Additionally, Julie-Anna holds a B.A. and a Level-5 TEFL certification. She loves teaching creative writing because of her own love for the written word.

Access to the following books: Born a Crime by Trevor Noah (audiobook preferred if not reading the young reader’s edition) Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls Salt to the Sea by Ruty Sepetys The Firefly Letters by Margarita Engle Games: Bananagrams Wordsmithery (https://a.co/d/3WFVnWF)
Please ensure the books on our “to be read” list fit your family’s content consumption standards. Our second book selection is Trevor Noah’s Born a Crime. Two editions are available: the original and one adapted for young readers. The original is available in audiobook format and is truly, in many reader’s opinion, the best way to consume this incredible book. It will, however, contain some curse words. IF this violates your family’s content consumption guidelines, your learner can absolutely read the clean young readers edition and still wholeheartedly participate in class. We will publish two sets of weekly reading breakdowns so learners with both versions will have the guidance they need to prepare for class. Additionally, the adult book discusses “Christmas magic” in a way that may spoil things for believers. I hesitate to write that more explicitly, but feel free to message us with any questions about this particular section of the book.
