Cyrus Dudgeon / cadudge@gmail.com / cydudge.weebly.comWriting workshop with high schoolers / the role of humor in effective teamworkThree years at Espanola Valley High School; one year student teaching (Richmond, IN). Currently teaching AP Lang, senior English, and an elective focusing on the genres of science fiction and fantasy.Google docs, chromebooks, prezi/slides, quizlet, film, music, etcI'm interested in learning how to open my classroom up to different types of literacy. Palmeri speaks to this, but I think we tend to value book literacy--alphabetic literacy--over others in the United States, and I think that can estrange/marginalize many students from institutionalized learning. I hope to develop strategies that will engage more of my students in reworking and reforming knowledge/meaning.Baking, running, television, science fiction, people, walking, family
