Frankenstein Reading Guides
If you're teaching Mary Shelley's Frankenstein you need this 57-page reading guide for your students!

Teaching style
My education in high school put the "sage on the stage" -- we had lots of lectures and very few discussion-based or student-led lessons. I understand the value of occasional lectures; however, I believe that student engagement drives learning. I earned my Masters at St. John's College, where curiosity and open-mindedness drive learning. I strive to recreate the passionate inquiry in all my lessons.

My own education history
I earned my Bachelor's of Journalism and Bachelor's of Science in Anthropology at the University of Missouri-Columbia. I earned my Masters in Liberal Arts at St. John's College in Santa Fe, NM, where the Great Books curriculum happens through intense and genuine conversation. St. John's encourages deep discussion of texts from the great thinkers: Aristotle, Euclid, Thucydices, William Shakespeare, Leo Tolstoy, Joseph Conrad, Soren Kierkegaard, Thomas Jefferson, and many more.
Additional biographical information
I live and play in Denver with my wonderfully curious and always behaved (yeah, right) standard poodle, Henry.
