Name: Trenee Seward Nationality: American How long have you been teaching? I began my teaching career in 2004 after acceptance into the Teach for America program. The interview progress was rigorous and probably one of the most difficult interviews I’d ever experienced at that time. I began my career as a Special Education Resource Reading/English […]
About a week after Christmas a surprise gift arrived for me in the mail. I opened the package telling myself, I hadn’t ordered any more books and was wondering what English Language publishing company had sent me another catalogue for 2013.

Check it out http://victoriacorby.wordpress.com. I would say I’m a novice literary writer with a capital N. I actually sat down last November to partake in […]
This year is starting with a big bang with and excellent five-star YA novel. I finally chose one that is living up to my expectations and isn’t a long puffed up series. The story is about Melinda Sordino. She’s starting her first year of high school and no one is speaking to her, including her […]
New Year’s resolutions are becoming nothing more than pressure. If we’re not promising ourselves to honour our gym subscription, lose 5kg., to learn how to speak a foreign language, or to go through those random boxes in the attic, you can count on bibliophiles gearing up to fix the number of books they’re planning on […]
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: 600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 4,400 views in 2012.
