Over a hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin famously said these words: Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing."  In this class, we will do both! In this course we will practice a variety of writing techniques for writing contests. We will explore multiple genres, including fiction, non-fiction, and poetry, to understand each as a distinctive medium. Furthemore,  analyze what ties all these genres together. We will treat writing as a fun adventure of which we will travel to foreign lands, learn new ways of communicating, and grow as a result of the journey.  Writing is a process, and we will engage in this process and learn to love the challenges the process brings. By the end of the course students will have written three works of literary art and submitted to three creative writing contests.

I am so thrilled to join the Keetown Academy community. I love learning about international cultures, and I am thrilled to get to know each and every one of you. I am a firm believer that my students are just as much my teachers as I am theirs. For over fifteen years I have taught English: secondary English, ESL, and Adult Education English. I am also a songwriter and freelance journalist. Hailing from Flagstaff, Arizona, my home state, I enjoy outdoor activities, gardening, and making a positive difference in my local community.
