Welcome to English 8!
Not your ordinary English class
You think English is Easy?
In this class, we will learn to communicate effectively and read beyond our normal gamut of stories. I hope my students learn how to express themselves and to appreciate reading as a skill and not as a chore!
Maybe not everyone likes to read, but hopefully I can get my students to "hate" reading a little less.
I also want students to try something new. So sometimes, I must be brave to try new things as well. Sometimes you just need take the leap!
I hope my students leave my class learning something new and with the ability to think for themselves. It is important to me that my students are able to effectively communicate their needs, express their goals and understand what it takes to achieve them.
A little bit about Me!
After graduating Turner Ashby High, I went to West Virginia University (Go Mountaineers!) where I got a B.A in English and a B.A in Economics. Then I entered the business field at Banta Book Corp. Finally I found my true calling to go to graduate school to be an English teacher. I received my M.A.T. at James Madison University. Even though I'm certified to teach 6th-12th grade, I really found my home in 8th grade. I love middle school!
