12 週間以上レッスン 1:
The Civil War
We will be exploring the Civil War era with Ambrose Bierce’s short story "A Horseman in the Sky." This powerful tale highlights themes of duty, sacrifice, and the human cost of war. Learners will analyze Bierce’s use of imagery and tone to depict the complexity of choices during wartime. レッスン 2:
The Civil War
We will continue exploring the Civil War era by examining primary source letters and excerpts from Abraham Lincoln’s iconic speeches, including the Gettysburg Address and Second Inaugural Address. These texts provide insight into the themes of unity, sacrifice, and freedom. Learners will create a Found Poem to capture the emotional depth and historical significance of this pivotal time. レッスン 3:
The Progressive Era in Poetry and Prose
In this lesson, we willexplore the Progressive Era through the lens of two iconic poems: Walt Whitman’s “I Hear America Singing” and Langston Hughes’s “I, Too.” You’ll examine how Hughes responds to Whitman’s optimistic portrayal of America, analyze their use of poetic techniques like cataloging and metaphor, and reflect on the contrasting tones and perspectives of the two works. Through this activity, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the cultural and social dynamics of the Progressive Era. レッスン 4:
Voices of Change—A Seat at the Table
Building on our exploration of the Progressive Era, learners will engage in the A Seat at the Table activity. By comparing Langston Hughes’ "I, Too" and Walt Whitman’s "I Hear America Singing," they will reflect on inclusion, equity, and the metaphor of “a seat at the table.” Learners will respond to guided questions and discuss the societal impact of these themes. その他の情報

I recognize that discussions about Emmett Till’s story and legacy can evoke strong emotions. To ensure a safe and respectful learning environment, I will:
1. Begin the lesson by setting ground rules for discussion, emphasizing respect, empathy, and active listening.
2. Acknowledge the emotional nature of the topic and encourage students to express their feelings thoughtfully while respecting others.
3. Provide learners with options for how they wish to engage, such as written reflections instead of verbal participation, if they are more comfortable.
4. Redirect any unsolicited or overly emotional comments by acknowledging the sentiment and gently refocusing on the lesson objectives.
5. Encourage learners to share their thoughts or emotions privately after class if they feel overwhelmed, and offer guidance or resources for further support.
This approach ensures a structured and supportive environment while allowing for meaningful engagement with sensitive material.

I have been teaching literature and writing to teens for over 25 years. I hold Bachelor’s Degrees in English, Writing, and Secondary Education, as well as a current teaching license. In 2005, I earned a Master’s Degree in Education and continue to take professional development courses annually to refine my teaching practices and stay current with educational trends and new teaching methods. Alongside my work with pre-teens and teens, I am also an English professor at the university level, where I teach writing and literature courses.
During my 21 years as a high school English teacher, I was proud to help our sophomore students consistently achieve the highest reading and writing scores in the state. My teaching approach focuses on building a strong foundation by breaking the writing process into small, manageable steps. I am super patient and encouraging with my feedback and guidance, ensuring students feel supported and confident as they grow in their writing abilities.
My courses are designed to accommodate all types of learners and abilities, providing a supportive environment where every learner can thrive!レビュー
