Swashbuckling pirates, the daring exploits of King Arthur, Gawaine and Lancelot, the horrors of Nazi Germany are all some of the adventures covered in English Composition. Through reading age appropriate literature, writing essays and being involved in a variety of discussion; students fine tune their writing skills. Teaching English Composition is a delight for me, because I have had the joy of seeing youth discover that they are indeed writers, poets, historians and masters of the English language!
I began teaching English more than 6 years ago at Lindhurst High School until I came to work at Yuba City Charter School where both of my sons were attending. I enjoy teaching at YCCS, because it is an excellent school where a family atmosphere is fostered.

Attendance and classroom participation will constitute thirty percent of a student’s grade.
Required for each class:
1. English Composition Binder

3. Point Sheet
4. Any books or materials/hand outs.

Essays:
All essays must be in MLA format, which will be covered in class. Any essay not typed in MLA format will not be accepted.

Revisions are an important step in the writing process; therefore, I will accept revision on papers up until one week prior to the end of the quarter. Students will received the highest grade on a revision for that particular essay.
