Hello Teacher Friend! I am a mom of two and wife who loves to read (multiple books at once), to cook and to spend time at the lake. I have taught high school English for over 25 years and love to read PD books for fun. I am here to help you be great in your high school English Classroom.
This is your headquarters for great materials to use in High School English Classes. I focus on helping upper level high school teachers with a teaching close reading, improving writing skills and all things AP Literature and Composition.
I can help you whether you are a new or seasoned high school English teacher looking to change it up or starting a new teaching adventure. I have taught all levels of high school, but most recently, my focus has been English 11 and AP Literature and Composition.
So, if you don’t know what to do next in English 11 or English 12, you are starting AP Lit for the first time or you already have ideas but don’t know the best way to implement them, this is the place for you.
Or, if you are looking for ready made lessons for upper and advanced high school English classes, I’ve got your back.
