Students will listen to a well-told story, and learn about the rare and interesting, dark tales.

My degree is in teaching English. I have also taught history for years. I have taught both in a brick and mortar and an online setting. I have a niche interest in bizarre and dark historical stories. I do my best to research them. I am am writer and storyteller. I have over twenty years of experience teaching rhetoric writing, reading, language arts, and critical thinking skills. I am familiar with the material, and have the experience to foster meaningful learning. I have been teaching English, Language Arts, History, ESOL, reading, and writing for twenty years. I have taught all levels of secondary English, Social Studies, and History, both in-person and online. I currently teach longer, more in depth courses on some of the topics that we will cover in this course. I have done a lot of research into these topics, because they interest me, and my students find unusual history fascinating. I have a degree in English Teaching, and I enjoy teaching students how to explore historical events through written material. As an English teacher, I have taught students to read and critically analyze differentiating opinions about fictional works and  non-fictional topics and arrive at a substantiated belief. In addition, I have taught in a team taught, multidisciplinary Language Arts/History classes at the secondary school level. I teach a separate course on Roanoke, which would be a great next class.
