Features instructional strategies that help students use writing as a tool for learning and personal development-showing them how to ""write their lives"" without compromise. Tatum addresses the power of writing to connect young people with the deeper meaning in their own lives as they put their voices on record, exploring, in particular, writing as a tool to navigate lives in ""communities of turmoil"" and build positive relationships. Additionally, he'll explore the power of writing to help students construct meaning as readers as they explore the enabling literary works of their textual lineages. The book also addresses the practical implications of supporting students as writers and, to that end, targets teachers as writers. | Fearless Voices by Alfred W. Tatum, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
