Welcome To Wiki!

     In the Hawaiian language, "wiki" means quick. This is a quick, interactive     site for English 9 students where they can view daily assignments including vocabulary, upload documents, and post written work. Always keep in mind that this public domain is an educational resource; therefore, students must not write anything they do not want their principal, guardians, and clergyman/woman to read. Inappropriate content will generate unpleasant consequences.

Please review our rules for using this site:

• We will post quality work that is academically relevant.
• We will respect the work of others.
• We will post wiki assignments on the wiki and in no other form.

      Your first assignment is to write a Masterpiece Sentence. You begin with a simple sentence and add to it until you end up with a complex sentence. Here is an example:

The Nile flows.

The Nile flows in Egypt.

The Nile flows in Egypt all year long.

The Nile flows quickly in Egypt all year long.

In Egypt, the Nile flows quickly, all year long.

In Egypt, the powerful Nile River flows swiftly throughout the year.
