Welcome to ELA 20-1
Welcome to your English class for the 2012-2013 school year! Our focus is on understanding and appreciating literature and insights into human nature, to respecting and valuing the learning and sharing in our classroom. There are no short-cuts in ELA, only a work ethic to take the TIME to read, write, discuss, represent, view, and listen to all the aspects and demands of this course. Each lesson and assignment requires your full attention and dedication because each is a piece of a larger puzzle and the picture does not come clear until the end. You cannot afford to miss any puzzle pieces or the picture will never come together. For now, we have plenty of work ahead of us! Your success depends 100% on your commitment and effort to think and work like an ACADEMIC - one who is dedicated to your growth and development in English Language Arts. I offer you this website to guide you through the course; success depends on you knowing everything on this site! I wish you a great semester!
