Who doesn't like to read something suspenseful, funny, or exciting? The key to engaging students is to find literature that appeals to them. Stories must be exciting and different. These are the types of literary works I use for my classes. I have had tremendous success in reaching students who hate to read. So, join me as we become detectives for a day. 

I have 20+ years of teaching experience in English and English literature. I hold a bachelor's degree in Journalism with a minor in Spanish. I also hold a College Reading and Learning (CRLA) certification as well as having years of experience as a writing consultant for our local college.
