Welcome to Mr. Silvestri's 9th Grade English class. This website is designed as a guide for your homework, classwork, projects, study guides, and major assignments. It is NOT, however, a replacement for staying organized, participating in class, and ultimately attending each class. If you miss class, you can check the site to see what was covered in class; if you forget to write down your homework assignment, they will most often be posted here. Good luck and work hard this year!
Congratulations - You're in the last marking period of your freshman year!
