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.

12A English - Welcome!

Hello there, sensational seniors! Welcome to our new class blog. Please feel free to visit at any time for updates and information on the latest Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band tour. :) I hope you are as excited as I about our new senior English course! We will experience a variety of readings and will work through each mode of expository writing. Please do not stress about the college essay! We will spend time with it. Let's read and write - let's have insightful conversation with the authors, and let's have fun. Remember what Bruce said a very long time ago: Baby, we were born to run!
