Teacher expertise and credentials
My experience in teaching this novel to students has been amazing! Students love the funny word play and always have rewarding discussion with each other. Every time I have taught this class it has been a success. I teach with enthusiasm and I make it fun as I am a big kid myself! I teach this class to the level of the students and challenge them to go beyond the book and deeper. Most recently, I have taught this class with gifted students, but again I adjust accordingly.Reviews
