The bait hides the hook
It is the hook that catches the fish, but it is the bait that tempts it to take the hook into its mouth. The moral is: beware of an attractive offer, for there is very likely to be a catch in it.

English Proverb of the Day
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy
We should not always be working. Unless we can enjoy some form of recreation, we become stale and our work suffers in consequence.

European Trip Summer 2015!!!
Mr. Lopez in room 75 is sponsoring a European tour this summer. I am planning to join him and would like to extend the invitation to my students.
There will be a parent meeting tomorrow night, Thursday, in room 75 at 5:30. Those that bring their parents will receive extra credit toward our next test. I will have a sign in sheet.
We will discuss more about this on Friday.
I'm excited!!!

Independent Reading
Access our class folder and read (in Unit 1 Folder.):
Unit 1 - Introduction
Unit 1 - Epic
English present and future
You will be tested on the materials from all three documents next week. We will be covering these documents, but it is important that you read them independently (or in groups) so that you can get a double dose of the material.
We will begin our lesson in Anglo Saxon Literature accompanied with Beowulf.

English Proverb of the Day
A bad workman always blames his tools.
Good workmanship depends no more on the quality of the tools than it does on the way in which they are used, so to blame the tools for bad workmanship is to attempt to excuse one's own lack of skill. For example: 'I lost he match because my racket needed re-stringing.' "My essay wasn't very good because I had to use someone else's pen.' 'How did you expect me to catch fish with this rod?' To all these the response could be: 'A bad workman always blames his tools.'

English Proverb of the Day
As you make your bed, so you must lie in it
Should you make your bed badly, you will probably have an uncomfortable night, for which you will have only yourself to blame. In much the same way, all of us are responsible for the consequences of our actions, so we must put up with them.
As you sow, so shall you reap.
