While I cannot invite you into the 8th grade classrooms, you know how much I value your opinions and experience in the class. What would you like to advise (or warn!) your 8th grade peers? Any tips for handling summer reading? How can they learn from your successes and mistakes?
Please remain appropriate! (Oh...and Nick, please try not to insult me too much, ok? :-) )

Romeo: Tragic Hero or "Fortune's Fool"
As promised, here is a place to play with the topic of the final essay. Shakespearean scholars still debate if Romeo is a pawn of fortune or a victim of his own tragic flaws (just pick one of the many!)
So, which is it? Don't forget to provide support. Your ideas may change as we proceed further in the play.

The Jurassic Blogosaurus
The Romantic elements of Jekyll and Hyde and Jurassic Park.
I realize that everyone is stressing about the thematic comparison between Jekyll and Hyde and Jurassic Park. Here is a forum for you to collaborate with one another and to ask questions / brainstorm/ formulate arguments and debates as you prepare to write the essay. Have fun, scholars! I'm really looking forward to reading these :-)
