You elitists spurned the decadent knowledge of vocabulary words with much disdain, apparently

Humanitarians,

We are not super pleased with your total lack of vocab skillz. Come on y'all. We will work on it. Although we think you should practice at least two of the words you didn't know until today.

Today. We took a 25 question quiz-lette over Tartuffe. If you missed it, you need to make it up ASAP so that you can have a grade for this six weeks. Then we discussed Louis XIV's reaction to the play, which was mixed.
King Louis XIV is having none of your shade.
Oh Louis, how could we.
TOMORROW we are back to the Baroque. I'm so excited. I literally squealed. Bernini, Caravaggio, my heart. 

Also, tomorrow, you will have your last CE of the six weeks. Two questions over the President of China. I would meme him, but I value my life much more than that. You also need to turn in your Tartuffe mini-project. That plus your quiz-lette from today = a major grade. 

Friday, humanities experiences are due. 

Now, here are a bunch of articles that I think are funny/interesting that have been denied as current events because Stanton hates me or something:
I think the Pope is adorable, which is probably an inappropriate adjective for the head of one of the biggest religions in the world, but eh. He is visiting this week (not Texas, just the US), so a lot of the news is about him. 

Reminder:
Did we like the this day in history? Shall we continue?
  • 1939: Sigmund Freud died in London. :( Oedipus jokes anyone?
  • 1846: German astronomer Johann Gottfried Galle discovered the planet Neptune
  • 1973: Former Argentine president Juan Peron returned to power. He is not quite as famous as his wife, Eva otherwise known as Madonna.


Finally, if all of this doesn't get you through this lovely Wednesday, consider peanutizing yourself. It's funny, look I did it to all the humanities teachers:


























Happy Yom Kippur for those of you celebrating today!

See everyone tomorrow.

Also, one more, Happy Wednesday:
