A204 Annex //...all the wonders of our CA class, magically transmitted to the screen in front of you //


 * Welcome to the Annex. This wiki is intended to extend the boundries of our classroom, a place to find out what's going on in class, to access resources and assigments, and hopefully to collaborate as a community of readers and writers.

Over the course of our year together, I expect my students to read more than they've ever read, write more than they've ever written, but also have more choice than they've ever had before.

Click on the links below for an overview of a year of writing and reading workshop, including expectations, assignments, and resources. Below is our typical weekly schedule to help make this happen.
