Description

Class Experience

Improve reading analysis, develop critical thinking skills, and build confidence in the creation of literary responses. My goal is for my students to gain confidence in their interpretations and responses. 
As this is an ongoing class format, all work will be initiated and completed in class.

50 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
