  Secondary English Education certificate

  I completed this just before we moved to Virginia. At that time

  I wanted to teach English in high school. I student taught at St. Joe High School in South Bend

  as well as at Riley HIgh School. Riley was an inner city school. St. Joe was and is an elite private school. I remember St. Joe as one of the most pleasant educational situations that I have had. The students and faculty were motivated and talented. It was a pleasure to be at St. Joe.

  My orals defense focused on Mark Twain's use of slang. In Connecticut Yankee

  Twain uses the urban slang of that time

  which had become roundly criticized by a wide variety of people. In Huckleberry Finn

  Twain uses more of a country vernacular

  which is less subject to change over time.
