Class overview
Students enrolled in ELAR will increase and refine their analysis and communication skills. Students will also expand in all four realms of Language Arts (reading, writing, speaking, and listening). The goal is for you to become (1) skilled and independent readers in a variety of periods, disciplines, and rhetorical contexts, and (2) confident and expressive writers able to produce clear and detailed compositions for a variety of purposes.
About me
This is my 8th year at Eastern Hills High School!
Before this, I taught at Dallas ISD for 14 years! That's right! This will be my 22nd year of teaching.
I have a Bachelor's Degree in English from Texas A & M University at Texarkana. I also have a minor in history.
I love adventure! I'm an adrenaline junkie. I love rollercoasters, bungee jumping, and sky diving.
I also love to travel around the world with my family and friends! Last summer I spent a month traveling all over Italy.
