{"product_id":"9781421890692","title":"2008 Poetry And Stories","description":"I write to discover my soul; I read to discover yours.\u003cbr\u003eWhy is a publication of student writing worthy of awe and celebration? It is worthy of such response because of the miracle it represents. When students engage in writing,\u003cbr\u003eeverything becomes more than it seems. Writers become more than students in seats. Poetry becomes more than an assignment. Teachers become more than knowledge keepers. Discovery becomes the way of life. This compilation of student writing represents an FMS habit of becoming\u003cbr\u003e\"more.\" Student writing is beautiful not because of its form or its structure, but rather because of its representation of individuality and thought. When students write,\u003cbr\u003ethey begin the process of discovering their souls. Writers take a risks when they compose thoughts that represent how they process the world in which they live and solidify their place in it. At the same time, the reader also takes a risk to embrace an opportunity to make meaning in their own lives. This reciprocal meaning cements a relationship between reader and writer that cannot be defined or fragmented.\u003cbr\u003eMany times, in the classroom, student success is dependent upon ability to arrange external information in clear and concise forms. We all know that life is rarely clear and concise and the most effective method for relaying our interpretation of it typically rests within ourselves, \u003cbr\u003enot someone else. Transformations abound beyond the cover of this book. Words become passages to understanding for everyone involved. To the student writers of\u003cbr\u003eFairfield Middle School, thank you for this opportunity to look at my own precious life. The beauty of your words inspires all.","brand":"1st World Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50015174689008,"sku":"9781421890692","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781421890692","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
