• This year, to comply with district policy and better serve my students, students will keep their phones in a locked "Phone Lounge" while in my class. They will retrieve it at the end of class. 

    Students must also use their school-issued Chromebooks. They are not permitted to use personal laptops or ipads.

    Additional novel extracts are available for free on Schoology as a digital text and/or I will have hard copies in class. We will also read a variety of short stories, essays, visual texts, and poetry. 

    Textbook-StudySync Reading and Writing Companion (Volumes 1 and 2): Students will each have a copy that they keep in class. They may write in the book and can keep it at the end of the class. They can access the materials through a digital login at home by selecting McGraw-Hill in the left column of our Schoology course. This should take them to a "launch app" page. From there, they select "library" and search for the text.
