It is hard for me to believe that this is my 30th year of teaching at Wydown! I spent the first nine teaching drama in the arts' wing. Since then, I have been teaching 8th grade literacy on team 8West. I am excited to work with all of the students and am thrilled to be working with my wonderful team. 8th Grade Literacy Curriculum includes:
- Writing Workshop - Core Text "Patron Saints of Nothing"
- New Perspectives Unit - Core Text "Speak" - Core Text "12 Angry Men" - Persuasive Literacy Essay
Read the "Course Syllabus" for more detailed information about coursework, objectives, and grading policies.
Essential Question:
What does it mean to be a responsible member of a community?
