My goal in Language Arts in the upcoming year is to try to work hard and enjoy the books and topics we are discussing. I am particularly excited about reading Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream because it is a very well known classic that I knew I'd be reading at some point.

For this school year in Language Arts, my expectations are to complete all of my work on time, stay away from 9th periods and read without falling asleep. I'm looking forward to possibly having some field trips that will go along with our reading for the year. Mr. Gallo -- keep it real & fun!
