Mermaids are not always the nice creatures of fairytales. Students will view a brief presentation on mermaid mythology from around the world. Students will interact by suggesting three things that seem factual during the presentation and answering teacher prompted essential questions. Students will also talk about why mermaids are often not seen as factual entities, but instead are considered myths as a whole group. Students will then work on a teacher modeled warning poster for a fictional town plagued by these threatening creatures. Finally, students will present their posters to the class. 3 minutes: Introductions 20minutes: Background information of the mythology 2 minutes: Answering questions 20 minutes: Warning poster creation 5 minutes: Present warning poster

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello all! My style is big and I thrive on new information. My passions and background span Literature, Mythology, Gaming, and Library Media. Teaching chose me years ago and I haven't looked back since. I earned my B.A. degree from Marymount University in 2010 and my Secondary Education teaching license with a concentration in English the same year. In college, I became theatre president and that as well has built this huge energetic personality that has connected with students in a way that helps them to meet goals within a variety of social classes. I went on to get my M.A. Degree at Old Dominion University in 2013 which helped me in pursuing my first assignment as a middle school English Teacher. Now I am pursuing an M.A. in Library Science and I am 6 credits away from achieving that dream. During this process, I have been asked to speak on and have been published within the field of diversity, equity, and inclusion which is another passion of mine. It is important that children see themselves and others within a bright light. I also believe that most learning occurs outside of the classroom and I thrive on producing kinesthetic education.
I am always hitting the ground running. I have worked with kids to teach them the basics of Theatre, Forensics, and Debate as well. Theatre is very close to my heart and I think it helps me to keep up the energy and come up with new and unique ways to deliver content. All learners are unique and no formula that works for every single student. I had a few struggles in middle school and high school, but I had others who inspired me to never give up but also to be gentle with myself. I taught myself ways to excel and pass those tips along in my academic-based classes. Please come join me in celebrating all that we can be.
In my personal life I enjoy video games, anime, reading, animals, mythology, and just meeting new people. I just had my first baby in December 2019 and I just want to inspire him to be who he is and always work hard to achieve his goals. Patience truly is a virtue. I really look forward to seeing you in class!
Always remember: “Being like everybody is the same as being nobody” Rod Serling.
