Welcome to my new blog for all things related to the study of English in my classroom.

I am currently designing the units I will facilitate in Senior and Junior English. In Senior English we will study The Diary of Anne Frank, genocides and the social role of literature. Check out the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum website to learn more about Anne Frank and the Holocaust: www.ushmm.org In Junior English we will study the Transcendentalist Literary Movement. We will discuss Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau primarily. We will see how their writings have influenced U.S. literature and culture. Here's a site to learn more: www.transcendentalists.com/
