I am a secondary English teacher with certifications in gifted education and special education. I have been professionally teaching for 6 years and have a masters of arts in English education. I have also taught several short story units, and enjoy using discussion-based learning to help students think deeply about the texts that they read.
Students will have short optional writing assignments. If you would like feedback, please send it to me through outschool private message or post on the classroom post.
Discussion, homework, informal assessments, Gimkits, etc.
45 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
All texts are commonly used or taught at the middle level. Some texts may have a spooky theme or reference murder/death (no gory details described). No profanity, vulgarity, etc. will be in any texts that I use.
The teacher will provide reading sources. Each source will be available in PDF format for easy accessibility.
