Welcome everyone to Mr. Petermann's English/Literature class website. Students, remember to have your parents email me so I can add them to my contact list. (My email is petermannm@usd320.com) I'm really glad to be here and hope we can have a lot of fun and learn a ton on the way! I will do my best to post weekly assignments and topics no later than Sunday of the week before. I find that posting too much too soon can get a bit confusing, so we'll keep it simple.
