Beloved Students,
​

This is wild.  I hope that this blog post finds you more than well.  I can't believe we're doing this all from home and I'm actually really excited about it.  If you weren't aware, we are now going to be doing our assignments forthis class on Canvas until it's determined that we can start attending school together again.  I will post a new learning activity/assignment for all of my A and B day classes on the following days during the 2 week period: March 18th, March 20th, March 24th, March 26th.  Expect to logon on those days to complete an activity or assignment and respond on the class discussion board at your convenience.

To access your classroom on Canvas, just login to Canvas Alpine using your school email and go to my English classroom.  There you will find your first assignment, a book browse and a discussion board.  USE THE BOOK TRAILERS BELOW TO START YOUR BOOK BROWSE.  Email me at ggagnier@alpinedistrict.org if you have any questions or concerns.  Thanks!  
Mr. Gagnier

Today we took Quiz #2 and discussed the following writer's notebook prompt, "John Green derived his book's title from a famous line in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings."  What does the line mean--and why would Green have used it for his title?  Even more importantly, why would he have altered it?  How does Green's meaning differ from Shakespeare's?
