Three Selected Pieces

Most Proud:

It might seem odd to chose this poem as the piece that I most proud of, but- for me- it was a real risk, an exercise in personal honesty, and outlet for emotions that I almost never allow out.



Challenged Me:

This selection easily took me the longest to write, and it still needs work! I think that I could revise this a hundred times and still not be satisfied. It was meant to be an exercise in preparation for my drama and ended up as a challenge in itself.



Other:

I originally started this piece a long time ago, but I have revised and edited it over the years to what it is today. I selected this piece, because I have used a version of it successfully with middle school students as it speaks fairly well to voice, humor, and pacing. Plus, most middle school age students can relate to stories about disagreements with their parents.
