Welcome. Put Your Phone Down and Put Your Chromebook Away

Hi Everybody!  We're days away from starting the new school year and I'm going to try my best to make it intellectually interesting and enriching. Certainly, we're going to read, but we're going to focus on writing because writing is where our thoughts come to fruition, and education is about generating thought... original, innovative ideas.  So, we'll read, but we'll create... we'll be "makers" of thought and we'll use essays and research papers and short stories and personal essays and poetry to do it.

   

Writers can change the world, and everybody can write.   Let's be writers!

 

Enjoy every day! 

 

I look forward to meeting all of you.
