Welcome Back!

Hi Everyone,

The summer is quickly coming to an end and the back to school advertising is in full force so that can only mean school is about to begin! With our upcoming return to LDSS, my thoughts have turned to preparing for ENG 2D and ENG 3U and here is what I have been thinking thus far:

ENG 2D students - I have two classes this semester and am looking forward to teaching some familiar faces as well as some new ones :) Our class will have a multicultural focus this semester with a focus on literature written by authors from a variety of cultures. I really love learning about other cultures so I am very excited for this semester!

ENG 3U students - Like the 2D classes, I am looking forward to seeing some familiar faces as well as new ones :) I am also really looking forward to exploring gothic literature through Frankenstein as well as the dark side of Shakespeare's brain with Macbeth.

As many of you know, I am a tree hugger so I would appreciate if all my students made an effort to be environmentally conscious. I am not planning on using very much paper so if you miss a handout, please check my website http://sites.google.com/site/msweirswebpage/ .

Have a great last week of holidays and I'll see you on Sept. 2!
Ms. Weir
