"Breakfast on Mars and 37 Other Delectable Essays "will inspire
students to think differently about the much-feared assignment in
elementary and middle schools around the country: essay
writing.
Rebecca Stern's fifth-grade students were bored to death with
essay writing, and the one thing Rebecca needed to inspire
them--great examples appropriate for kids--was nowhere to be found.
Inspired by a challenge, Rebecca joined forces with her friend,
social entrepreneur Brad Wolfe, and the two came up with a terrific
proposal--to gather together a collection of unconventional essays
by some of the best writers around. They have compiled and edited a
collection of imaginative, rule-breaking, and untraditional essays
that is sure to change the way you think about the essay.
