ENGLISH 7

Seedfolks projects handed in. We shared them. Great work. Can't wait to hang them on our walls.

Completed spelling test, Unit 14. 

Graded yesterday's Seedfolks test. The multiple choice part. (Absent folk: it's your responsibility to come in and make this up on your return to school.)

Mugshot check-in and review. Make sure to turn in your mugshot sheets for 30 points. (Absent folk, take note, bring yours in on your return.)
A quickie mugshot review test. (Absent ones: You have to make this one up, too!)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

About Me

Sebastopol, CA
After many years as a newspaper reporter and writer, a job that I was lucky enough to love, I got my English teaching credential, hoping to pass on to kids how to find their unique voice and clearly communicate what they think and feel. Public school educated in Philadelphia, college in New York City (Barnard College), transferred to and graduated from UC Berkeley in English and received a master's degree in journalism from Columbia University. Yay, my son, my student in 8th grade, is now a Cal alumni, too, a 2017 graduate with a degree in computer science, now working at Google (You Tube) as a product manager. William Faulkner is one of my favorite writers, as well as Anne Lamott, Langston Hughes and many of the nighttime, satirical comedy shows. On my top bookshelf sit Nobel Prize winning writers Toni Morrison and Orhan Pamuk, along with friends who have won Pulitzer Prizes in journalism, who started writing in junior high or in writing groups in Sonoma County. Go public education in California!
