このクラスで学べること

"They are an unlikely pair: George is "small and quick, dark of face"; Lennie, a man of tremendous size, has a mind of a young child. Yet they have formed a "family," clinging together in the face of loneliness and alienation.

Laborers in California's dusty vegetable fields, they hustle work when they can, living a hand-to-mouth existence. For George and Lennie have a plan: to own an acre of land and a shack they can call their own. When they land jobs on a ranch in the Salinas Valley, the fulfillment of their dream seems to be within their grasp. But even George cannot guard Lennie from the provocations of a flirtatious woman, nor predict the consequences of Lennie's unswerving obedience to the things George taught him." 

Essential Questions:
What is meant by the American Dream?
Is the American dream a destructive or empowering force?
What leads a person to become isolated in a community?
Can social disadvantage be overcome?
How much control does an individual have over their destiny?
What is the value of loyalty in friendship?
Can you be cruel to be kind?

プロフィール

教師の専門知識と資格

     I am a creative, enthusiastic teacher who wants all children to be successful learners through the encouragement of creative expression. I have spent the last seventeen years developing the necessary skills to achieve this goal. It is very important to me that every child learns in a fun and engaging manner. 
     During my career as a teacher, I have been an English department chair, technology representative, curriculum writer, and classroom teacher. In each of these roles, I have gained knowledge that I have been able to apply in my classroom. 
     I am particularly proud of the “Teacher of the Year” award I earned in 2011. I have always strived to be the best teacher possible. I bring creativity and innovation to my instruction. I enjoy creating lessons that inspire, motivate, and facilitate the learning of every child.
     I hope to see your child in my classroom soon.
