Master of Arts English Literature/Rhetoric and Composition
Our Catholic faith teaches us that there are two types of truths, those that are revealed
by God and those learned through study, and that both are important for human beings
To help students follow these steps. I use the following tools and methods.
Invention
Students use structured note taking and pictures to collect ideas from written text.
My students learn that there are three reasons for reading:
Arrangement
Students are provided methods to organize their ideas. This is done through sentence
frames and specific structures related to the three main purposes for writing: information,
narration, and persuasion.
Style
Students are taught the importance of choosing the most effective language for their
writing through paraphrasing or restating in their own words, using websites such as
thesaurus.com and dictionary.com. They are also given tools for acquiring new vocabulary.

Memory
Students are provided with tools such as the quizlet.com website and study logs to build
the habit of regular study. They are also expected to memorize material in preparation for written
quizzes.
