Welcome Back Everyone!
My blog is up and running and my plan is to blog everyday after school for 10 minutes. I hope this meets with your timetable and you can check the blog anytime after 4:00pm. It feels different at KCI this year and I know we are going to be successful as a team. Remember: if you find a mechanical error in this blog and are the first one to let me know (post a comment or tell me in class) I will give you 1 percentage mark. Keep sharp.

World Literature is an interesting class and I know you will enjoy most of the literature as it will make you think. Two questions we ask: What is the issue in this literature? How does this issue affect or connect to me? 1st half of class is in the computer lab to research flowers and weeds. Second half is in the classroom, drafting the assignment. Final copy will be due complete with graphic on Day 2.
