The point of education is for students to experience success.  With that in mind, this web site was created.  Welcome to Mr. Marsala’s web based English 9 Honors, Journalism, College Composition, and Speech classes.   Below, a visitor will find our classroom guidelines, grading rubrics, the student writing center, educational links, and e-mail information.  Also, to effectively incorporate technology, I have created this web site and posted all handouts to it.   If a student needs a hard copy, he or she may choose to print it out.  Obviously, few handouts will be given, and access to the site is essential to the course.  Also, the students word process all papers, do PowerPoint presentations, and use the Internet to help draft papers.

 


Congratulations!

 

At the creation of all links, each individual link was cleared by BESS, the filtering system of the
