Here are my recommendations on classes you should take.
• Teachers with masters degrees make a lot more money than those without. I wanted to make more money. I did not, however, want to suffer one more minute listening to a burnt-out educational theorist telling me how to manage a classroom. I decided on a masters degree in English. Following are tips for high school English teachers thinking about pursuing the same route.
• Classes to Take that are Probably Required
If your goal is to go into administration, English may not be best choice. If, however, you want to become a knowledgeable English teacher, take the following classes while getting that degree from https://prowritingservice.com/english-essay/:
History of the English Language:
Most universities require this course as part of their masters program for two reasons:
1. Nobody in their right mind would take it without being forced.
2. It gives insights into the English language that no other course could. Understanding from where the language comes helps teach vocabulary, word roots, and differences in word meanings. It also helps with word rhythm, connotation, and writing style.
English Usage and Grammar:
If your university doesn't require an advanced course in grammar and usage, take one anyway.
Make sure the course teaches the difference between grammar and usage so you don't end up like that really annoying teacher who always said, "I don't know, can you?" every time you asked if you could go to the restroom.
Research Fundamentals:
I hate teaching research papers but at least I know how to write one. I spent an entire semester researching "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber."
I know where to look, what to look for, and how to cite it. If my students do their research incorrectly, it's not my fault.
• Top Picks for Literature Classes
You might be dying to take Hungarian One-Armed Female Poets of the 12th-Century, but it won't do you any good in the classroom. These courses will:
Shakespeare:
Inner-city schools teach Shakespeare. Rural schools teach Shakespeare. Preppy schools teach Shakespeare. You get the idea.
Kids dread Shakespeare because they don't understand it. Most teachers dread Shakespeare because they don't understand it.Solve the latter problem and begin solving the former by taking a Shakespearean literature course.
Romanticism:
British Romanticists include Mary Shelley, William Wordsworth, William Blake, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Percy Shelley and George Eliot. American Romanticists include Poe, Hawthorne, Melville, Irving, Emerson, and Thoreau. There's a good chance you'll be teaching several of these authors.
American Realism and Naturalism:
Mark Twain, Jack London, Henry James, Stephen Crane are taught in most high schools in North America. Learn about American Realism and Naturalism and you won't have to make stuff up when you teach it.
Modernism:
If you plan on teaching Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Faulkner, or Salinger, a course on Modernism will serve you well.
TK, a graphic drama series published by Nouveau Urban Literature would make a perfect reader for any subject lesson plan. Reader comes with a Supplementary Workbook. Available in paperback or ebook at BarnesandNoble.com. Can also request a copy by email at newdayacademics@yahoo.com.

My name is Mary Stadinski, and i live in the Clifton, New Jersey. Life is worth living right now for me and my family. All this is because of one man sent by GOD to help me and my family, I once had a life filled with sorrow because my first daughter needed a kidney transplant and all our savings were going towards her medications. This normally leaves us with no money to pay our bills or even put enough food on our table, our rent was due and no funds to pay these bills and life felt so unfair to me, every night my wife will cry herself to sleep every night until one day.
I was browsing through the internet and i saw a striking advert of a loan company that gives out business and personal loans. Their offer was open to everyone around the world. And I have heard so many things about internet scams but at this point of my life, I was very desperate and ready to take any risk and at the end of the day.
I applied for loan from this company at a subsidized rate, The loan process was quick and within 6 working days I got the loan transferred to my account. At first, It felt like I was dreaming. I am now working hard paying back the loan. I felt I should help other people who are in need come in contact with this loan company. Although my daughters kidney transplant was not successful, I lost her to the cold hands of death.
If you are in need of a loan do not hesitate to contact them via email they will reach within 4 hours after contacting them. Contact them via email: ([email removed])
i'm looking to download the worksheets that are set for each state eg, Florida/George, Hawaii/Idaho, etc
