These “Weekly Updates” are blog posts that I put up at the end of each week to recap what has been going on in class. Here you will find interesting video clips and notes, reminders about important assignments, clarification about topics we’ve been covering, class observations that I’ve made, and news about what is to come. Taking time to reflect is something that is very important in our ever-growing busy world. As the months go on, you will find that within these updates, there are not only “ELA-related lessons.” My greater purpose for writing these updates is to offer you lessons that will help you successfully navigate school, and most importantly, life outside the classroom walls.
P.S. To my former students, I haven't forgotten about you! I hope that you all had a great first week back. Visit soon!
