Welcome Message
Hello there!
As my very first post on this blog for the 2011-2012 year, I want to welcome you, my students, to what I'm sure will be a wonderful academic year. I encourage you to listen, learn, and experience the amazing world of literature. However, English isn't just about reading books and writing essays, but taking what we learn in literature and applying it to our lives.
You are about to embark on an adventure - fasten your seat belts and enjoy the ride! I should add one more thing, which is in order to enjoy the ride, you must follow directions and that means pay attention in class, do the assigned work - whether classwork, homework, or group work - it all counts, and that includes studying for quizzes and tests, so do your best on everything and if you feel you are having a tough time understanding something, make sure you see me for extra help or clarification because you don't want to be left behind.
Good luck!
