I taught 9-12 grade English Language Arts, Writing, Journalism (yearbook, newspaper, and literary journal)in a school with a population of 2500. I have also worked as a CRISS (CReating Independence through Student-owned Strategies) trainer and a 6-Traits writing trainer for the past eight years and worked at the district level with curriculum implementation and design for five years. I am now a writing coach. I created a site that offers free lessons each week. Visit: www.englishteachersfriend.com
