Week 15: Dec. 1-4

Mon. No school. Mr. Brandt dominates Mr. Ruud and Mr. Harrison on the golf course, further enhancing his reputation as an awesome force in the golf universe.

Tues. Back to reality! Students read and discuss "The Boarding House" from Dubliners. As usual, students are suspicious of Mr. Brandt's seemy interpretations of the story.

Wed. Discussion of "The Boarding House" concluded, followed by discussion of "A Little Cloud."

Thurs. Class finishes discussing "A Little Cloud".

Fri. Oral commentaries submitted by 4th period. Graded OC's returned to 3rd period, and discussed. One month to go before the IB Oral Comms! Also, class began reading and discussing the "charms" of one Mr. Farrington, the central character in Joyce's short story "Counterparts." Pierce should be commended for an impressive performance as the bullying boss Mr. Alleyne.
