Welcome to The Daily Post! As the name suggests, this portion of the website is updated daily (right after school) and is designed for you to be able to access what was covered in class, from home. It's a great resource for last minute updates or if you are ever absent or find yourself confused about any specifics about homework, reading, due dates, vocab, etc.
Just consider it one more thing I do to make your life a bit easier...

LA 10 Honors
-Due: Syllabus signature form
-Spent a little time making sure everyone knows everyone's name...this took awhile.
-Finished discussing the syllabus, the course expectations, the "unwritten" rules and the class policies. Spent a bit of time making sure everyone understands the implications of the scoring breakdown and how the 50% writing category can potentially impact his/her grade.

Hey folks! Looks like you made it.
Tonight's web assignment is designed simply to get you familiar with the website--it's something we use for class quite a bit and I just want to make sure you've got a sense of how to best make it work for you. So, poke around a bit and see what's on here (as you can see below, this part of the website, for example, is updated everyday with exactly what was covered in class). Once you're done...
... all you need to do is click here and follow the instructions for tonight's web assignment.
