Reading Blog (English 11)
English 11 students will be exposed to a vast amount of literature this year during their first literature course, American Lit. Therefore, each student will be creating their own reading blog spot for educational use. Blogs will be updated periodically throughout the year and will consist of (but are not limited to) reflections on the literature, answers to assigned questions, connections between past and present writings, and creative writings based on a literary text. Follow the blog of your friend or child by downloading the Class List of Blog URLs. Enjoy!
