Five Essential Elements of a Five-Star High School English Class

Deana Swanson November 20, 2024

Writing. Vocabulary. Grammar. Literature. Speech.  English teachers have more work to do and less time to do it than any other teacher in any other subject. Every day, we are expected to cover three to four of these areas in one short class period.  In this session, we will discuss how to implement these concisely and effectively so that our students can understand them, retain them, and grow to be articulate communicators.  Presented by a 3rd to 12th grade English teacher with fourteen years experience.

Five Essential Elements of a Five-Star High School English Class by Deana Swanson was recorded at Teachers Week 2023.
