Hello! Christine here, your neighborhood CCHS English teacher. In the coming months, I'll be using this space to share the inside scoop on our English class and modules, and perhaps even to share samples of student work. So stay tuned! 

In the meantime, check out this fascinating podcast series from Note to Self called "Bored and Brilliant", which explores our addiction to phones and why setting them down to give us space to get bored could just be the best thing for us and our creativity. 

Hmm. Cultivating boredom... sounds like a great topic for an English module!
