| Introduction | I am a passionate English teacher who firmly believes in developing students' critical thinking skills. I study new literacies and work very hard to incorporate new methods into the classroom. Today's students are not like those of the past nor will tomorrow's students be like today's. As John Dewey said, "If we teach today's students the way we did yesterday's, we rob them of their tomorrows." |
| Interests | I love to watch my sons play sports (especially basketball and football). I enjoy spending time with my whole crazy, noisy family! I like to take our dog, Sami, for a walk. |
| Favorite movies | Happy Gilmore, Meet the Parents, Remember the Titans |
| Favorite music | I listen to most every type of music. |
| Favorite books | Chocolate War, Fahrenheit 451, My Sister's Keeper, The House on Mango Street, The Curious Incident of the Dog at Night Time, Who Will Tell My Brother, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, The Kiterunner, A Thousand Splendid Suns |
