I'm an
Individual
Given Emily Dickinson's comparison between a frigate and a book, my students travel! They discover diverse cultures and different historical contexts as they develop imagination, knowledge, understanding, compassion, integrity, close reading and good writing skills. A professional writer and educator, I hold a Ph.D., M.A. and B.A. in my subjects of English Literature, German Literature in German, World Literature in Translation, Theater Arts and Text in Performance. In addition to researching and writing, I teach for the International Baccalaureate Program and am an examiner. I have taught many creative workshops for the Oregon Writing Festival and initiated a Young Authors Program in Minnesota. Realizing that there is more to life and learning than our limitations permit us to perceive, I can guide you to learn how to unlearn limitations, learn new ways to learn, and learn what is possible for you, while you develop excellent reading and composing skills: *K-8 reading and writing *9-12 studies of literature in cultural and historical contexts *composing interpretive essays and commentaries *composing good arguments *composing creative written tasks *writing college entrance essays Please contact me for an interview appointment by e-mail: [email protected]. I am keen to inspire, encourage and empower you to gain understanding of more possibilities for your education and your life. Yours sincerely, Melissa Ann Reed "Writers travel, readers keep the way open." William Stafford
