Welcome to Mrs. Chaussé's BLOG!

Hello, Hello,

This year you will be actively reflecting upon your work in the course as well as your greater understanding of literature and the role it plays in education and your lives.

As the course progresses, you will also be required to read and respond to your peers' blogs in a way that promotes respectful and incisive discussion. The beauty of this blog is that our "discussions" continue long after we have left the classroom. 

Your task is to follow the instructions provided in class and on TigerNET to set up your own Blogger account and blog.

Enjoy setting up your blogs!! 

 Mrs. Chaussé
