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! Hope you're enjoying the winter break. I was wondering if you, your educator contacts or students would be interested in participating in a Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. We'd really like to get Indiana students involved. Please let me know. Thanks!
