🌟 General 🌟 In this grammar class, students will practice grammar points in the context of great writing. Grammar often seems boring or useless because we don’t learn it within the context of applying it to our writing. When we understand how grammar knowledge can help us become stronger writers, it suddenly makes sense! In this class, I aim to teach grammar that is essential for strong writing. I give direct instruction with grade-level appropriate examples that help students see how they can apply grammar to their own writing. Together, we practice the skills within the context of real writing. 🌟 Weekly Breakdown 🌟 🍁 Fall Semester 1. September 5 - September 11: Punctuation & punctuating sentences 2.

I strive to incorporate lots of encouragement and support while still maintaining high expectations and rigor. 🌟 Interaction 🌟 Students will collaborate to build understanding of the grammar through questions and collaborative skills practice. 🌟 Prior Knowledge 🌟 Students don’t need any specific prior knowledge. However, they should be at the appropriate grade level where they are ready to study the grammar topics. 🌟 About the Teacher 🌟 Meg Connolly is a certified teacher with bachelors degrees in literature and philosophy. She has masters degrees in teaching ELA, grades 7-12, and in teaching students with disabilities. In addition to her masters, she is TESOL certified and experienced in working with ESL students.

My teaching "manifesto":
Teaching humanities is my greatest passion! I work to instill in my students a love of reading, writing, and critical thinking that goes beyond the classroom.
I am passionate about inclusive classrooms that bring a wide range of students together, where we can all learn from each other and enrich each other's lives. I believe that all students can achieve academic success and become life-long learners, regardless of their backgrounds or their learning needs.
As a teacher, I focus on core reading, writing, and critical thinking skills that prepare students for college-level studies. However, I also believe that we all learn best when learning is social and enjoyable. To that end, I take creative and discussion-based approaches to teaching and I infuse classes with students' interests wherever possible.

✅ State certified and tenured English Language Arts and special ed teacher
✅ Masters in teaching English in grades 7-12 from Fordham University
✅ Masters in teaching Students with Disabilities in grades 7-12, also from Fordham University
✅ 120-hour TESOL certified
My teaching experience:
✅ 12 years of teaching experience, both online and in schools
✅ 6 years in New York City public schools
✅ Courses taught:
↳ ELA, grades 7-12
↳ AP Literature and AP Language & Composition
↳ Inclusive classrooms

My related experience:

✅ Instructional Design Coach for university professors (helping them to design effective online courses)
Lastly, some other tidbits about me:
💫I'm fluent in Spanish and I'm now working on my Portuguese.
💫I play violin, piano, and guitar, and I love to sing and song-write for fun.
💫I have a curious cat named Madame George (Georgie for short) who often comes to class!
