Welcome to Ms. Burton's English I wiki.

This site has been designed for my students and their parents. It is my goal that this site will enhance learning by providing a venue to share information and solicit comments.

Lecture notes, presentations and homework assignments for my classes are posted regularly. I also have project guidelines, links to student work. links to technological resources, etc. Feel free to look around and come back often.

Below you will find links for assignments, rubrics, and resources that are relevant to our class.
