Welcome
09/04/2018
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...
