Welcome students of Mr. Whitehead!
 * What is this website all about?**

This is the first website we will use to familiarize you all with the use of "wikis." We are going to use this, and other wiki's later in the school year to allow you to better __work as a team__, to __edit__ each others work, and to allow you to connect with the __amazing resources__ that the internet has to offer.


 * So...do I have any "wiki-homework?"**

Not yet! For now, I want you to have created a wikispaces account, and to have joined this group. Though there is no homework, or even wiki-assignments, (yet!) please use the links below to get to the resources that you can use to practice your English on the internet.


 * Links**

Please use these links to get to the resources that you can use to improve your English:

Language Links! This is a list of several websites that you can use to develop your understanding of English Grammar and writing.

Rubrics Here are the Maple Leaf Rubrics that your teachers use to assess you in class.

Examinable Terms Here are a few different definitions of all of the terms that you are responsible for as an English student.

After seeing how both classes did on the multiple-choice questions on the e-exam, I would like to try and give you some extra practice analyzing poetry.
 * Poetry Links**

Here is a link to a webpage about metaphors.

Here is another link to a list of terms and types of poetry.

Here is a link to an online poetry quiz, that is only recommended for advanced students.

Sadly, none of these are particularily easy to understand. If you find any online resources that help you study poetry - PLEASE send them to me so I can post them here!
