Welcome!

This is Mrs. Chiasson's literature discussion blog. As I begin this blog my goal is to foster an ongoing discussion between all of my students this year beginning with The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

Rules of this blog:
  • Others will be able to view this blog, so use your best grammar and language.
  • Use only your first name (and last initial when necessary) when posting comments.
  • I will moderate all comments and post appropriate comments only.

I would eventually like to have a discussion about a novel between two schools in different areas of the region, state, or world.

Thank you for stopping by. Enjoy your time with a book!
