Summer Session 2009

I am teaching the second half of English III/IV in room 205 this summer.  I will be posting our lesson plans here each day in case you need to review what we're doing in class.

We generally do not assign homework in summer session, due to the intensity of daily instruction.  However, if you need additional time to finish an assignment (not a quiz) you may take it home and work on it. 

If you have any questions or concerns, you can reach me at jennifer.hilley@ocps.net or by clicking my name on the Boone website.  Two weeks=the second half of the credit you need, so let's do it!
