English Language Arts (ELA)

  • I believe in the value and skills students get from mastering Secondary English
  • I love when students understand and are intrigued by literary devices, rhetorical strategies, and persuasive techniques
  • I value philosophy and helping students see the connection between ELA and philosophy
  • I like to show students the 'science' behind ELA-- which includes common patterns around story structure, archetypes, and character development.
