Welcome to the 2013/2014 School Year!

Welcome to ELA 20! The start of a new year is always exciting as we begin new classes with both new and familiar faces. It is also a time to set goals that will help to ensure your success in your new classes. I hope that you take the opportunity to reflect on what you will do in order to make this your very best school year!

You will find a course outline located to the right under the "Pages" heading. This outline will give you a good idea about what we will be reading, discussing, etc throughout the semester. ELA 20 involves a number of readings and writing assignments. It is important for students to stay on top of the readings and to do the required homework in order to be successful in this class. I plan to use Remind101 as a tool to help remind students about important homework, tests and assignment deadlines. I hope you choose to sign up for Remind101 as it has proven to be an easy way to communicate with students and parents about what is happening in class. This blog is a third method that you may use in order to stay on top of these reminders as I have a Remind101 widget to the right of the screen.

Here's to a great school year!
