Hello, ladies and gentlemen!
Welcome to your first day of Senior Year! This is such an exciting time in your lives, and I am proud to be a part of it! I, too, am excited to start off the year, and to help you on your journey towards college and a career. This year, we will read some of the most famous texts of all time as well as prepare you for the AP Test. Another major focus of this year is to ensure that you are prepared to write at the college level. We will discuss the difference between college and high school writing as well as consistently writing throughout the course.
Please, take some time to get acquainted with this website. The course objectives sheet (which was handed out in class) will always appear in the top right. You can download aMicrosoft 2003 version anytime to check policies and expectations throughout the year. Please, also take a look at the resources page. It includes some of my favorite sites to help you throughout the year.
This blog will serve multiple purposes. I will update this everyday by the end of the school day. Through this blog:
