Welcome to Mrs. Ocone's Webpage! My English 11 and English 11 Honors students and Parents at
Manchester Township High School can find information about class assignments, agendas for the
week, links to handouts and other information to make their learning experience in my classes
successful and meaningful. Agendas are tentative and subject to change at teacher's
discretion. Students should make it a habit to copy down the daily agenda and
homework from the classroom board into their student planner on a DAILY basis.
