Year-long Essential Questions
|
Welcome to the landing website for Ms. Willner's 9th Grade English for the 2015-2016 school year.
This site will house all course materials. Assignments and announcements will be posted on GoogleClassroom, but here you can find all materials for the entire year (in case you missed something, wanted to review something, or just wanted to relive the glory!). Also, your families and friends can keep track of what we're up to -- if they're interested! If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me at [email protected]! Here is our syllabus, and here is a jeopardy game if you want to quiz yourself! |
