Finally spring.  At least when you are old and wise, you will be able to say with authority: "Oh, yes, I was there you know back in the winter of '15."

And you will be able to say you read Moby Dick in 9th grade...I hope--because I have put a lot of trust in you to keep up with the readings. I am sure that Charlie was not alone yesterday powering through several days of reading over a couple of hours on a beautiful and sunny day.

We are, however, hitting the home stretch.

Moby Dick Readings:
  1. Class I: 83-86: Listen to the audio
  2. Class II: 87-88 Listen to the audio
  3. Class III: 89-91 Listen to the audio
  4. Class IV: 92- 96 Listen to the audio!
  5. Weekend: 97-100 Listen to the audio!

So, by Tuesday we will have read ONE HUNDRED chapters of Moby Dick


Other Work: Senior Video
  1. Fenn Video: Working in teams of two or three, create a three minute (no longer) black and white video short that includes video interview footage and some artistic shots of Fenn--and you at Fenn. 
  2. It should be filmed in an interview style in the studio. It should include:
  • Who you are and when (and why) you came to Fenn--and where you are heading next year.
  • Some of the highs and low points of your time here.
  • Teachers and times you'd like to remember.
  • A couple of funny moments
  • Stuff that you like best about Fenn--and maybe something that should, in your mind,  change.
  • Some reflections about what you are taking away from you time at Fenn.
