Student Voices

I am always amazed by the quality of conversation when I give the floor to my students to take over.  Today in class, our discussion of Lucy Grealy's "Mirrorings" was incredible.  So many supported their thoughts by referring back to the text.  We questioned each other respectfully, we agreed, we disagreed, and we sought to understand.  I was most intrigued by the conversation about the "quest to be deep," and valued the openness and honesty that came out of the conversation. I want to thank Sarah for sharing something that was very difficult and the class for offering her a safety zone to say the things she was feeling.


Tonight, my friends, write write write your autobiography of YOUR face.
