~ Lin Manuel Miranda
My name is Ms. Nowlin, and welcome to my ELA class! I am so excited you're here! This website will serve as a hub for our class this year. Here you'll find information on all of my classes, course units, and resources! Let's get started!
My classes this year will be entirely digital. All content and assignments will be presented, completed, and graded on digital platforms. The basis of our digital model will be Google Sites and Google Classroom, and we will use a variety of other online platforms and tools. Our digital learning model will
allow our class to adhere to social distancing guidelines regarding COVID-19 & reduce contamination/spread in the classroom.
more conveniently accommodate students (and the teacher) who may have to quarantine due to COVID-19. Students will be able to continue with class virtually at home.
allow for a seamless transition into full virtual learning if/when we have another full-scale school shutdown due to COVID-19.
embrace the benefits of educational technology and virtual collaboration.
encourage independent, student-centered learning.
"That is part of the beauty of literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you're not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong." ~ F. Scott Fitzgerald
