ATTENTION: Tomorrow, March 22, is the LAST DAY to register to take the AP test. See Ms. McGill if you still need to register for it.
Today we talked a bit about George VI and listened to part of his speech at the beginning of WWII. It was almost painful to hear him fight his stutter. If you'd like to see the story of how he mastered it, check out the Colin Firth movie The King's Speech. Then we returned to our discussion of Henry VIII and compared/contrasted the two leaders. From there we broke into groups to discuss three of Elizabeth I's speeches. For homework please do a close read of the two poems in the packet, sources F and G. (Hour 1, you're a little behind, so the poems are not homework for you. I'll try to get you caught up tomorrow.)
Next week you'll be taking your first full practice AP test, and you'll be writing the synthesis essay as homework.
