Welcome

Sophomore year is an incredible time of change for young adults. During my 32 years teaching in English and history classrooms, I have been drawn back to these sophomores and the opportunity to expand their intellectual worlds. Most are developmentally ready for substantial leaps in the critical thinking, reasoning, and the challenging work that goes with these expanded abilities. Literature and close-reading of text is emphasized in all classes, with in class essays an important evaluation tool. Students will be asked to read and write more than they ever have before.

My schedule for the full '08-'09 school year is as follows:
