by Katie Wood Ray
I am so excited about the latest book study!  I really  learn a lot last year with Debbie Diller's Math Stations Book and I am looking forward to this summer's read as well!!  Here is a break down of the study with questions:

How might you explain to students that illustrating is composing?
•How might your attitude towards writing affect your students’ willingness to write?
•How might you help students build stamina in their writing.
•What language might you use with your students talk about reading like a writer, bother as a writer of words and pictures?
•Name several books (not previously mentioned in this text) you would gather for your classroom’s units of study on illustration.
