I teach Juniors and Seniors at a Technical High School. My favorite thing about my classroom is that it is engaging - I utilize pop culture and media beyond the traditional American literary canon! My Senior Seminar course is all about genre: Mythology, Fantasy, Sci-Fi and Gothic Literature; my Junior course focuses on the American Identity and Banned Books. I try and engage every student and encourage their passions while presenting diverse voices from around the world.
