Once Written













Another basic lesson I taught.



Still True


Ps. People might wonder why I am constantly amazed when I see what I taught to be the norm. Here's why: I didn't plan to be an English teacher. I loved reading and came to love writing, but I most loved editing and teaching. I wasn't schooled in any of this nor did I research my craft. I learned from experience. My teaching was in the basics as I saw them and not from a manual. I think they worked for my students because of that. I tried to make writing simple so that students could find success.
