Ms. Winter's wonderful world of English

Hello girls! Welcome to Ms. Winter's wonderful world of English online.

This blog is a space for English 10 students to exchange ideas about the independent reading you will be doing this spring. You will be able to post your own thoughts and questions, and to respond to the questions others have posted.

While we read Macbeth and discuss it together in class, you will also be reading Of Mice and Men on your own. In addition to reading, your homework will include posting responses to your reading on this blog and writing discussion questions for your classmates to explore.

Enjoy! I look forward to reading your thoughts and ideas.

Woohoo! This sounds like fun, no? :-)

This is a trial comment, and I hope I will be able to successfully delete it. One of the goals I have for this page is that it will foster written discussion between students. I hope they will be able to read the discussion questions posted by others, then write their own thoughts in response. By having the responses posted in the Comment section, we can have the discussions in threads rather than randomly all over the place. Now, let's see how many words this is...86. If this works really well, it will improve students' reading skills, writing skills, analytical skills, and dialogue skills. That would be awesome. I wonder how to use the HTML tags. It's been awhile since I've done it. Maybe: bold this phrase ? I'll have to ask Natalia.
