 images8.jpeg images2.jpeg images3.jpeg images4.jpeg images5.jpeg images6.jpeg  images7.jpeg images9.jpeg                     Welcome, Honors 10 Students!                                                                                                                                                                                                   Now that you’ve made your summer reading selections, you’re ready to post. Be sure to tell us the title of the book you are reading and to fill the comment box. Remember to PROOFREAD carefully because it hurts me to post comments with egregious errors.                                                                                                                                                                                                                         I’m excited to start reading and, oh, so curious to know which books you have chosen and why.   As you read, share your questions, your insights, and your observations. Feel free to ask questions and to react to each other. Post often, but whatever you choose to share, have fun with your conversation.  I’m looking forward to reading your posts, so let the blogging begin!                                                                                                                                                           P.S.  If you need another copy of the summer reading letter, click on the following link.  summerreadingnew2008letterpdf.pdf
