Welcome, English 9 students! I hope you enjoy reading To Kill a Mockingbird! I love teaching this novel and am excited to be trying blogging with you this year. Below you will find blog posts that contain assignments you are to complete on your own blog for TKAM. Make sure you follow all of the directions! Ask questions, too, if you are confused. Not all of your assignments are on the blog, so stay tuned in class for other homework.
