My district asked that all English teachers turn in writing samples and the prompts that we used in our classrooms. I decided to create a portfolio binder and write a reflection of how the year went.
I teach regular 9th grade English students. If you are interested in reading my reflections, click this link:

At the end of my reflection, I listed my classroom websites. Most of the prompts I discussed and the student writing samples can be found online at those websites.





I looked up your blog after reading about you in the NEA magazine. I like the Verona Lifestyle. I would like to creat this for my students for Romeo and Juliet; Julius Ceasar; and To Kill a Mockingbird. How much does is cost to set up the group? What steps do I follow to create the group (or who do I contact)? Did you send out permission slips to parents to let them know about the project? You have some really great ideas and I really want to implement the technology into the classroom. I look forward to reading your blogs and learning through your experiences.
