My name is Mrs. Radcliff, and if you've found this site then you are likely in my class, or a parent/guardian of a child in my class. I look forward to meeting you!
I am a lifelong learner who believes in the power of education; and by that I'm not talking about school!
As an English teacher I rely upon the content of literature to invoke empathy, broaden minds, and help students analyze the world and their places within it. In short, I teach students that analyzing literature helps them to analyze life.
This year has given us an opportunity to explore some exciting things, so I hope you are ready for the journey! This website is the starting point for everything you will need to know about what we are learning, how to access class material, and for any class or school updates along the way.
Parents, please use this site as your primary resource for connecting with my class.
I look forward to a great semester!
