeks.  I can’t make you do it, but you are AP students for goodness sake!

I want to make sure that you know that I truly hope you are all safe and healthy, as well as your family and friends.  We will survive.  We are Americans!

Aloha!

Mr. Hart
