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.

I'd like to teach the world to read...

Happy Holidays!  In a few short days, you will begin your final semester of high school life.  I am excited that I will get to witness those last few exciting days with you!  More importantly, I am excited that we will be reading some great works of literature. Books are such an essential element of a fulfilled life.  I know that you all have read many wonderful books in your years of reading.  So, my question to you in this blog is "If you could require the world to read one book (with the exception of the bible), what would it be and why would you want them to read it?"  I will share mine with you:  "I would require the world to read Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter.  This book teaches about honesty, responsibility, courage, and freedom.  It emphasizes the importance of individuality and inner peace.  I can't wait until we read it together."  Post your book choice and reason by midnight, Thursday, December 27, 2012).
