Reading & Writing History for Building Classroom Community High School
This activity is great for building classroom community. It also allows teachers to get insightful writing samples from their students. Students create a go-to list of topics that are meaningful to them and from there they reflect and share with their peers. This is a great activity for teachers who like to encourage journaling in their classrooms, as well. This activity works well with the norms activity in my store as well.

Teaching style
Intentionality is a major component of my teaching and the content I create. I want my students to see how writers and artists are intentional with their craft. I want my students to understand the value of being intentional in their own writing. I believe students should do the heavy lifting in the classroom, so my resources are designed to be robust and rigorous, but easy to adjust and customize for all levels of learners. I’ve done the front loading so that my resources make it easy for teachers to make literature and writing accessible and relevant to their students.
My own education history
I have a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from Florida Atlantic University. I earned a Graduate Teaching Certificate in English grades 9-12 from the University of North Carolina Charlotte, and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Miami in English.
