Welcome to Mr. Morris's English Blog Fall 2009
Dear students and parents,
Several times a week I will use this blog to update vocabulary lists for Honors classes, provide links to instructional materials, share news stories pertinent to class activities, and share answers to questions I could not answer in class. As I expect with my students, I refuse to answer questions with, "I don't know." The better answer is, "I'll find out."
I highly recommend students create a google account (it's as simple as signing up for gmail, which you should do anyway) and post questions and comments in the comments section of posts I make. Each time someone comments on this blog, I receive an email alert ensuring a quick response from me. I will also sometimes offer extra credit to students who first reply to a question I pose on this blog.
In short, use this tool to your advantage.
