Welcome to 2015-16 School Year!

Welcome to the 2015-2015 school year. My name is Ms. Guy and I am delighted to be your teacher. I want you to become well acquainted with this blog, as I use it to post many of your homework assignments, as well as articles, study questions and important handouts. Be sure to check the blog especially on weekends and if you have missed class. Also know that I have a companion blog called "Teacher Talk" which is used primarily for my tenth grade class and my ERWC class. Nevertheless, if you are looking for a handout, it may be on that blog. I hope that this blog helps ease communication, and serves as a vehicle for learning. This blog will be tailored toward AP English Literature and English Ten.
