Videos about literature and stories, grammar, writing, and teaching in general.

I teach language arts to students at LaFayette High School in rural northwest Georgia (not far from Chattanooga, TN). While I am a transplanted Yankee, I come from a geographically and demographically similar area. There's a lot that's different here, but a lot that feels familiar.

Teachers have a responsibility – and an opportunity – to identify where students are at, what's important to them, and to encourage and support them on their way toward those goals. I'm hoping that this channel will be a way for me to help my students, but that it will also connect me with other educators who are passionate about teaching, and perhaps most importantly, reflect on my own practices and become a better teacher myself.
