Fantastic Fifty

At Westlake, the English teachers are really trying to encourage recreational reading. (We are especially championing the idea that there's no need to do it for a grade; it's just a great habit to start!) To help with this, a facebook page has been started where people can share books that they've read and hear the latest news, etc.

Here is the link: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Westlake-Highs-Fantastic-Fifty-Reading-Challenge/142479125812681

Also, in my classes, we have been encouraging students to post pictures of the coolest or weirdest places where you have sat down and read books. Feel free to post pictures or get them to me and I will post them.

Viva la reading!!!

2011-2012 School Year

Welcome to a new school year. Though I am not the most technologically advanced of people, I do have this blog. Here, I try to update you on what's been going on in class and put up helpful materials for papers, assignments, and days you missed. Feel free to comment or ask questions. It's a "chill" blog but can be very helpful. I'm excited to have you in class. Thanks in advance for your super hard work. :)
