Welcome to Mrs. von Wahlde's Period 8 English Class!

Throughout the year, students have been given the opportunity to work together as "editorial boards" to solicit submissions from their classmates, decide on which submissions to publish, and then creatively showcase work on our class blog.


We started with inviting students to publish a variety of analyticalcreativepersonal, and editorial writing. The first editorial project was to write about books the class had read with their book groups in a variety of genres. The second editorial project was to publish the "untold" story of The Catcher in the Rye, which we read as a class, using the missing chapters our class wrote to fill in the blanks in Holden's story. 


Our most recent project has been figuring out a way to showcase a variety of media on a single blog post. The class recited, analyzed, wrote about, and crafted their own poetry this quarter, which we are excited to share with you now. Our editors have thought about ways to share this work in written form, through audio, video, and images, and have worked together with the authors to re-envision their work in a new medium.


We hope you enjoy browsing our site. If you see something you like, please leave a comment for us to let us know! Is there something else you'd like to see? We'd love to hear that, too!
