Welcome to the rm 653 class blog. This blog serves as a means for students in Mrs. Berg’s 9th grade English class at SDHS to connect, communicate, and express ourselves to the world. On this site, I will post class announcements, upload documents, and provide resources for students to use. This site also contains a student-run blog, which continues our class discussions online.

“Why a blog?” you may ask. As internet communication becomes increasingly important in our world, blogs have huge potential to express ideas and reach an unlimited audience . . . immediately, effectively, and authentically. It gives students the opportunity to enter into a conversation and engage not only with each other, but with the world. The blog is also a sort of digital record of our learning, as it chronicles what our class is doing and discovering. However small, we are making our presence known. So, here are our voices from rm653.
