Future Site of Coach Taylor's English Blog

This blog will eventually be a resource for students (or parents of students) in my classes at Hillcrest Christian School. Once this blog is up and running, I plan to update it quite often throughout the year. My plan is to update it weekly if not more often, but only time will tell. Until then, make sure you knock out your summer reading.

General Information

All Classes
It's the English Blog! Try to contain your excitement. The purpose of this blog is to supplement the information provided on STI. I can post videos that I find helpful, link to other English-related resources, and make copies of certain handouts available. Also, this gives students and parents another way to touch base with me and keep up with what is going on in class.

I use LibreOffice to create all of my handouts, but I will try to save all of the files as either a .pdf or an .rtf to avoid format issues.

Feel free to leave comments, questions, or suggestions. No log-in is required to comment, so you do not need to any sort of account. Please leave your name at the end of the comment unless you want it to be anonymous.

Because anyone can leave a comment, I have set up the blog to require my approval before your comment can be viewed by other visitors. Just because your comment does not show up immediately does not mean that it did not go through.

I am excited about all of my classes this year, and I hope you are as well.

My schedule is as follows:
1st - English 9 Advanced
2nd - Writing Skills
3rd - Planning
4th - Speech
5th - English 9
6th - English 9
7th - Soccer

Until soccer seasons starts, I will be in my room until 3:30 every day. After soccer gets rolling (October), I will leave my room at the end of 6th.
