This is a handout/poster for students to use when comparing the four main types of writing (persuasive, response to literature, summary and narrative). It tells what the purpose of each type of writing is. It also outlines for students what would be in the first paragraph, body paragraphs and closing paragraphs. It is meant to be a guide for students so they can understand the key elements they need to include in each type of writing. It is very helpful when 7th grade students are preparing for the California State writing assessment.

As long as I can remember I have been a creative person. Beginning early on I was always involved in arts and crafts projects at home and in school. At the age of 13 I began more formal training taking varying classes in illustration, commercial art and crafts. At the age of 16 I began on the job training in commercial art. I continued my education at California State University Long Beach receiving a Bachelors Degree in Art. After receiving my Art degree I went to work for an Advertising agency. I began as a graphic designer and worked my way up to an Art Director. After working in an advertising agency for more than 15 years I decided I wanted to do something more worthwhile. I had a teacher who really a positive role model in high school. I began volunteering in her graphic design class working with the students on projects. After volunteering for two years I decided I wanted to go back to school to get my teaching credential. After I received my , I began teaching in middle school. I have taught 6th, 7th and 8th grade Language Arts, Social Studies and Read 180. I have also taught 7th and 8th grade art. After teaching at middle school I moved on to teaching art at the high school level. I teach all levels of art including Art 1, Art 2, Art 3, Art 4, AP, and Computer Graphics. I hope to be a good influence and inspiration to my students.
