About the site: Welcome, journalists and lovers of art! This is a site meant to publish the creative works of the students in my 2013-2014 Journalism class. It is also meant to keep these students up-to-date on what's happening in the class on a daily basis. I'm sure you will be as delighted as I am to experience their moments of imagination and dedication to the artistic word. Each grade listed above includes a copy of a free-write or an excerpt from a free-write of one of my students (a free-write is what the students do for their warm-up and can include any type of expression including writing, drawing, poetry, etc.). A different student is chosen each week and their name is kept anonymous. There are also updates on homework, classwork and announcements pertaining to each grade. Thank you and enjoy!

About the teacher: My name is Ms. Hendery and I am the new Journalism teacher at Community House Middle School. I was born and raised in Charlotte; however, I recently had the pleasure of living in Scotland as well as traveling all throughout Europe. At the University of North Carolina Wilmington, I majored in Creative Writing (Creative Nonfiction), minored in both Journalism and English, and earned a Certificate in Publishing. In and after college, I interned and wrote for local newspapers and was published in a several magazines. In Wilmington, I created a Creative Writing therapy group at a non-profit agency, where I worked with middle school students to express themselves through the written word. I love to cook, run, be outdoors, and even do a little art here and there (but let's just say, I won't quit my day job for it). I hope, that by the end of the year, my students are as excited about writing as I am. It has brought me to places I never imagined it would.
