Happy Memorial Day


Hello and Welcome. I have designed this website to open the lines of communication among the teacher, students and parents. I believe a three-way partnership is the only way to ensure each child's success in my English class. I have included My Expectations of each child, my Homework Policy, the National Reading Standards and a direct link to the Gallagher Middle School Web Site where the homework assignments for all 4 classes are posted daily. Below you will find links to the current "Book of the Month 1/2 Club" Project as well as the Rubric used to grade that project. There is also an Extra Credit Project assigned for those students who can read more than 1 book in 6 weeks. Below you will find a link to the Extra Credit Project and the rubric. I encourage you to view them monthly and use them as checklists before the project is handed in. Please check the News Bulletins and Announcements for the what is happening "This Month in English Class."

January Genre!

The genre for the book the students must read from December 4th to January 20th is Fantasy or Science Fiction. The students must have the book approved by me first and it must be age appropriate. The students have 6 weeks to read the book and complete the project. The project is not assigned until midway through the 6 weeks (December16th) so the students should be halfway through their books by then. The project is a test grade and students will want to do well. I strongly urge students not to procrastinate and wait until the last minute. I suggest finishing the book early and leaving enough time to complete the project thoroughly. For the advanced readers, there is an extra credit project for any students who can read more than 1 book in 6 weeks. I want you challenging yourself!!!
