“I love the capability of a story to create vicarious situations for students to live in momentarily. During this break in reality, readers can use their imaginations, envision themselves in unusual situations, and reason with ethical questions. Literature has become a meditative experience for digital natives. Beyond the beauty of literature, I love watching students discuss, gaining confidence in their ability to civilly disagree, make an original claim and think creatively. Teaching reading and writing is an endlessly rewarding career!”
