I'm making a classroom where students are inspired to write. These books will be well cared for and well read. My students use these books as a basis for finding their own voice, choosing the right words, organizing their ideas and finding the details and comparisons that make their writing clear. With the right inspiration you will hear my students roar! They will find their voice and passion by reading these books. A good book can help a student find just what they want to say. They can find topics they are passionate about and paint a picture with their words.
