Welcome to our class blog, seniors!! Please visit here to check out some reminders (which will be up top, just below these notes) and then any Posts that you may be required to read, follow, use for reflection, pondering, writing, screaming, laughing, etc...these Posts will be further down. The most current ones will be first - always check the dates. There may be times where I may ask you to visit an older Post.

Remember to always converse with the author - use post-its and take notes -annotate- be active readers! Happy reading and writing.


I hope to have a wonderful last year of high school with you! Fight off that horrid senioritis!

Happy Spring! March Madness begins...

1. Continue to actively read the memoir that you chose, and complete the open-ended/reflection questions (packet). Keep in mind the characteristics of a memoir. I hope that you are enjoying your choice! Please bring your memoir book with you to class. Have about 3/4 done for 3/24...try!

2. Over the next few days, we will be presenting the "Impact of the Written Word" PowerPts/Prezis that you created. Nice job! Enjoy.

3. See below for the Memoir packet to work on and bring with you over the next week or so...just in case you misplace it.

Happy Summer!






Have a great summer, and good luck getting ready for college. Remember: cold water wash for those colored garments...:) please stay in touch. I will miss you all very much.

Take a moment to You Tube a song or two from any Bruce Springsteen and the E Streeters concert over the forty plus years that they have been rockin' together - please be sure to really get a sense of how amazing and powerful the Big Man was - Mr. Clarence Clemons...he really is irreplaceable.

Check this one out - The Big Man is too cool in his red suit and also a very sharp white one! Oh, those eighties - fun times.
