Special Note to Students for Caesar Reading Assignment

Attention Grade Ten Students:

It was a very productive week, and I appreciate your hard work and dedication to this course. I am adjusting your homework reading assignment for Julius Caesar that is due on Monday. You do NOT need to read Act I of the play since we will cover that in class on Monday. Additionally, you may answer the reading check questions in class. Please check the blog on Sunday evening for the specific pages required for Monday. Thank you again for a very productive first week and your hard work and dedication to English Honors 10B.
