In this 5 week course, students will read and analyze Mary Shelley's ππ³π’π―π¬π¦π―π΄π΅π¦πͺπ―. Each class will consist of student led but teacher directed discussions and an in-depth analysis of selected chapters. I always want my classes to be super interactive and thought provoking; therefore, students are encouraged to take the material and draw wider reaching connections rather than simple fact retention. Because this work is often considered to be the first in the genre of science fiction, it is a must read for upper middle and high school students.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi! I'm Mrs. Ginny, and I am so very excited to guide your student through the world of books! In regards to my teaching experience, I taught 7th grade English for two years and 7th-12th English for six years. I currently tutor with three tutoring companies and offer private lessons at my home.
I have a M.Ed. in English Education from William Carey University, a B.A. in English with a minor in speech communications from William Carey University, and an A.A. degree from Jones College. Before leaving the public and private school system, I held an AA teaching license.
Every time I read a new book, I feel as though I have made a new friend, and I hope to help your student see reading this way. I am extremely passionate about the written word and will use this energy to foster the bookworm in your student!
On a side note- I love spending time with my family, reading aloud to my daughter, gardening, journaling, and READING!Reviews
