Phyllis - Welcome to TPT. I downloaded your free item which overall is good. Here are a couple of suggestions to get your buyers interested in your products. First, make a cover page using eye-catching graphics so that you will a thumbnail to attract buyers to your product which is better than the big W DOCX. Also, I am finding that teachers like color and clip art; so, think about adding some of that to your freebie. Also, check out the Seller's Forum for TPT for tips on selling. Good luck as you sell.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have over twenty years of experience teaching middle school, high school,community college and home school classes. Currently, I teach writing, test prep, and Effective Learning classes at Lane Community College in Eugene, Oregon, and private writing and literature classes for home schooled high school students.

MY TEACHING STYLE

1. Teach the skill. 2. Model the skill. 3. (Students) practice the skill. 4. Everybody has as much fun as possible.

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

I have received two awards for humor columns I wrote in the 90s for a local newspaper, The Springfield (Oregon) NEWS.

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

B.A. George Fox University, Newberg, OR M.A. California State University Dominguez Hills, Carson, CA

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

I have been a free-lance and contracted writer for about twenty-five years. My writing credits include newspaper, magazine, public relations, inspirational writing, and a humor-based language arts book: CPR, Breathing Life Into Sentences That Might As Well Be Pushing Up Daisies (Cottonwood Press/Prufrock Press, 2010). It is targeted to students from 7th to 12th grades and provides ways for students to "breathe life" into their writing by using a number of stylistic devices and sentence patterns.
