Books

Last night I finished reading The Freedom Writers Diary. I would describe it as motivational teacher literature. My mom got a signed copy from the Literacy for Life conference in Saskatoon last month. Erin Gruwell, the teacher from Wilson High School in California, was a guest speaker at the event. She sounds like a very dedicated educator and the way her students journal about the books they read in class makes me think I should try to read a few of them. Most of my real reading these days is about language teaching theory and developing teaching materials for my two CERTESL classes. Though I am always open for fun book reccomendations.
