Reconsidering Homework
Homework is unfair.
October is spooky month so what better way to embrace the season than books with mutant teenagers, witches, vampires, and more! Michael Guevara offers five recommendations for Halloween related books and provides an accompanying lesson for each.
Michael Méndez Guevara is a Mexican American writer and former high-school English and journalism teacher. He has taught on the US-Mexico border, at large urban schools, at rural schools, and in small elite schools. He has taught in schools where students lacked for nothing, and he also has taught at schools where students relied on free school meals to eat and often worked to help support the family. Regardless of whom he taught, he wanted all his students to see themselves as writers who recognized the power of their individual stories.
The pages of his books are rich remnants, reflections, and reminiscences of his years teaching. Michael works as an educational sales rep and literacy consultant. Michael's debut novel The Closest Thing to a Normal Life is now available.
