I strongly recommend this book and urge all of you interested in your students becoming not only better writers but better people to read this book. Mar 13, Joy rated it really liked it. There are also some connections to Human Systems Dynamics. This book addresses something I feel strongly: They have their own questions, their own ideas. I'm thinking about trying some of the activities at the end of the book with my students.
