Must Have-Great with Middle School Writers!
This book includes SO MANY beautiful stories to share with students and stimulate their writing! This is my third year of teaching and I don't know what I would have done without this book. I was fortunate to find it here @ Amazon the summer before I began as a new educator. It really helped me set up my writing program for my 6th, 7th and 8th grade language arts...

Ummm. . .Am I missing something?
Yes, this book has short stories, but my inner-city middle graders are not interested in them. Students need stories that they can relate to. Maybe it is just me, but this has not proven to be helpful in my classroom, although it does add to the other bunch of books that I have on my shelf and it makes me look more well-read, I suppose. Please, don't waste your money!

A helpful tool in my creative writing class,
By One-eyed Teacher (San Rafael, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Teaching Powerful Writing: 25 Short Read-Aloud Stories and Lessons That Motivate Students to Use Literary Elements in Their Writing (Paperback)
I have started using this well thought out book in my high school creative writing class. My students, most of whom are reading below grade level, easily understand the stories. The author notes and editor notes help me prepare them for their writing challenge.
This is a valuable teaching tool in my classroom.

i admit--i am a bit biased. i was introduced to this book before i began to work with bob and some of the other writers included in the collection. it is an asset to any classroom library. after i met bob, i began to treasure the book even more. what a fantastic teacher he is... what an excellent book...
