English III
- Making our paragraphs unified and coherent
- Beginning a new unit on American wit and humor (Twain, etc.)
English I
- Focus on spelling and vocabulary
- Composing short poems on space/stars (ranged from lullabies to contemplative lyrics to haikus to haunting love ballads)

- Beginning a new unit on narrative poetry (Robert Browning, Edna St. Vincent Millay and others)

Thanks for giving hope that English teachers can make class interesting (haunting love ballads eh?). ha. I'm sure there's no one like you in teaching style, but you inspire me to think outside the box when I actually do start.
