About Bonnie
I grew up on an island off the coast of Maine. My family was quite poor so I often took refuge in books or in nature. I struggled with writing in particular. For whatever reason, I could not get what was in my head down on paper. Two teachers in high school helped build my confidence so I began to write stories and poems regularly. Prior to this, it was thought I had a learning disability and my future would be difficult. Through their support and my hard work, I ended up getting a Ph.D. in American Literature, something no one, least of all me, thought I could do. One of the gifts of my job is now I get to help students overcome their hurdles with writing. I've had students go on for their master's in English, become teachers, newscasters, podcasters, and website designers, and have short stories and poems published.

When teaching any kind of writing, I find that most students lack confidence and have a lot of anxiety about their writing. While I do correct grammatical errors, my main focus is on building students' self-esteem. I struggled with writing as a child so I know what student anxieties can look like. I begin all lessons or classes with personal writing so students can relax and get a sense of their own voice. After this, through revision and practice, we can move on to more formal writing. I also help students find ways to incorporate their writing into everyday life. I've helped students make podcasts, websites, and documentaries. I've taught students in middle school all the way to upper-level college courses.
