As our research came to an end, we had some successes that really helped us with creating our lesson. One success was using the library research tab; we were able to collect information that was credible, reliable, and scholarly. The information we were receiving was reliable for us to teach our students and making sure that they were getting the correct information.

Now, I’m interested in contemporary writing, and … Continue reading What I would teach
