Dynamic English Genres is an overview course, designed to provide middle-school-aged students the opportunity to explore and experience a variety of writing forms. These will include poetry, fiction, and non-fiction, with a focus on the interactive opportunity of both class participation and experiential learning (doing the form we will cover).

Classes will take place synchronously and are structured once a week, providing time for students to read and write between class sessions. This also promotes student learning executive function skills such as pacing and planning.
Each meeting will begin with a review of the work, open discussion and class participation regarding ideas, thoughts, and insights regarding the material.

As an instructor with over 30 years of experience, I approach each class from the pedagogy of experiential, Aristotelian practice. This means there's a lot of questions, discussion, relating material to student life, and individual attention - not only during class time, but I will adjust the course to spend more or less time on material based on the students, their interests and experience. This means that I focus on covering the material in whichever way(s) resonate most with the students. 

I take teaching very seriously and believe that students learn best when they are engaged, heard, and provided the space and opportunity to grow their interests.
