Read a lot. Read broadly... Tell stories to your friends, and pay attention to when they get bored... Write a lot.

Welcome to my website! This site will be updated frequently with assignments, attachments, and information about what we are working on in the classroom.
That's me enjoying a cup of tea!
Hi there! I'm Brooke Allen. This is my fourth year teaching Junior High Language Arts and Drama at Grand Traverse Academy. I received my Undergraduate Degree in Theatre from Central Michigan University in 2007 and added a Masters in Education from the University of Michigan in 2010. As a native of TC, I'm happy to be back in the place I call home and teaching my favorite subjects at GTA. In my spare time I enjoy photography, road biking, snowboarding and spending time with my husband and puppy.
My specific interests in teaching involve critical thinking, promoting the love and importance of reading, incorporation of the arts, and technology in education.
