I ignite my students’ curiosity by applying world connections in my lesson plans. I think it is extremely important for students to be able to see the value of literature and make profound observations. Once these observations are made, they can use their critical thinking skills, which translates to their writing. I firmly believe every student has the foundation to be a great writer. In order to tap into this foundation, I also apply my students’ interest to my lessons. It is very important for students to be engaged throughout my activities.

For my students to be able to tackle the real world, I offer a variety of interactive assignments. Some of these assignments include college essays, resumes, and Socratic Seminars. All of these assignments provide real-world experiences and demonstrate higher-order thinking. I ask my students to think beyond the classroom and envision a future for themselves.
