My Students

I teach English I and English II honors to students who are motivated and enthusiastic. I realize how lucky I am to work at a school as wonderful as mine.

My school is an urban school in Southern Louisiana, in the cradle of Jazz music, crawfish festivals, and Mardi Gras parades.

Laissez les bons temps rouler is the philosophy here, yet, my students, boys and girls (and other) grades 9-10, work hard and apply themselves.

Some of my students participate in Speech and Debates, some write for our famous RiverBend Review, some write for our newspaper. They find practical ways to re-invest what they've learned in the English classroom.

My Project

So here were are, teaching and learning online! I'm a "veterans" teacher and have had to adapt to online teaching quickly, for the sake of my students. They are not going to waste a semester!

A Wacom tablet allows you to write on any imported document, a PDF or a Word document for example, but also a web page, and you can also tweak photos etc.

I would love to get a Wacom tablet to annotate the essays that my students upload without having to print them. It would be easy to write corrections, to suggest edits and then to upload the document back to the student.

Thanks so much for considering a gift!

Grades 9-12
