Welcome to your last first day of high school. (In May we'll have your first last day of high school, which is considerably more dramatic, but this one is pretty important, too.)
This website is your friend, and you are responsible for checking it often. On the home page (right here), you'll find updates, information about class, fun side-conversations, and the occasional assignment. On the calendar page, you'll find due dates. On the documents page, you'll find every class assignment that I have in electronic format. You can also get my powerpoints here, but not the lecture notes--that's what class is for. (Also, my lecture notes are cryptic. Class is not. I hope.)
We'll run this as much like a college course as possible, which means lots of talking about books and workshopping our writing. Soak up the awesome.
As a side note, if you find interesting articles or...well...things, really, that relate to what we do in class, please feel free to bring them in.
Aaaaand one more side-note (This is how we operate here): If you ever want to comment on these posts--you know, appropriately--go right ahead! I check the site fairly often, too.
Peace,
Mrs. Swan
