I am your run of the mill English teacher. I teach analysis of literature, grammar usage, writing, poetry, visual/film literacy... I do this through respect and enthusiasm, and I love my job!
Position:
English Teacher
Needs:
I love to teach the traditional through the technological. Through podcasting and blogging, students present their critical thinking skills and analysis through creative, contemporary technologies. Cameras and funds to pay for subscriptions to sites (like Glogster) are in demand!
My Philosophy:
I work to maintain a great deal of energy and respect in my teaching. By doing this, my students and I share a very close relationship. My rapport makes dealing with topics my students are initially hesitant to touch accessible and interesting.
