About Me
I am an AP English Literature and Composition teacher who has been teaching for eight years, four of them at ZCHS. I enjoy knitting, gardening, Zumba, Yoga, and sarcasm. I am always looking for good classroom materials to constantly renew my curriculum. Favorite book: Mr. Ives' Christmas by Oscar Hijuelos. I teach American Literature: Grapes of Wrath, Great Gatsby, Scarlet Letter, Maggie: A Girl of the Streets, Black Boy, Death of a Salesman, The Awakening, Walden, and Scarlet Letter. Favorite Quote: "The only thing I am certain of is my own confusion".

    Hi Gretchen - that´s German! And my welcome is from Bavaria/Germany!
    I focus on Web 2.0 apps in the classroom - feel free to check some of my sites.

    Additionally, I´ve created one of the biggest group on CR2.0 called DigiSkills with now 455 members - it is about digital teaching methods like blogging...
    Would love if you decide to join too.
    Greetings
    Hans
