Writing will occur every week as we learn how to compose journal entries, short writing assignments, and essays in MLA format. Learning how to edit/proofread will become necessary to grow our composition skills. In literature, we will examine various short stories, poems, and novels as we explore different styles and learn literary terms and analysis. Class includes: SAT Vocabulary Words Grammar Literary Analysis - plot, setting, symbolism, imagery, etc..

Contact: Amy Loesch via text (314-596-6535) or email (heatgrammarian@gmail.com) with any questions I will be teaching English 1, 2, and 3, Creative Writing, Public Speaking, World History, and American History. I graduated in 2009 with a BA in Religious Education. I continued my MA in Teaching in Secondary English, but had to stop shy of my semester of student teaching due to deployment. Since then, I've been a substitute teacher at Providence Classical Christian Academy in St. Louis, MO, have been homeschooling my four children since winter of 2016, and have taught numerous classes with the HEAT program. My philosophy is that no student learns exactly the same as another and that learning should be hard work but FUN!
