Attract kids with smart, lively materials.

My writing gets to the point with the energy kids prefer. Conservative or off-the-wall—I can use the style you want. And you can be sure I'll meet your curriculum requirements with solid research, grade-appropriate text, and a clear presentation that makes assessment a breeze.

Subject areas: K-6 social studies; K-12 language arts; basic science

K-6 e-learning: For interactive projects, I've:

• edited or written more than 100 online lessons (mostly social studies, grades 4-6)
• written the scripts for almost 40 interactive Flash animations (mostly science, grades 1-2)
• developed a young kids' web site to support a book (social studies, grades 1-3)
• written scripts for an interactive CD-ROM (middle school math)

Lesson plans: I've written more than 50 lesson plans distributed statewide in print and online by the Indiana Dept. of Education (language arts, grades 6-12). I've also edited or written many online lesson plans for K12.com and the Agency for Instructional Technology (art and science, grades 1-2).

Book: My award-winning early reader, The Daring Escape of Ellen Craft, tells the true story of a woman who escaped slavery by disguising herself as a white gentleman. It was published by Lerner in 2002; I developed the web site, which includes kids' activities and lesson ideas.
