5.0 out of 5 stars Practical and so inspiring!
Writing a Life is the perfect synthesis between a good armchair read and a how-to-guide. I made notes all over the margins of this book and can't wait to begin teaching memoir to my students. The last chapter - teaching kids how to get ready for standardized tests - will become a classic reference tool for all teachers of reading and writing.

2.0 out of 5 stars Writing a LIfe: Teaching Memoir to Sharpen Insight, Shape Meaning--and Triumph Over Tests
This book was not what I expected. It deals with writing in schools and has very little use for the writing and group I facilitate.
