About Marsha

I have been teaching English in higher learning environments and high schools for 15 years. I am also a professional writer, musician, and environmental advocate who believes that learning should be relevant, enjoyable, and inspire students to make the world a better place.

About the lesson

The first point of engagement is the first day of class and at that point I begin an earnest quest to know who my students are--their backgrounds, their academic goals, their special interests--and I also share my own background and special interests with them. This vantage point allows for an organic deep dive into social justice and environmental issues that are at the heart of my teaching and writing philosophies. Through the lens of such concerns, the rhetorical processes become immediately relevant as students explore the impact of such issues upon their own lives. This exploration involves fact-based research missions during which I insist my students learn what is and what is not a credible source. This emphasis is especially important at a time when misinformation runs rampant on the internet and discernment as regards facts is a critical existential tool. I also want my students to have fun learning, and to that end, I produced educational cabarets with my classes as a culminating event at the end of each term. Content for these productions is student-created and involves integration of the arts around informative presentations relative to subjects covered in class. The specific arts integrated into the productions vary as they stem from students' various interests and, often, experience in theater, dance, poetry, visual arts, and music. While addressing very serious matters, relating to them through the arts provides ownership and empowerment around these issues that might otherwise remain elusive.
