Maryann Wyner

I began my adult life as a teacher, and after starting a family and managing a craft store, I returned to the field of education, teaching high school English and history and in my later working years as a tutor and a middle school library assistant. I hold a bachelor’s degree from Clark University and a master’s in English from Simmons College. My last teaching position was at Chapel Hill-Chauncy Hall in Waltham, MA.  Upon retirement in 2014, I found LLAIC, and here I got to teach and learn at the same time…and not grade papers or ask anyone to remove his hoodie! I have taught several courses, including Harper Lee’s Mockingbird and Watchman, Young Adult Literature, the Great Migration in America and the short stories of Somerset Maugham, Kate Chopin, Mark Twain and F. Scott Fitzgerald. I have also been involved in high school theater productions and the Lilac Players. This is a reprisal of my Mark Twain course.
