“Read, read, read. Read everything –
trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter
who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You’ll absorb it. Then
write. If it’s good, you’ll find out. If it’s not, throw it out of the window.”
– William Faulkner
Welcome to my blog. This is my first stab at the blogging world, so bear with me as I flail about in the shallow end of the blogging pool. My hope is that this page will not only serve as resource for my students, but also as a place for me to examine my own practice as an English teacher. Along the way, I may post a few rants as well as joyful announcements, but my main goal is for this site to serve as a gathering place for my English students and their thoughtful explorations into literature.
At the top of the page, you will see tabs for each of my classes as well as for the Writing Center. Click on these tabs and check them consistently, as I will post different resources as well as my own thoughts on what we are doing in class as often as I can.
You can also use this site as an example to set up your own blog for our class. As you build your blog, please share with me your blog's address so that I can collect them and post them on your class page.
I look forward to exploring the great wide world of literature and writing with you this year!
