Welcome to the New School Year!

Well, it's that time of year again.Welcome to the 2014-2015 school year!

Welcome sophomores to English 10!  This website not only communicates the daily learning activities and homework assignments, but it is also serves as a resource with links to activities, assignments, and handouts to support your learning throughout the year.  I invite you to visit the site frequently and take advantage of all it offers.

I'm eager and excited to work with each of you as we embark together on both personal and literary journeys throughout the year.  As Chinese philosopher Lao-tzu once wrote,  "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Let us begin!
