It is an honor for me to be teaching the entire 9th grade. I expect a lot, but I also hope I will give a lot.

I want to give you the chance to lead a truly literate life--meaning you will be a "real" writer in every sense of the word...

I want to give you the chance to read great stories, profound poetry, amazing novels, insightful essays, and powerful journals...

I want to give the chance to share what you read and write in a safe and supportive community of classmates...

I want you to...

Tell Your Story,

Explore Your Passions,

Discover Your Voice,

& Discern Your Wisdom...

 

I want you to give a damn as much as I give a damn...

It's that easy...

And that hard...
