WELCOME STUDENTS!

This is a place for us to discuss openly and honestly the literature we are reading. Here we are all just communicating our thoughts on what we are reading. There are no right and wrong answers. However, you are expected to be polite, mature, and on topic.

A little reminder...

If you are in contact with other members of this class, please remind them to email me their book choices ASAP. They need to send their choices to klpalombo@yahoo.com . Also, I will begin posting questions about A Lesson Before Dying on June 13, 2011. Finally, I strongly recommend that you purchase both A Lesson Before Dying and your open selection. If you get the book from the public library, it may not be available in August when school starts and you will need the books then.
