Welcome!  I hope everyone had a wonderful summer break.  I lookforwardto working with all of you for Honors English 10/WorldLiterature. There was some confusion with summer reading and theassociatedassignments.  Students and I have figured it out aftermeeting with mycolleagues.  If anyone has any questions left about thesummer reading,please do not hesitate to ask or send an email: sblum@dawson.k12.ga.us.

Itry to update lesson plans on a weeklybasis.  At times, I will placethem up in 3-week cycles.  That is mymost preferred long-term planningwindow. 

Thank you!
