As an educator for 14 years, I not only have an extensive background in helping children succeed in reading and writing I also have a passion for working with children and driving their passions. Under my care I have seen children who have given up on their learning, reignite their passion with some of my strategies. I have also seen gifted students be challenged like they have never been challenged before.

Students will then decide what feedback they will use and write a second draft of their paper and share second draft with group.
