Ridgeway Middle School Anthology

About the Book

Ridgeway Middle School Anthology: Embracing Diversity Across Time is a collection of students' writings completed during the 2005–2006 school year at Ridgeway Middle School, Memphis, Tennessee. The editor, Mrs. Sharon Hall, M.S. Ed, selected the best of these and, after proofreading and editing and arranging them by genre sent them to a publisher. Many teachers at Ridgeway Middle School were instrumental in motivating students to write from the heart. The project turned out to be a unique learning experience for both the students and the teachers of Ridgeway Middle School. Obviously, the finished book will be of great interest to school libraries, teachers, college students enrolled in teacher education programs, middle schoolers the world over, and child psychologists. It is very important for students to see their work displayed in some attractive way, and those teachers who require their students to turn in written work would do well to consider this quite inexpensive motivational device.
