Description
"I loved the book and the soulful responses it generated from my reluctant writers." -- Dee Conklin, Ph.D. "This journal program is authentic and gets students to write! Because the journal topics reflect current issues, my students respond positively. And, I get great insight into their lives." -- Carol Popowich "This is a book that is sorely needed! I'm impressed with the mature way the topics are presented to the students." -- Rob Owens "This is one of the best books I have seen on topics for writing. All students could benefit from this - not just the reluctant writer." -- Carol Miller, Intervention Specialist "The topics and assignments are intended to develop students' critical thinking skills, encourage self-discovery, and ultimately result in more relevant and proficient writing." -- Exceptional Child Education Resources * Summer 2001, Volume 33(2) *
