WELCOME STUDENTS

In the next couple weeks, we will be reading a literary novel outside of class. I will be posting blog topics here, which will be open for discussions. You will be given homework assignments which will be posted here. The work submitted here should be edited, refined, and of literary value. You may email me if you have any questions.

INDEPENDENT READING ASSIGNMENT FOR WINTER BREAK

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley

I will be posting three assignments to my blog.  You will be expected to respond to the topic on your own blog, and post comments to two other student's blogs according to the student calendar.

This project will also help prepare you for your timed-writing assignment upon your return from Winter Break.
