Sharing Materials

I have to share with Danielle: syllabus google Classroom Hamlet DOAS BNW Stranger Short Stories Today I learned that half the staff in the district office was either let go, resigned, or got other jobs due to money missing. I also learned that I want to start each of my lessons with "Why Are We Doing This?" I also learned that students need to know the Why first in order to buy into English. I have a huge amount of work to do. Welcome to school year 2017-2018.
