Candace R. Craig is a creative writer, free-lance editor, and the author of several teacher guides on British and American works of literature, including The Great Gatsby, 1984, the works of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau, and To Kill a Mockingbird, with more to come. Candace began teaching Secondary English courses in 2000, drawing upon her previous professional experience as an elementary-school teacher and her committed, serious intellectual work as a double-masters student in Curriculum & Instruction and in English Literature. Many of the activities and projects she includes in her literature guides have been tested in the classroom.
