Teacher Joe Gatto

When I was teaching middle and high school, it was always a struggle to get students' attention and keep them focused. I found that introducing cool random facts and coming up with fun activities so they wanted to learn more about the new tidbits of trivia in a hands-on way got kids to focus and actually want to read more and participate in class. So, I wrote a series of "fun facts" books for middle school students in the USA, called "The Great Big Books of 'Whoa! Really?'".

I live in Thailand and teach English to adults online. I used to teach English writing and world history to middle and high school students at a Catholic school in Thailand. I'll offer lesson plans based on the topics covered in my books, "The Great Big Books of 'Whoa! Really?'". These lessons will be fun and instill a fascination for various topics in your students. All the curriculums I create include some creative writing activities because I love writing fiction and kids can have fun with it too. In addition, I plan to offer specific creative writing lesson plans, activities, and materials. I'll also create some ESL classes for adults and kids. The classes for middle and high school are appropriate for IB curriculum.
