Theresa (Russ) Covich has 6+ years' experience teaching college and university courses. In her composition classroom, she encourages students to cultivate their own research interests, to read for contexts and conversations as well as analytically. Over the semester, her students' intensive and extensive reading helps them to recognize rhetorical conventions of academic writing, while she coaches them through the writing process--research, drafting, and revising.In her literature classes, students rediscover the value of reading verse aloud so that they listen more attentively as well as annotating visually.
