Middle and high school ELA teacher and curriculum developer. I build classroom-tested annotation and close-reading novel-study units, including complete chapter-by-chapter units for grades 6 to 12. The packets are designed to get students marking the text, building vocabulary in context, and writing with evidence, and every one is CCSS-aligned and ready to print and teach. Background in literature, rhetoric, and composition, with years teaching readers and writers from middle school through college.
