This book will encourage my students to write a well organized essay. The topics I will be focusing on includes, research, writing, grammar and sentence structure. After my students read this book, we will utilize the author's writing process, and use that as a guide to write our own essay. This book reflects on a student's life that our students might be able to engage with better than other readings. I look forward to seeing how this project will impact my students this semester. The name of the book is, "My Start Doesn't Dictate My Finish".
