[This book] is about teaching adolescents to write with control and abandon, to deepen their understanding of how language and genre work, to write with the eye of a reporter and the heart of a novelist. - Tom Romano, professor of English education, Miami University, and author of Crafting Authentic Voice and Zigzag To read Catching Tigers in Red Weather is to be reminded of what can happen when teachers - and their students - have the time, the respect, and the colleagues that fuel good work. So a book that might have been about the private world of imaginative writing turns out to be about a very public issue: equity. It urges us to ask, 'Could it be that imagination is becoming a luxury good in contemporary America?' When will teachers and students everywhere have what was possible at Michaels's school? - Dennie Wolf, author and independent scholar [This book] reminds all of us, in the midst of state adoption of new standards and assessments, of the important role of creative writing in the development of composition skills and attitudes. - Bruce Penniman, National Writing Project teacher-consultant and author of Building the English Classroom
