My name is Heather MacCorkle. I am a teacher who calls a small school district in the gorgeous Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania my educational home. I currently teach AP Literature and Composition, English 10, Creative Writing I and II, and Introduction to Poetry. I could not be happier.
As an educator, I often need an outlet for my thoughts and feelings about learning, teaching, school, and education. There are so many things to think about, so many conversations to have. That’s why I started this blog many years ago.
I pour my heart and mind out here, hoping someone will enjoy and perhaps benefit from my words. I hope that someone is you.
I am a Curator
In many respects, I’m not a creator of learning activities. I’m a curator. I scour the texts, textbooks, the internet, and more to bring lively and engaging activities to my students. Now, I want to share some of those resources, along with my thoughts, with you.
That said, I also have spent many hours thinking and creating essays on topics in education and reflections of my life.
