Curriculum Design
College Course Guides
Multimedia course guides for adult learners in my creative writing and literature classes.
Mentor Text Units
For a sense of my approach to teaching craft and revision in my workshops for young writers, preview my literature study units on TeachersPayTeachers, or click here to see an example in its entirety.
Designed to integrate into a writing workshop, and built around a middle grade novel, graphic novel, poetry collection and/or film, each unit challenges students to read as writers and experiment with a mentor author’s techniques in their own works in progress.
Professional Development
I partnered with KQED Education to consult on the creation of Making Digital Comics, an online course for teachers available on KQED Teach, a series of professional learning opportunities focused on media literacy.
Visit KQED’s ed blog, In the Classroom for articles I wrote about incorporating tech tools into a language arts classroom.
