Hello! My name is Maryn Lewallen and this is my first year teaching at ACS. I currently live in Lahore, Pakistan, where I teach middle school language arts. I'm moving to Jordan with my partner, who will teach second grade, and our kids Ezra (5) and August (3).
I grew up in Colorado, so I love being in mountains, hiking, and riding bikes. I'm a collage artist, a singer, and an amateur contemporary dancer. And, like most English teachers, I obviously love reading (mostly fiction, poetry, and memoir).
The work we do in AP Seminar -- reading, responding critically, and building thoughtful arguments -- is the work of our lives as humans and as thinkers. I'm excited to do this work with each and all of you.
If you have any questions or concerns before the school year begins, please feel free to reach out to me at mlewallen@acsamman.edu.jo.
Enjoy the summer! I look forward to meeting you in August.
