Anglo-Saxons!

As we descend into the ancient times of Anglo-Saxon myth and legend we must first delve into who these people were, what they blieved and how their culture affected the stories they told, the lives they led and the history they left behind.

In class we previewed this time period with the Anglo-Saxon powerpoint. Absent? Just click on the powerpoint to reivew what was discussed in class. Remember, it's always fun and games until you have to save your entire culture, slay the dragon, get the gold and restore order so the natural world is not stuck in upheaval. You know, the average day for any hero.

We will take notes in class on this time period as well. If you were absent or lost your note page please click on the link to print out the Anglo-Saxon note page.

Welcome Back! {The 2013-14 Edition}

Seniors and Juniors,

Welcome Back to the 2013-14 school year! I hope your Summer break has allowed you a much needed chance to rest and you're now hungry {metaphorically speaking} for the learning that this year will bring.

A couple of links you will need to either favorite or acquire as an app {free of course} to make your lives easier. The first is Turnitin.com, Socrative student {room number R-8}, and you can always follow me on Twitter @mrsotogo. I will add more links as we go, but this is enough to get you connected.

Remember, you are your biggest advocate. I am just here to here to bug you about turning in your work, nag you about college essays, and torture you with archaic reading that I sincerely hope
you will find meaning and value in.
I leave you with these last words from the classic Alice in Wonderland.

"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?

That depends a good deal on where you want to get to. 'I don't care where--'  Then it doesn't matter which way you go"

So, I ask, does it matter where you want to go?

Welcome back.

Mrs. Ordway
