Welcome, freshmen, to our class blog!

This is the happenin' place to come and visit for updates, reminders, and assignments. Don't forget that you can email me anytime - nwhite@hpregional.org - and that you now have a Google account through High Point, which means you have a full access of Google apps. Go to the High Point website and click on the link to log into the student Google accounts, and make use of this valuable tool.

Below and to the right you will find some valuable links to helpful websites. Below this, you will find Posts that will be my notes to you on various topics, assignments, etc., throughout the year. Be sure to check the older posts, as there may only be one currently showing.

Now, you must remember what Coach Rex Ryan has promised, over and over, that next year is the year for the JETS!! J - E - T - S JETS JETS JETS!!!!

And Let's Go Mets!!!

**Please hold onto the literary terms list that was given to you a few weeks ago. KNOW THEM. We will be adding to this list.

**Be an active reader - use Post-its, and have conversations with the author! Always think about what message is being sent; what purpose is at play?

Internet Links for ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT...

Today you will be heading into the trenches, so to speak, and learning more about what it was really like for the soldiers in WWI...click on the link below, which will take you to other links to click on...the first one to do is "The Christmas Truce." Click on it, and then read through and complete the worksheet. Very cool stuff...you will need to hand in the work when it is completed. You should be able to finish in the period, but if you don't, we will have more time. Hand in what you get done today for classwork credit!! And yes, you may listen to your Ipods while you WORK...
