This class is designed as a transitional semester to prepare students for high school level literature and analysis expectations. There is a steady progression in the difficulty of materials covered in order to lay a solid foundation of literature analysis skills and to set students up for high school success. This is an ideal class for eighth graders wanting to be prepared for the rigors of high school literature or for high school students that struggle with analysis, have little experience with literature, or just need a little more support. There will be weekly assignments to build comprehension, analysis, and vocab as well as a cumulative project or essay after each book read.

Jenny Cutler graduated in 2005 with a B.A. in Education, and in 2012 with a Master’s Degree in Multicultural Education, both from Eastern University. Jenny taught in both private and public schools until she had her first child and decided to stay home with him. She ran a tutoring business during her first few years as a stay at home parent but found teaching online to be an ideal fit for her, and she made the switch in 2014.Â

This was exactly what my student needed to help him feel prepared for high school ELA classes. Mrs. Cutler provided gentle but firm instruction to increase analysis and composition skills and personal responsibility for my student.
