Attention parents: We are now reading the novel "Something Wicked This Way Comes" by Ray Bradbury. We will be doing all of the reading in class together, but if you'd like your child to review or read ahead at home, I encourage you to find a copy for him or her. This is certainly not required, but we will be unable to send books home due to our limited copies. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Welcome to my Site! Here you will be able to find assignments given out in class as well as fun and helpful links and my contact information.
Don't hesitate to contact me! If you have a question, or want to show me a writing assignment in advance, if you have suggestions for how to make the course better in the future, or if you want to run ideas for assignments (paper topics, etc.) by me, or whatever else...just e-mail me!
SELECTION OF THE WEEK:
("Somewhere That's Green" From "Little Shop of Horrors")
I know Seymour's the greatest,
but I'm dating a semi-sadist.
So I've got a black eye,
And my arm's in a cast.
Still, that Seymour's a cutie.
Well, if not, he's got inner beauty.
And I dream of a place
Where we could be together at last.
A matchbox of our own,
A fence of real chain link,
A grill out on the patio,
Disposal in the sink,
A washer and a dryer,
And an ironing machine
In a tract house that we share,
Somewhere that's green.
He rakes and trims the grass.
He loves to mow and weed.
I cook like Betty Crocker,
And I look like Donna Reed.
There's plastic on the furniture
To keep it neat and clean
In the Pine-Sol scented air,
Somewhere that's green.
Between our frozen dinner
And our bedtime, nine-fifteen,
We snuggle watching Lucy
On our big, enormous, twelve-inch screen.
I'm his December Bride,
He's Father; he knows best.
the kids play Howdy Doody
As the sun sets in the west.
A picture out of Better Homes and Gardens magazine.
Far from Skid Row
I dream we'll go,
Somewhere that's green.
