Welcome to our wiki!
This is a website to be used as a learning resource for our class, 5Heng1. It should be a place where you can discuss the literature that we are studying and to find out about homework tasks or to catch up on missed work. The more that you put in to this site, the more you will get out of it. Also, please feel free to let me know if you have any suggestions for how the site can be improved.

By agreeing to use this website, you are agreeing to observe its rules. This site is an open forum for our class and is to be used solely as a learning tool for English.

You will have to log in a minimum of once a week in order to find out whether that are additional homework tasks. Sometimes you will have to submit tasks online individually or as part of a group.

Initiate discussions; use this as a forum to yell about what is freaking you out about the course, or to share opinions... whatever...

Enjoy!

Ms Kirk :) = =
