ABSTRACT INFORMATION
'Building from the Bag'

Students will collect materials from books, catalogs, and magazines to explain a topic, such as their past, present, and future OR their favorite things to do, make, or eat. Once these items (usually three) are in the bag, students will gather materials from the internet, books, catalogs, or magazines to trace their original three items back to the land and agriculture. For example, horses are my favorite present thing. I can link this to grass, grain, land, etc. The collections can change to storyboards for public speaking, writing, etc.

Biosketch: I live on a farm in Southern Indiana. It is my family farm. I have lived there my whole life. We raise cattle and horses. I have a few chickens for fresh eggs. I have a BA in English, a MS in education with a concentration in English, and a Ph.D. in communication and culture with a specialty in speech. I am licensed in agriculture, language arts, and Spanish. I teach at a community college and am the Dual-Credit English and Speech teacher for our local school. I teach all seniors who are AP English. I also chaperone more than 100 kids to Washington, D.C., for a senior trip to learn about culture, monuments, agriculture, and history.
