My Project

My students, each bringing their own unique strengths and perspectives, enrich our English Language Arts classroom. Their eagerness to explore and take creative risks inspires me daily. These art supplies, tools for crafting, and even cleaning supplies for a focused space, will make learning tangible. By visually mapping character arcs, creating storyboards to understand plot, or designing symbolic representations of literary themes, students engage with the material in a way that caters to different learning styles and deepens comprehension. This hands-on approach moves beyond passive listening, allowing them to actively construct their understanding, fostering critical thinking, and making learning more memorable and impactful. My goal is to empower them to communicate interpretations diversely, unlocking their creativity and enriching their learning journey.
