Book Club Choice

I chose to read Wondrous Words: Writers and Writing in the Elementary Classroom because I feel like not many students are really excited to write or do many writing assignments. I, myself, haven't always been too fond of mandatory writing assignments; I feel it's so much more rewarding when you can write whatever you choose. However, I'm interested to read this book and learn about the different techniques that will get students more interested in writing. I believe it will be a challenge as a teacher to come up with fun and interesting ways to get the kids involved and wanting to write, but I'm hoping this book will teach me some new methods.
