Ms. C's Middle School ELA Resources

Hello. I am a retired teacher with 17 years of experience teaching language arts/English. Most of my teaching career was in middle school where I taught language arts for 16 years and was known for my creativity. I also taught high school English for one year at the beginning of my career. While I taught both reading and writing curriculum, my favorite lessons involved creative writing. I've always loved to tell stories and enjoyed fostering a love for writing in my students also. Many of my resources have fun writing prompts to engage students in the lesson and encourage them to enjoy language arts.
