Description

Class Experience

Far too often, students memorize a vocabulary list each week, take the test, and forget the words. My class provides vocabulary instruction in a meaningful format.

This class is taught in English.

Use context (e.g., the overall meaning of a sentence, paragraph, or text; a word's position or function in a sentence) as a clue to the meaning of a word or phrase.

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.9-10.4.B
Identify and correctly use patterns of word changes that indicate different meanings or parts of speech (e.g., analyze, analysis, analytical; advocate, advocacy).

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.9-10.4.C
Consult general and specialized reference materials (e.g., dictionaries, glossaries, thesauruses), both print and digital, to find the pronunciation of a word or determine or clarify its precise meaning, its part of speech, or its etymology.

I am an Reading/English teacher and teach students who struggle with vocabulary and literacy skills (remediation classes). I use a hands on approach to my teaching. I am pursuing my Masters of Arts in English. I've hosted writer workshops, as well as worked in a writing lab during my undergrad.
