Harper 203, The English Experiment

And it’s off the ground.

Welcome to the official blog of Harper High’s Classroom 203. I’m not exactly sure what I can promise will be here, but what ever it is, it will be apt, appealing, and academic. How ‘bout all that alliteration I just used? You like A’s? Well I do. Yeah being an English teacher. 

So, this is my vision for this site. I know there is not much here right now, but really, believe me, there will be more. And it’s going to be awesome. Like, you might want to come here all the time. Like, you might want to schedule at least an hour or so a day to bask in the genius that will be Harper 203. Like, you might want to quit you job, sell your house, cut your phone lines, and tune in 24/7…I mean eventually.

For the first month or so, I will be asking everyone I know to send in interesting and intriguing education/high school/culture/awesome content for me to post and comment on. I’m not looking for a Pulitzer, or even a vast reader base. I am just hoping to get this blog up and running to the point that it looks, feels, and (best case scenario) is legitimate. 

After the first month, the MAGIC will begin.  At that time you can expect to see the first couple droughts of student genius permeate the blogosphere. Yeah, I’ll have a post or two, but it ain’t about me. As my student’s interests and skill-sets grow, so will their involvement in the blog. By the end of 2009-2010, I expect Harper203, The English Experiment to be fully student run. What that will look like is anyone’s guess.
