Hi everyone! I'm Erin Graham, your instructor, & this is the homepage for our English 1A course. I'm so glad you're here, & I'm excited to spend this semester with you.

Our course is set up in weekly modules. The "Students: Start Here" module will focus on getting you familiar with how the class is organized, how to use Canvas (our learning management system), and let us get to know each other. After that, each module will start with an overview listing the learning objectives, giving you a brief outline of what we'll cover, and detailing the tasks you'll complete to be successful for that week.

Here are some other helpful pages as we begin the semester:

Be sure to familiarize yourself with the class by reading your syllabus.
You can also check out my "About Me (Erin Graham)" page for information about my background and/or experience.
The "Instructor Communication Policy" page has all the ways to reach out to me, & how I'll stay in touch with you throughout the course
If you are new to Canvas/distance learning & would like technology support, please see the "Technology Help & Tips" page for more information.

I look forward to teaching you this semester! Please feel free to contact me at ergraham@collegeofthedesert.edu if you have any questions. I'll try my best to respond to you within 24 hours.
