US Grade 12
This class is the second part of 12th grade English and Literature. Students are encouraged, but not required to take part one first. Each week, we will spend the first 15 minutes of class working on grammar and editing skills. After our warm-up activity, we will jump into the weekly lesson. Typically, each class will be about 25% lecture, 25% discussion, and 50% class activities. Some weeks may look different, but my goal is to avoid long lectures and encourage students to actively participate in discussions and group activities. After each class, I will post the homework in the classroom and any other important information. The videos for the class will automatically upload for students who miss a session. Students will receive detailed feedback on essays they turn in for revision and editing.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from University of Central Arkansas
I have a bachelor's degree in writing and journalism. I worked as a journalist for over five years and won several awards during my career. A large portion of my college years was spent studying creative and essay writing. I have self-published a few fiction books and I am currently working on another. I have taught in homeschool co-ops and taught my own children to read and write. Before changing my degree to writing, my study focus was on education. Several of the classes I took in college were on how to teach writing effectively.
