Teacher-to-Teacher
Initially, this collection may seem like it only pertains to Language Arts teachers; however, the article cites many important non-fiction writers—such as E. B. White and Rachel Carson—and raises the importance of being able to trace the development of writers (and all professionals) to see how the experiences one has growing up affects one’s adulthood.
