Teaching ~ Reading ~ Writing
Welcome to The Literary Archives!
Hello Teachers and bookish friends! I am excited to welcome you to The Literary Archives.
My name is Amanda Posten! I am a high school English teacher, a reader, and a writer.
I have always been a reader, and a few years ago I started this blog to share my thoughts about the books that I was reading. Being able to share my thoughts on books has changed my life and the way that I teach. Now I want to share those book reviews and even more, with you!
Whether you are looking for Teacher Guides for your novel units, reviews of new and old books, or other teacher resources, you have come to the right place!
Make sure you check back each week for new content about teaching, reading, and writing!
Send me a message about The Literary Archives! I am always working on creating new and exciting content and love hearing back from my readers. If you have a topic or novel you want covered, just let me know.
