Write Beside Them: Risk, Voice, and Clarity in High School Writing
In Write Beside Them: Risk, Voice, and Clarity in High School Writing, Penny Ann Kittle, MAT ‘89, writes, “This is a book about teaching writing and the gritty particulars of teaching adolescents. But it is also the planning, the thinking, the writing, the journey: all I’ve been putting into my teaching for the last two decades. This is the book I wanted when I was first given ninth graders and a list of novels to teach. This is a book of vision and hope and joy, but it is also a book of genre units and minilessons and actual conferences with students.”
Heinemann, 2008, 272 pages.
