One of my favorite parts of the San Diego Comic Con was getting the opportunity to meet one of my favorite authors - G. Willow Wilson.
I hate to even post this as I always post everything I do for free. I don’t want to put a paywall between this work and teachers who are already underpaid. Resources - like buying books, paying for my website, blog, etc. - gets expensive when funds are tight. If you use my resources and would like to send a little support, I’d appreciate it. If you can’t, I understand and I’ll keep on posting anyway! Thank you to everyone for all of your support over the years!

I live and teach in the suburbs of Philadelphia, PA. I am a proud product of the Philadelphia Public Schools.
My wife is a middle school Language Arts teacher who has always proven to be an inspiration to me - we both love the integration of reading, writing, and history.
We have three children who keep us busy and remind us daily of the importance of education and that we teach someone else's children.
I have been a high school social studies teacher since 2002 - my second day as a student-teacher was on 9/11/01.
Courses taught - AP Euro, AP Macro, AP Micro, Western Civ, Modern US, Global History - grades 9-12.
BA History, MS Reading Specialist
I am a firm believer in cross-curricular writing and close reading analysis
Meeting Congressman John Lewis at San Diego Comic Con - wow!
All three of my children, my wife, and I had the honor of shaking Mr. Lewis' hand!
My daughter loves the scientific-minded and independent Poison Ivy - so glad to have met the author Amy Chu.
Adam Hughes! Another of my kids' favorite authors!
