ANNOUNCEMENTS
HOW YOU CAN HELP: I'm looking to purchase 8 copies of each of these titles, so we could do literature circles on these books. A literature circle is where groups of students read the same book and help each other with ongoing assignments from the book. These titles feature writers writing about writing. If you are able to purchase one or a set I would be extraordinarily grateful! Bird by Bird by Annie Lamott The Writing Life by Annie Dillard Thanks to Kao Family for purchasing the titles below!
