Often the best adventures are those traveled in the mind from the comfort of our home homes. In this class, we're going to discuss our adventures, while discussing important literary concepts. Analysis serves to enrich the experience of the story rather than muddle it down with boring details. Once students are able to unlock the deeper meanings in stories, they'll embark on meaningful adventures they never thought possible. Each week we will discuss different genres, authors, themes, and more. Stories will need to be read BEFORE class. The links to the story will be included in the welcome message each week. Concepts covered in this class: - Theme and literary devices - Characteristics of different genres - Background information about various authors - History behind the stories - Using textual evidence to answer questions Week of Jan. 15: Grimm Fairytale "King Thrushbeard" by Brothers Grimm: This story is about a princess that is married off to a beggar man.

教師專業知識和證書
學士學位 由 University of Central Arkansas
I have a bachelor's degree in writing and journalism. I worked as a journalist for over five years and won several awards during my career. A large portion of my college years was spent studying creative and essay writing. I have self-published a few fiction books and I am currently working on another. Before changing my degree to writing, my study focus was on education. This change has given me knowledge of teaching and writing.
Current list of professional development that helps me be a better teacher:
- Indigenous People's History
- Teaching Hard History
- Framework for Teaching American Slavery
- Homework Solutions for Your Middle or High School Student (relating to ADHD and executive function skills)
