Welcome to The Book Nook! In this discussion-based class, we share the books we are reading and engage in discussion about them. I begin the meeting of The Book Nook by sharing a novel that I'm reading and my impressions of it. In my introduction to the book, I identify the author and title of the work and provide a brief summary of the plot (without spoilers!). I also share my review of the book, explaining what I liked and didn't like about the book as well as who might enjoy reading it. After my modeled introduction, learners are invited to share the books they are reading and to offer their impressions of each work. I use guiding questions to encourage class participation and to facilitate discussion in the group, and learners are welcome to talk as much as they like! The Book Nook provides an opportunity for readers to share what they're reading and offer each other recommendations. I look forward to seeing you soon!

Parental Guidance
Before class, I send out a set of guidelines on the kinds of inappropriate material we will not be addressing in the Book Nook. If, despite these guidelines, leaners bring questionable material to the class meeting, I will restrict the sharing of this content in the group.

Welcome to my classroom!
For 30 years I've helped students appreciate literature, develop their rhetorical and creative writing skills, and better organize and complete tasks. A central goal of my teaching & coaching is empowering students with strategies they can make use of on their own, and in each class I encourage students to participate fully in our sessions together by contributing to class discussions and asking questions.
I have a Bachelor's Degree in English Education, a Master's Degree in Literature, and a Doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction. My current class offerings include literature studies, book clubs, creative writing and formal essay writing classes, and Executive Function coaching.
When I'm not teaching, I love spending time with my family and traveling! :)Reviews
