Sharing and re-looking at books from your childhood

Yesterday I read Green Eggs and Ham to you to kick off our year. Today, you each brought in a book or story from your childhood and then shared it with the class.

We also talked about what it means to re-look at a book (text) and the ways in which who we are as a person impacts who we are as a reader.

For Tuesday you will write a short essay reflecting on the book / story you brought in to class.

Here is a link to the assignment.

Welcome to the start of the 2014-2015 school year!

Greetings!

Welcome to the start of senior year! I'm looking forward to the chance to meet and get to know you. Get ready for a fantastic and meaningful year, full of opportunities to improve your writing, challenge your thinking, and prepare for life beyond Deerfield High School!
