What makes a mystery story take on a life of its own in film and theatre adaptations? Why does a story like this continue to surprise and shock generations who are introduced to it anew? And what was it like to be a woman who wrote more than 80 mysteries, 6 romance novels, 19 plays, and an autobiography? In this 4-week course, we'll read 𝑴𝒖𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑶𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝑬𝒙𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔 together, exploring themes of good and evil, lies and deceit, modernization and technology, and good old-fashioned mystery and intrigue. I'll introduce you to author Agatha Christie, bring historical context to life, and help you develop a passion for the story (which means you might end up hating it just as much as you might end up loving it!) -We will stick to a strict reading schedule that guarantees book completion in the 4-week course time. It's a lot of reading (roughly 8 chapters per week), but listening to an audio version is perfectly acceptable if that is better for you. However, you will want to be able to take notes. Week One- Intro to the author and book, in class Week Two— Part One: Chapters 1-8 and Part Two: Chapters 1-3 Week Three— Part Two: Chapters 4-15 Week Four— Part Three: Chapters 1-9 -I will be giving a pre-reading lecture during the first session complete with pictures and an ample study on the background of the author, her work, and what that means relative to the books she wrote. You will feel prepared to understand why 𝑴𝒖𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑶𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝑬𝒙𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔 is such an important addition to the English mystery canon. -A creative writing project will be assigned so that you can try your hand at writing your own mystery. I will read and return your work with notes and feedback, with the goal of helping you be a better reader and lover of literature. -We will also do some dramatic readings together, so get your props and costumes ready! -Class participation and discussion will be the best way for us to learn together. Come prepared to talk about the story, the chapters we're covering, unfamiliar vocabulary, and give us your thoughts and opinions about Agatha Christie’s 𝑴𝒖𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑶𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝑬𝒙𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔. Socratic discussion is the center of our time together, and each When Women Write course is designed to prepare you for college and university-level literature analysis. -To round out a high school semester, add either: Essentials for Reluctant Writers Semester I (academic essay writing) or Essentials for Reluctant Writers Semester II (creative writing) My College-Bound Reader courses include 𝘖𝘧𝘔𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘔𝘦𝘯, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘓𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳, and 𝘞𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘏𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘴. I offer other When Women Write courses featuring excellent female authors. When Women Write courses include 𝘑𝘢𝘯𝘦 𝘌𝘺𝘳𝘦, 𝘍𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘪𝘯, 𝘓𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘞𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯, 𝘈 𝘛𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘎𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘉𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘭𝘺𝘯, 𝘛𝘰 𝘒𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘢 𝘔𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘣𝘪𝘳𝘥, 𝘚𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦 & 𝘚𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺, 𝘌𝘮𝘮𝘢, 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘦 & 𝘗𝘳𝘦𝘫𝘶𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘦, 𝘋𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘕𝘪𝘭𝘦, 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘞𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘕𝘰𝘯𝘦, and 𝘔𝘶𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘖𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘌𝘹𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴.

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
Licenciatura en Música o Teatro o Artes desde University of the Pacific
By the time I entered the 8th grade, I had read more than half of the mystery novels written by Agatha Christie. Her writing was kind of an obsession for me, and I made it my goal to read every single one. Her tight writing and excellent character development made each one of her mysteries delightful, and I soon developed my favorite Christie crime solvers (ask me which ones!) As an author myself, I particularly enjoy studying the works and perspectives of other female authors.
