Day One. Fri. 9/8. Welcome!

Some friends and me near Ha Long Bay, Viet Nam.

Welcome to 9th Grade Global Literature!
Friday was an awesome first day. As you may remember, I asked you to do a little writing about your middle school selves and then - whether choosing to revise or start with a blank canvas - envision who you want to become this year.
We reviewed the syllabus together and you listened to me talk a little bit about myself, the class, and the procedures and ideas we'll be working with this year.
We even got to get up, move around a little, and get to know each other when you moved around the room to answer questions about yourselves.
Homework and due dates are listed below.
I'm looking forward to seeing you all on Tuesday.
