K9 - that's some teacher.
Yes, she was...<i>wow!<br /><br />K9 - that's some teacher.</i><br /><br /><br />Yes, she was a great teacher. I was lucky enough to have her for two years. <br /><br />In addition to being assigned lots of good literature, we had 25 vocabulary words a week in 11th grade, and 50 vocabulary words a week in 12 grade. Even though I've forgotten the vast majority of them (I think), it's still helpful when reading The Economist, or when my husband runs across a word in his reading that's unfamiliar to him. <br /><br />And, she taught us to write. We had to write regularly and she would go through all our essays and make helpful comments. (Boy, I sure wouldn't want to be an English teacher.) One of her comments that I remember is to pick a single point and discuss only that. I often see editorials in the newspaper that veer from one point to another, or that seem to have no main point. Thank you, Ms. Stalder-Burke.K9Sashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07772723620696175949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691251033406320222.post-36071437013930570822009-07-10T09:21:10.712-07:002009-07-10T09:21:10.712-07:00rocky - thanks for the link!
