Welcome, all!  
This course will focus on strengthening both your reading and writing skills as we read both fiction and nonfiction together.  You will need a composition notebook for your journal (in which you must make 25 entries per quarter) as well as a binder or notebook of some sort for a reading journal/log.  We will begin the year with a discussion of why read and why write followed by a study of education.  Also, we will read the novel The Catcher in the Rye by Salinger and the nonfiction book The Gatekeepers besides the essays assigned for daily reading.  I fyou ever have questions, feel free to contact me at kelly.king@badger.k12.wi.us.
