Thanks for visiting.  On this site you will find the information you need for the classes that I teach.  So, if you didn't fully understand what the assignment was, this is a great resource to use.  You simply click on the class you are interested in the menu bar and it will direct you to your class page.  On this page you will find the a brief discription of the unit that is being taught, the assignment that you are looking for, and hopefully in the future a podcast of the lesson that day.  I have also included on this site a blog page if you are interested in conversing about any of the subjects we are discussing in class.  Enjoy the site and remember that reading and writing are part of our world--repeat after me, "I LOVE ENGLISH!"
