Welcome to English 20.First of all, in case you don't know me, my name is Dawn Benoit.
I have been a teacher since 2002. For most of that time, I have worked at this school and, for the most part, my experience has been in English instruction. Prior to that time, I was a journalist and an editor.
If you check this site daily, you will discover that I do update it after every class. In other words, if you are absent, you can look here and find out what we've done.
What most students do is add this site to their "favourites" on their computer at home.My school email address is: dawn.benoit@nlsd.ab.ca
My home phone number is: 780 826-8931.
If you are absent, you have no real excuse for not doing your work... this site and these numbers will make that task a lot less painful.I have given you all a handout for this course. If you were not here, it is in your portfolio on the desk at the back of the room beside mine. Check there.
I have also handed out an essay terminology sheet. Your task tonight is to read through it and highlight all the terms that you are familiar with (this will help you figure out what you need to study).
