Summary:

"Personal narrative has taken a backseat to other forms of writing in the classroom, such as research essays and literary analysis. But as Kourtney Hake and Paige Timmerman argue in Their Stories, Their Voices: Using Personal Narrative to Empower Student Writers, Grades 6-12, narrative can guide us through other forms of writing and through learning as a whole. For teachers looking for ways to create valuable writing opportunities for their students, narrative offers an opportunity to harness students' natural urge to tell stories into a framework that will help them excel not only in writing but in life"-- Provided by publisher.
