About the store
This store has a variety of materials for teaching ELA; however, the emphasis is on writing at the middle school level. Most of my materials have a writing component to them, and many have scaffolding built in as well. My most popular products include: grade specific writing responses for reading standards in literature and information in grades 6th, 7th, and 8th grades, grade 6 HMH Collections (older version, but some text selections are the same), a few in grade 7 for HMH, and grade 8. I also have many writing prompts, writing strategies, and back to school writing workshop materials to choose from.

I have been creating curriculum for the classroom for over 29 years, and have been a teacher-author for TPT since 2015.

Teaching style

Writer's Workshop is my jam. Students LOVE self-expression, and I teach this through writer's workshop. Students want to improve their self-expression, so by teaching students to be better writers, I can encourage and engage them in reading to become better thinkers and writers. I employ lots of writing strategies and techniques. Online learning and flipped classroom using Canvas LMS and Microsoft Word or Google Apps are some of the ways I deliver instruction.Also, Interactive Notebooks help my students to keep organized and to value their progress through the course. I use a variety of learning activities including A/V, computer activities, interactive notebooks, group talk and center activities to keep students engaged in learning. I try to make learning accessible to all of my students, no matter what their academic readiness may be. I create engaging interactive notebook activities for TPT that I have used successfully with my students.
