**Wallwisher**
 A question is written at the top of the page and then students post quick messages, thoughts, ideas about the question asked. This is used to include all students in class discussions, and students can earn homework credit by posting their thoughts about a chapter in a novel we are reading. Some students use the wall to ask others for homework help. All posts are 160 characters. Students learn to be direct and get to the point.

Use the following link to visit our Wall. @http://www.wallwisher.com/wall/dsturner

This site is organized with an index to the left of the page. You will find each unit of study listed in the index and you will find many pages listed that students can use for resources. I post class notes and homework assignments every day and I upload handouts/study guides just in case someone lost a handout/study guide or left one in their locker. It is important that students check the notes they take with the notes I post a few times a week - every day is better. If students review notes daily, then they are ready to participate in class or are ready to ask questions about something they did not understand.
