10 Short Videos to Analyze
Looking for some good journal prompts or short videos as conversation starters? This PowerPoint presentation of 10 videos (a few minutes or less each) really gets students thinking about how to effectively tell a story without interviews or voiceover. My featured FREE writing assignment goes with it or either item can be used alone. The videos span countries from Thailand to the U.K. so it's good for promoting IB and international mindedness.

Experience
This is my tenth year teaching fulltime. I have taught grades 9-12 high school English, Journalism, Yearbook and AP and IB Psychology. I am an experienced MYP and IB Language A Literature English teacher.
Teaching style
I believe in hands-on, inquiry and project-based learning. One of the things I enjoy most about teaching is nurturing creativity. I teach with the idea that great conversations lead to deep learning. Teaching AP Psych helped me become a better teacher in every way. (All that info. on the brain, learning and memory, language acquisition, etc. really generated some “aha” moments.) I love integrating art, music, history and psychology into lessons about writing and novels.
