Teaching Experience: I started teaching 9th and 10th grade English in Elgin, IL. I will now be starting my 6th year teaching 7th grade ELA and my 2nd year teaching 8th grade ELA in the Fall.
I do not excel at teaching research writing. Usually, my classes conduct research to present to the class rather than to put together into a piece of writing. I would like to look into the most effective ways to teach research writing in the middle school classroom.
