TEACHING EXPERIENCE

30 years' experience teaching English/Comm. Arts in the middle school, high school and collegiate level. Courses range from standard Middle School English courses to exploratory courses ("Great Productions" video production, "Books with Spines" advanced literature study for Middle School scholars, etc.) to High School varieties (Science Fiction, Satire, Horror, English Lit., Western Lit., etc.). College courses include Storytelling, Satire, Media Literacy and Speculative Fiction.

MY TEACHING STYLE

Neo-Classical, fortified and enriched with humor, ritual, storytelling, lots of strange accents, year-long spiraling content, long-term projects and random, edifiying scholar activities.

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

By day, Ken Wolfe has spent twenty-eight years teaching St. Louisan middle and high school scholars mastery in the ways of English. By night, it's been narrative lies and tall tales to anyone who will listen and pay him. He's a champion of the middle school underdog, four-time winner of the Missouri State Liars Contest, a leading professor of storytelling at the University of Missouri, St. Louis, a published poet, a regular in the hip St. Louis storytelling scene, a unicycling coach, and a nascent author of darkly droll adolescent spy fiction. (Wun, a story of the crumbling ruins of a Bond-esque villain's lair in the jungles of Brazil and the boy who, on a mission trip to the same region, stumbles upon it to find the evil scheme it houses still active and malevolent.)
