Personal information:

1. First name is Francesca, but everyone calls me Franki.
2. My hometown is Novelty, Ohio. It is about 20 minutes away from John Carroll.
3. Some of my hobbies included working out. I love to run I try to make sure I run a few miles a day. I also love taking car of my dog, Mila, she’s one years old and I am completely obsessed with her. This semester I am really busy with school and working. I nanny two adorable little kids ages 1 and 2.

Learning Style:

1. I am definitely a visual learner. I am always writing or typing notes out during classes. I like individual work as opposed to group work. Group work is honestly super stressful to everyone involved and most of the work always ends up falling on one to two of the group members. I like to be given instructions and sent on my way, slow moving classes make me super anxious.

What Have I Been Reading?

1. I love to read and try to read as much as I can. Usually during the semester I have no time because I am busy with school work and other obligations. Recently I read For White Folks Who Want to Teach in the Hood by Christopher Emdin. That book is truly amazing and I encourage all educators, even those who don’t want to work in inner city school districts to read it. I also recently read Educating Esme by Esme Raji Codell. It’s a journal written throughout a teachers first year. I also like to read fun and lighthearted books. I recently read I Had a Nice Time and other Lies as well as Nice is just a Place in France. Both books are written by a group called the Betches. They’re extremely relatable for girls in their 20’s and 30’s. I am currently reading their latest book When’s Happy Hour? 

Other Questions

1. I honestly don’t have any questions about the class, because I had you for School and Society I believe I have a good idea on your teaching style and the class layout!
