Blog Post 4: Book Club

I chose to read the book Write Like This: Teaching Real-World Writing Through Modeling and Mentor Texts. I chose this book because I feel like I can really relate to it. When I was in high school I really wished they used more examples of "good writing" or how the essay was "supposed to be written." I learn and retain the information a lot better if I see an example and work off of it and make it my own.I feel like I will learn a lot from this book and it will really help me as a future teacher. My second choice was to do Don't Forget to Write because I thought this book would be very practical in having as a teacher; I still might buy it someday however.
