Welcome! My goal this term is to convert at least half of you to willing, excited English students by June 10th. Have a great term!

Here is the lit theory powerpoint. You also have a duotang with notes and practice questions. Tuesday will be a work day for these practice questions so if you miss tomorrow, be sure to come get a textbook from me in room 201 so you can do this at home.

Be sure to have read chapters 1-6 of "The Kite Runner" for Wednesday's quiz.
