Ms. Lockridge

Welcome

Welcome to Ms. Lockridge's 9th grade Literature blog.  I will be supply teaching for Mrs. Dickerson this semester.  I have taught Literature at Hillgrove for three years, and I look forward to working with all of you.  Besides teaching English, I am also the Assistant Varsity Volleyball coach, and I enjoy helping with FCA on Friday mornings.  I am a native of Cobb County, and I attended Sprayberry High School.  I also graduated from The University of Georgia. Go Dawgs!!

If you need to get in touch with me, the quickest way is through my e-mail: megan.lockridge@cobbk12.org. On the blog I will post homework and long term assignment information, the daily agenda, and resources students may use to help with this course.

One useful tool in studying for vocabulary is quizlet.  I have set up a quizlet group for this class that allows you to play game, take practice tests, and create flashcards for your weekly vocabulary words. http://quizlet.com/group/84357/
