520    "'Who am I?' This is the question that many adolescents 
       ask during the turbulent middle and high school years. In 
       Worth Writing About: Exploring Memoir with dolescents, 
       Jake Wizner addresses how searching for the answer to this
       question leads his students to reflection, to reading, and
       ultimately to deeper, more meaningful writing. Based on 
       his experience teaching eighth-grade English for nearly 
       two decades, Jake believes that a well-designed memoir 
       unit not only aligns with the Common Core State Standards 
       but also forges community in the classroom, encourages 
       kids to read nonfiction, and works wonders with students 
       who struggle with their writing -- or with their lives. 
       Worth Writing About addresses the most common challenges 
       teachers face when teaching memoir writing: How do you 
       help students who say that nothing interesting has 
       happened in their lives? How do you help students balance 
       what is meaningful with what is too personal to share? How
       do you help students overcome the 'I don't remember' 
       syndrome? Jake -- who has published a young-adult novel 
       and often shares his own writing with his students -- also
       delves into the craft of writing, from using mentor texts 
       to crafting leads and memorable endings. He uses student 
       models from his own classroom to show the deep, important 
       work his students produce during the memoir unit. The 
       memoir unit gets kids to write about real stuff -- the 
       things that matter to them. In the process, Jake believes,
       they learn more about themselves, their relationships, the
       way they view the world, and how they want to move forward
       into the future"--Provided by publisher.
