It is with great pleasure that I teach English Language Arts and Literature to all of you. I'm passionate about my content area and the idea of enriching minds through communications arts. I have a world of knowledge to share and a desire to make change through constant effective mentorship. My work is to guide students into becoming lifelong learners and explorers by preparing high school students to read, write and think on a college level.

English 12 Classes
Writing Activity: Character Analysis
When the queen demands that the knight find out "What is the thing that women most desire?" he searches for a whole year to find an answer. Does the knight gain understanding of women over the course of the story, or is he still essentially the same as he was at the beginning. Respond to this question by writing a character analysis. Consider the following:
* the knight's initial crime
* his reaction to the old woman after she insists her marry her
* his response to the choice she offers him on their wedding night
Common Core W4
The responses are to be written independently. Incorporate direct quotations and specific details from the poem to support their view of whether the knight changes. Be prepared to share your essays with the class.
These essays are due on December 1st (B-day) and 2nd (A-day) 2014 at the beginning of class. They are to be typed and in MLA format. No Late work will be accepted. Follow the link below to find a guide to the writing the character analysis essay.
