Welcome to Honors English! I'm so excited to be your teacher this year. Throughout both semesters, I will post weekly assignments on this blog and you will need to read the assignments and respond to them on your own personal English blog.
The goals for your English blog include:
1. Improve your writing through consistent practice.
2. Develop your writing style and voice by sharing your own personal experiences or opinions and ideas about what we read and discuss in class.
For your first blog post, introduce yourself to your readers. While your main audience will be me (your teacher) other classmates or other literature enthusiasts may be reading your blog periodically. What should your readers know about you? What makes you unique? What do you like to do in your free time? The majority of your blog posts will be responses to the reading we do in class. What type of a reader are you? What types of books do you enjoy? When and where do you like to read? Write at least two paragraphs as an introduction to you, your blog, and yourself as a reader.
In addition, write one more paragraph about a specific experience that you had this week - your first week of high school. Tell what happened and how you reacted to this experience.
I hope you enjoy keeping your blog for English. I know I will enjoy reading your posts. Please see me in class or email me if you have any trouble with your personal blog.
