It is time to return back to school.  I hope you rec'd your schedule and you are happy with your courses.  I appreciate the students who were able to make it to Open House on Thursday, Aug 20. Here is the supply list if you want to get materials ahead of time:

10th and 11th grade are the same:

     one composition book (100 pages will last the entire semester)

     two-pocket folders with insets

     notebook paper, black, blue, and red ink pen, pencils, & colored pencils

     Bring a book, any genre, paperbacks are lighter as your first book choice

10th graders will study World Literature which covers Ancient Worlds (3000 BC) to our Contemporary World (today) and explores literature from India, China, Japan, Greece, Rome, the Middle Ages, Renaissance, Realism, Romanticism, and the Modern and Contemporary World. 

11th graders will study American Literature which covers our Early America (Beginnings), Early National period, the Nineteenth-Century, The Age of Realism, the Modern Age, and The Contemporary Period (Present).

I am using the workshop models of reading/literature and writing/composition for 10th graders to prepare for the NC Writing Assessment and for 11th graders to start with their topics for the NC Graduation Project.

It is going to be a busy semester, but you will be pleased at what we will accomplish.  I look forward to having you in my class. I can be reached at school 514-6400 via voice mail, annette.milstead@craven.k12.nc.us by email, 252-638-5963 by phone at home, and/or by visiting me in room 311 (I have 2nd period planning), right now Tuesday is my Success Day(which is subject to change)  from 2:50-3:20. See you on 8/25. I'll be the one with a big smile!
