This is a literary essay I wrote, comparing the themes of 2 poems about war (the poems are included in the document). This is a good tool if you want to model a literary essay for your students, but don't feel like writing one yourself!

7 years of successful teaching in the Public High School system in NYC. While there, I have taught English to 9th, 10th and 11th graders. In addition I have taught courses in SAT Prep, Media Studies. Digital Photography, Screenwriting and Music Theory. Over the years I have developed a reputation for creative lesson plans, passionate instruction, and excellent classroom management skills.
