Tillykke.... You found it!
Welcome 1c and 1r to our classroom blog!
If you are reading this, you have not only found our blog, but you are now connected to the one place where everything you will need for class can be found. Of course, we will still use LECTIO for our basic scheduling and assignments, but this location allows you to post questions and comments to me and your classmates (some of which will be voluntary, and some of which will be assigned, once we get deeper into the literature).
Of course, we must set a few ground rules before we begin our electronic journey together....well, actually there is only 1 rule.
1. Be RESPECTFUL.
I commit to respect each of you, as individuals, and I realize that as we embark on this literary adventure known as "English class", we will find that our opinions about the text, the author´s purpose and well, life in general, differ. With that knowledge comes a need for respect. I commit to respect your opinions, comments and ideas that may differ from my own. All that I ask from you is that you do the same.

Guidelines for posting comments:
1. Include your name with your comment, rather than relying on me to recognize you from your email address.
2. Write your comment in a mature and thoughtful way. If you are looking for a place to vent or rant, this is not it. Make an appointment with me and you can vent or rant face to face! :o)
3. If you make a suggestion of other literary selections which you think the class should read as a part of our unit of study, you must include a justification.
_________________________________
Pretty simple, don´t you think?
Of course this class is designed to improve your English--in the areas of writing, reading, listening and speaking, but I plan for it do so much more. As we experience each literature selection, each grammar topic and each literary concept together, we will grow.
Some will grow more than others. Some will grow faster than others. But all of us will grow.
