My loss is the world's gain.Flash forward to a few years ago, and I had the opportunity to pitch a new elective course at the high sc

Some of your colleagues may have used some of my lessons, since these assignments were freely available online on Educabana.com until fairly recently.

Creative Composition Class
During my first year of teaching, I realized that some very bright kids didn't want to do the work I was assigning. Some of them went out of their way to do exactly the opposite of what I was trying to require. I understood those kids, and I felt like those kids at every staff meeting.
However, the school said every kid had to pass Composition 12. Many were not passing, and the school saw an opportunity with a new, creative-thinking teacher, so Creative Composition class was created (with a lo

Importance of learning English language arts
English language arts (ELA) concepts — reading, writing, listening, and speaking — empower students to become effective communicators, critical thinkers, and lifelong learners. They are the foundation for all other types of learning as students must rely on ELA skills to master content from other subject areas and communicate what they’ve learned.
Strong reading skills can help students make sense of written content, and gather information for further analysis. Writing skills can help students articulate their ideas, construct arguments, and synthesize information. And speaking and listening skills empower students to clearly present their ideas, participate in group discussions, and collaborate with their classmates. This is why teaching English language arts is critically important for student’s success in school and beyond.
