If you are a visually-oriented web surfer, you can search through the information below for school information and other fun stuff. Otherwise, use the list on the left. It contains an alphabetical list of links to the same information.

Are you a student at Berkshire Middle School? If so, you are one of the people I would expect to visit this site. If you are someone else, that's okay, too. Do you want some tips on writing and grammar? That's a main focus of this site. Check out the links at the bottom of this page for help from schools around the country, too.

NOW THAT YOU'RE HERE, WHAT'S THE POINT AGAIN?

Perhaps you're looking for a source of writing or grammar tips, or you're hoping to find an up-to-date homework assignment that you neglected to write down. Maybe you'd like information about Berkshire students' published books, or are interested in the records of the trips to Kentucky cave country. This is the kind of data that will be available during the 2016-2017 school year. The "Quick Links On This Site" box (below) will take you to these and other topics.

You can peruse other sites on the web by using the links below. ("Peruse"? What does that word mean? Click here for an on-line dictionary.)

Quick Links On This Site:

Click on the book icon to begin, or go to tiny.cc/blue6 .		LOOK WHAT WE DID! New for 2016! Berkshire Middle School is filled with published authors.

FUN AND GAMES Play the "LANGUAGE ARTS MAN" game! A talented former student of mine, Dan Sills, has allowed me to share some of his work. But first, you must agree not to change any of it or claim it as your own. Also, you must receive permission from the owner of the computer you are using before downloading any files. If you've done both of those things, here are your options: Click here to download the L.A. Man game as a .zip file. Click here to download a .zip file of one of Dan's stop-action films. Click on the thumbnail picture above to see some of Dan's L.A. Man artwork.
