Welcome to Enrichment with Ms. Walters!

This is a real wiki! This site is designed for YOU, the student.  Over the the coming months we will read several novels and discuss them in class in a variety of ways.  We are now taking the idea of Literature discussions bringing it into the new age.  As a class, we will be able to interact with each other in and out of class as we read and discuss pieces of literature. 

This site can be a lot of fun and great learning experience, but before we begin we have to agree to follow some guidelines: 

1. RESPONSIBILITY:

• Use of this Wiki falls under the school computer use policy.  Any misuse of this wiki can result in disciplinary action.
• Keep username and password safe and secret (if someone else uses your information you will be held responsible because YOUR name is on it).

2. RESPECT

• School appropriate language only.
• Everyone is entitled to their own thoughts and opinions.
• All comments should be constructive.

3. QUALITY:

• Keep your posts about books- this is not a forum for gossip or other unrelated discussions.
• Remember to use standard grammar, capitalization, and punctuation rules.

REMINDER: I am very serious about the guidelines of this Wiki.  If everyone participates and uses the site in a respectful and responsible way it can be a lot of fun!

Let's try to keep it that way!
