sheaeight re: Optional Book Projects
There was one page with a very limited amount of information on it. It was not the 40 book projects.

alenochan re: Sonnets and Iambic Pentameter
In your plans, you include what's called a Sonnet maker but I do not find it in your packet. Am I missing it or is it not included?

Would you mind if I downloaded your file and tweaked it to fit my school's reading classes?

Scipi (TpT Seller) re: 5 Day Reading Log for Independent Reading
Hi Tamara. I just downloaded your freebie. Even though it is good, I would suggest making a page of instructions so that every buyer knows how, when, and why to use it. Good luck as you sell on TPT!

Hello Tamara, I just purchased your Optional Book Projects based on the preview provided, however, when I downloaded and opened it, there was only one page with ten ideas...not the forty as the description states. I tried to download it again with the same result. The preview had some great ideas and I would really like to have access to the rest. Thanks for your help.

Hmmm. Not sure what happened there. I will look into it. Send me your email to tamaradoe@aol.com and I will send you the entire file while I try to get that fixed. Sorry for the trouble.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
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
MY TEACHING STYLE
Lead by example. When I want my students reading and writing I read and write with them. I have a great rapport with students because I truly care about them and they know it. They are clearly aware that we are partners in learning.
