History finishes France on Monday with the last Capetian kings, then opens England on Tuesday: Henry II, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Richard the Lionheart, and King John. Literature takes Quiz 2 on Cantos XIV to XXIII on Monday, after the Mass pause. Theology stays with the Scriptures: Tuesday begins a review of the whole Gospel of Matthew, and the Orthodoxy chapters are off the reading list. New schedule for Thursday and Friday: Thursday, Literature meets first period, at 7:20. Friday, October 2, is a half day: Theology meets in two short pieces around Mass (8:02 and 9:40); History and Literature share one period, at 10:43; there is no Choir. Choir rehearses Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Homework for every class is below, with details on each class page.
