Welcome to Kevin Brooks's English 110 web site. Some basic information is posted already; additional information will be added to support classroom activities and specific units.

The schedule will be updated when necessary via this website—I'll try to alert everyone to any changes.

The "blogfeed" below provides links to the most recent entries in my TeachingBlog. A "blog" or a "weblog" is a frequently updated website, often dedicated to specific topics or issues. I use my weblog to find information relevant to the courses I teach. You are welcome to read any of my entries, but definitely watch for ones with (110) at the end of the title, and check out the 110 Archive.
