Welcome to my class!

A class web site can be a creative way of getting students excited about a subject, keeping them up to date on assignments, and providing them with valuable online resources. Because a class site should be engaging, I'll present information that makes the subject interesting and fun, such as brain teasers or polls about current events. Of course, I'll want to include plenty of links so you can explore a wealth of ideas on the web.

Here are examples of the content I will include.

Here I might mention a story in the news that pertains to my subject and solicit opinions from the class, or I will ask a question about material we covered in class.
 
Freshmen:
Last week we read Act 2 of Romeo and Juliet. If you could be any of the characters in this story, which would you be and why?
 
 
Juniors:
How are you able to relate to the theme for your novel projects?

I'll post the answers on the "Class Bulletin Board" page.
