Hello Parents!

Welcome to my English 2 blog.  I’ll try to post comments directed to parents here once every month or so.  You can bookmark the address or use an RSS feed reader to collect the posts.  I’ll post instructions on the latter in an upcoming post.  

HW due Tuesday 9/16

4th: 1. Read “The Whitsun Weddings.” As always, read with a pen and with a dictionary nearby.  Use both liberally.  2. Read through the lab instructions. 3. Read the biography of Philip Larkin that I provided. 10th: Read “The Whitsun Weddings.”  As always, read with a pen and with a dictionary nearby.  Use both liberally. 

HW for Monday

5th: Sorry again about the printer problem.  You can access “The Whitsun Weddings” here.  In fact, you can access a whole bunch of Philip Larkin poems here.  If at all possible, please print a copy for yourself or stop by the English office and get a copy from me on Friday.  This poem is considerably longer than the poem we read in class, but read carefully, with a pen in hand and a dictionary nearby.
