Welcome - Please Read First

Dear Students and Parents,
Welcome to our Literature Blog. This blog will introduce students to Web 2.0 tools to interact and collaborate in the digital world. To enrich their understanding of literature, we will be using this blog to pose questions and discussions about novels, famous quotes and possibly other curricular areas as the year progresses.

Please use this only for school-related communication. This is not a chat room or a Facebook social networking page. Keep in mind that everything you write here can be seen by your classmates and teacher. Please do not post anything on this blog that you wouldn’t say or write in our classroom. Remember to be respectful when responding to other students' comments.

Parents, please note that I will be moderating all comments as needed. Students will be signing their comments with their first name only.

What makes this a great book to read? We want as many different titles on this list as possible. Don't repeat another person's recommendation.
