Summer is moving by quickly, and soon we will be back in school. I am looking forward to meeting each of you and beginning our year with discussions about //1984//. The discussions about //A Tree Grows in Brooklyn//, //Deadline//, //I Never Promised You a Rose Garden//, //Glass Castle//, and //Annie John// will take place on this Wikispace. This is what you need to do before we get back to school.

1) Using the discussion tab on this page, post a question about your novel. Here is how you do it. **1)** Clik on //New Post **2)**// Click on //Subject:// **Type the title of your novel** 3) Click on //Message:// **Type your question. 4)** Click on **Post.** Your question should engage your classmates and solicit responses that require a paragraph or two to answer. Ask open-ended questions- not questions that require one word answers.

2) Wait until several people have posted questions on the site then choose a question to respond to. You may respond to more than one question or even respond to somebody's response. I hope that we get a few "virtual " discussions going.

I will be in the wilderness of Rocky Mountain National Park from July 30-August 15th. During this period of time, I will not have internet access, so you will need to help each other with questions or concerns about this assignment using email and the discussion page. I will check this site until Friday, July 30th. I have posted sample questions for some of the novels. You may respond to my question if you like. Good Luck!
