Welcome to 7th Grade English!  This is my tenth year as an English teacher in Lampasas and I am excited to dive into our blended English and Reading curriculum.  Our district is excited to introduce a new textbook adoption that allows us to challenge our students with student-led learning  based on  the most current research of how our children learn in today's world. Our goal for the year is to learn to read and think as writers, to look at texts through a writer's eye.  We will be reading and writing poetry, narratives, informational, and argumentative texts.  You will have the opporturnity to read engaging, thought-provoking novels you won't want to put down.  Discussion, both speaking and listening, as well as working in collaboration with others will play a large role in class and help to prepare you for the college and career world.  I look forward to spending the year learning with you!
