About Me

Megan
Greetings! My name is Megan Medley, and I teach Creative Writing and English @ Chaminade Middle School. I have a BA in English and an MA in Education. This blog is a resource for my Creative Writing students as well as a forum for them to ask questions and explore creative writing opportunities. I have taken some of my lesson planning ideas from the "Small World at Home" blog, written by "Sarah," who has an MA in creative writing. Links to her blog appear in my posts where I got ideas from her writing program.
