Class experience
US Grade 7 - 10
In this 10-week study, we'll enjoy reading a group of ten short stories written by women of differing backgrounds and eras that will touch on societal issues, societal changes over time, diverse cultures, issues of racism, and more. The stories were written between 1894 and 2017, and they provide a fascinating look at the experiences of women over time. Join me for a class that will help us all grow together in our knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of women's perspectives. Please be...
We will work to gain literary knowledge, while learning about the viewpoints and experiences of others and learning how to share our own.
When I was growing up, we traveled a lot, and I always looked forward to a new trip because my mother would buy a new stack of books for me. I would sit for hours in the back seat of our car and read. Whenever I ran out of books to read, I would read the billboards and every highway sign very loudly. That was rather tedious for my parents, so I'm sure that's why they always made sure I had plenty of books to read! Combine my love of reading with my experience as a reading teacher and my masters in Curriculum and Instruction, and I believe you'll find that I'm prepared and pumped-up to help your student's reading experience be the best it can be!
