Welcome!

Welcome to the 6th Grade Honors English/Language Arts Blog!

This blog will serve as a fun way for us to interact with each other and go deeper into topics we learn about during class time! A few specific ways we will use this blog are:
  • I may post a POLL for you to participate in that will help me gage how well the class understood the day's lesson.
  • I may post a QUESTION that you will be asked to respond to for homework.
  • I may post a VIDEO or other link that further explains what we discussed in class.
  • Part of your Current Event Assignments will be posting to this blog and interacting with your classmates' posts. (You will hear more about this assignment later!)

{IMPORTANT}

Remember: When commenting on this blog, you are required to use proper spelling and grammar. NO "texting lingo" is allowed! If you submit your comment using texting language, you will be asked to re-write your comment and you may lose points if the post is being counted for a grade.

Remember: When commenting on your classmates' posts, you must always be polite! Rude or mean-spirited, critical comments will NOT be tolerated! All interaction on this blog will be respectful and spur us on toward learning! 

Remember: Any comments you make on this blog will be emailed to me first for approval before they appear on the blog. Any inappropriate comments will have consequences. So, if you would not want your teacher to read your comment, then you need not write it in the first place!

I hope you all will enjoy sharing your thoughts and learning from each other here! I think this blog will be a valuable tool for us, and I'm excited to see how it progresses!


Until Next Time,
Mrs. Burnett
