Welcome to English 4 Honors, where we will be challenging conventions all year long. This blog will allow you to continue discussions outside of the classroom as well as spark new ones.
I will ask you to post to the blog for certain nightly assignments--this will always be indicated on the assignment sheet. However, I also expect you to submit at least 2 posts and 2 comments for each major text. You will receive a blogging grade at the end of each unit, which will go into my gradebook.
Feel free to post ideas, questions, relevant videos and songs, or anything else you think will give us a deeper understanding of/appreciation for what we are reading.
You may write informally in these posts; above all, I want to hear your voice come through. That said, please make sure you capitalize and punctuate properly--this is a pet peeve of mine.
So, please, take ownership of this blog and use it as a tool to shape you into a better reader, thinker, and writer.
I really hate blogs. They distract me from learning.
