TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Most of the resources I will post have been designed for an Honors (Pre-AP) English class for freshmen. This is the class I have taught the most, and I often tweak these general lessons and assignment for other classes.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I try to make my lessons as fun and engaging as possible. I really push students to think on their own, access their prior knowledge, and relate content to their own lives.
