We'll be reading and discussing mystery novels together! The class is comprised of teacher presentation and learner participation. Learners are assigned a novel and each class meeting begins with a plot summary of the novel. Following this plot summary review, I pose guiding questions to initiate a discussion of the novel and to analyze the author's use of literary elements including: characterization, setting, internal and external conflict, motivation, suspense, imagery, narration, and theme. Learners are encouraged to participate in the discussion and to offer their interpretations of the literature. The schedule follows: 7/21 - If You Find this (Baker) 7/28 - It Wasn't Me (Levy) 8/11 - Chasing Vermeer (Balliet) Books to be scheduled: The Westing Game (Raskin) The Emperor's Riddle (Zhang) A Properly Unhaunted Place (Alexander) Three Times Lucky (Turnage) When You Reach Me (Stead) Vanished (Chari) Holes (Sachar) *Please feel free to contact me if the cost of this class (or any of my classes) is a prohibitive factor to enrolling.

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! :)
