This book is a small treasure for middle graders and older readers as well. The author has created a book, which highlights historic and modern figures, educates about the various purposes and forms of writing, and manages to steer away from boring the entire way through. Plus, it's illustrated and well organized. In other words, this is one which will shine in classrooms, and I'm even considering adding it to my own homeschooling curriculum. To say this book doesn't pack variety would be wrong. The author has included figures from different time periods, each from very different backgrounds, different cultures, and different view points on all sorts of themes and issues. This alone impressed me. Then, each figure/personality mentioned receives their own, short 'chapter'. The Table of Contents points out exactly who is where, making it simple for readers to flip to the person they're interested in learning about. There is a short and very direct biography over each person, which points out their general background, reasons for writing, and accomplishments. Then, each one holds a couple short sections, which give helpful points and help readers to develop and improve their own writing skills. All of this is done with bright illustrations, clear and simple to read text, and a lack of unnecessary directions. The end of the book adds even more resources. So, this book definitely packs a ton on the education side of things. The author has obviously spent care and time on her research, and masterfully brought the information across in an interesting way for the intended audience. Add the entire inspirational idea that writing can change the world and views...and this is not a book to be overlooked. I received a complimentary copy but am considering buying another copy for myself since this one is really that good. näyttää 2/2 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
