    Hey, Artie!
    First, don’t you love Hark? That guy is awesome! Do you have a poem yet for Drama? If you need one, I’ve chosen twenty! I basically went through my shelves and picked the best ones, but I can only do one. I chose a Walt Whitman poem, but I’m going to ask if I can do a Jay Z rap as a poem. Rap is basically poetry. Maybe Hark’ll even let me play the real song in the background. Let me know if you want to look through what I have. Some people are doing their performances in partners. Be cool if we did something together, hey? Like our movie last year! Let me know!
    Cheers!

    Assignment: Personal Reading Projects
    Although we will be doing a novel study this year in class, as well as studying one of Shakespeare’s tragedies (here’s a hint for you: Double, double, toil and trouble …), there will also be some individual reading and responses. Over the course of the year, you are expected to read and review at least one of the novels on the approved reading list, one biography or autobiography and one non-fiction book. Of course, you’re welcome to read and respond to more books if you wish! If there is a specific book that you wish to review that is not on the list, please speak to me. You must log your responses through detailed book reviews. I expect more than a synopsis! Chart your progress and reflections as you read.
    There is no specific due date, but I suggest you plan your year accordingly, so that you aren’t handing them all in at the end of June. Book reviews submitted after June 3 will be marked as late.

    Hi Arthur!
    Thanks SO much for running the bake-sale booth! Wasn’t the carnival super fun?? It was HILARIOUS to see Catie in the dunk tank! She was so mouthy, I’m not surprised that she got dunked so often LOL! I’m going to write an article for the
Marathon
about how it brought together the school in such a positive way!
    Anyway, I just wanted to talk to you about something. Someone saw you eat a Rice Krispie square while you were sitting there, but they didn’t see you pay for it! I’m sure it’s just a mix-up, but I promised that I would follow up!
    Kennedy :)

    Dear Kennedy,
    I’m glad that the carnival went pretty well. I didn’t really get a chance to see any of it, since I was the only person working my booth the whole time. And your “secret source” is right. I did eat the last Rice Krispie square without paying for it. I never got a chance to eat dinner, and it was the last one and the carnival had already closed, so I didn’t think it was a big deal. I was so hungry! I didn’t know that you had spies watching! You must know EVERYTHING that happens in the school hahaha!
    Did you want me to pay for the Rice Krispie square? Do you want help writing your article?
    Yours truly,
    Arthur Bean
