Hello, new seniors! First graduating class, and we are together again! Yea!!! This will be our classroom interactive web site. Check it frequently for updates, messages, and for information about our course throughout the year. It's easy to use - stay tuned for information about how we will be using this wikispace to do project work. ** From the Gothic to the Virtuous to the Poetic to the Comedic – we will cover a host of British Literature that will not only engage your mind, but will prepare you rigorously for any research or analysis you are required to undertake at the college level. Be prepared to have your brain go the gym EVERY DAY! **

__ Google Accounts and Gmail - get on the bandwagon! __  If you have not done so, please set up a Gmail or Google  account even if you already have email somewhere. We will be using Google Docs and Google Reader regularly, as well as some other Google products that lend themselves to working on project teams. Once you have set up an account (it's free, simple, easy to maintain), start playing with Google Docs and the programs it has for word processing, creating presentations, and making spreadsheets. If you do not have Microsoft Office at home, that is no problem. Google Docs has similar programs that are compatible with uploading into MS Office programs at school. We will be using this a lot this year.

__ Summer Reading - get your info here! __ Global High prides itself on having rigor and relevance as an advanced program that is accessible to __all__ learners. We have a summer reading program for this reason. We read a book together (while we are apart!) and blog and post comments and questions about it here, on the summer reading section of the wikispace. Click below for more information!

** 2011 Summer Reading Information and Mailed Documents **

This summer we are reading various book selections all on the theme of “other unique worlds.” We are all reading something different. See the attachments on the Summer Reading page for more details about your options. You can purchase your books on your own or in the Global Office. The first question will be posted on July 8, 2011. Have about half the book read by that time. On the left hand side of the wikispace is a navigation panel - there are links there to get more information about summer reading, and other stuff. Take a look!
