Welcome!

 Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog for this wonderful semester!

    My name is Casey McMullen, I am an English and Secondary Education major. I am in the teacher education program here at Montclair State University. I am taking this summer course the summer before my Senior year where I will be doing my Clinical student teaching. I have been interested in writing and teaching for about as long as I can remember. Once I figured that I wasn't going to make the NBA my interests started to shift toward something that fit in my skill set better. 

    Writing is so important because communication is one of the strongest tools that we as humans have. It can be argued that writing and communication is what makes us human. We are the only species that connects the way that we do. Books are not special simply because the book is good but because someone was on the other side writing it down after their experiences. 

    This is why I want to teach writing. I find it incredibly important for younger people to learn how to correctly articulate and communicate with each other.
