Welcome to English with Ms. Gharda!
To whom it may concern,
If you're reading this, you must be in Ms. Gharda's English class. Welcome! I look forward to working with you. This blog will be a place where you can find relevant forms of media (i.e. film clips, photos, articles, etc.) to complement class studies and daily agendas. If you happen to misplace a handout or need one because you are absent, you can find those items at http://ngharda.googlepages.com/home. I would recommend bookmarking both sites so you can return to them often! I hope they will serve both of us well.
Yours sincerely,
Ms. Gharda
