content artifacts
In addition to my pedagogical artifacts, I have included three papers written for my English major. I firmly believe that in order to be the most effective teacher, one must have an understanding of, passion for, and competency in the content they are teaching. I have included these papers to offer an insight into who I am as a writer and to showcase my ability to build and defend a strong argument, complete research, analyze texts, and utilize proper writing standards.
Below is my Senior Capstone paper on the novel Kristin Lavransdatter, in which I explore modern Feminism, Catholicism, and femininity.
