Here is the syllabus for the Spring Semester!

Course Description 2012

Please realize we will be doing much more reading and different types of essays and projects. It will be very different from the Fall Semester now that the Autobiography is over.

Again, your first homework assignment is to bring in supplies: a new notebook (or binder), a folder to keep work in, blue/black pens, pencils, a flash drive and a highlighter.

I wish you all good luck! Here’s to a new semester!
