WELCOME TO 7 GOLD ENGLISH!

    I am thrilled to get to meet and to get to know each of you in the coming weeks. There are so many new and intriguing worlds and ideas for us to explore and create together this year. I know that it is a bit overwhelming at times.

    This site is intended to help you when it seems like there are too many things to keep track of. Here, you will find recent assignments, helpful reminders and tips, a few useful links and some fun ones, too. This site is also a good place to come when you are absent and want to see what you have missed. I will do my best to update it daily.

    However, please remember that this site is NOT meant to replace your plan book. You are required to continue copying your assignments in your plan book when they are given in class.

    Additionally, please feel free to email me whenever you have any questions or concerns, or if you want to share a title to add to my list of books to read!


See you in class!
