Chuck Morgan, Writing Instructor at CCRI

Welcome

I’m Chuck Morgan, a writing instructor at the Community College of Rhode Island. I teach composition, critical reading, and media literacy — which is a fancy way of saying I spend a lot of time helping people think more carefully about what they believe and why. This site is where I keep track of what I’m teaching, what I’m reading, and occasionally what’s on my mind.


What’s Here

Current Classes — The courses I’m teaching this semester at CCRI, including descriptions and anything students need to find quickly.

Teaching History — Every course I’ve taught across my career, with descriptions of what each one is and what I try to do with it.

Reading Log — I read somewhere between 70 and 85 books a year. This is the running record. It skews heavily toward social justice history, propaganda, horror, and books that make you uncomfortable in productive ways.

About Me — The longer version, including the novel I’m finishing, the D&D campaigns I run for my kids, and why I think confidence is earned by evidence rather than feeling.
