One of the most popular literary genres, memoir can provide
literary and literacy access to reluctant adolescent readers and
writers, and help bridge the achievement gap by motivating students
to read more critically and write more meaningfully about what
matters most to them. The introspective nature of memoir helps
students learn about themselves and connect with their environment
or community, while also meeting a variety of Common Core
standards. In this way, memoirs and creative nonfiction can provide
a bridge between *fiction and nonfiction reading, *narrative and
informative writing, *reading and writing, and *can afford a "way
in" to literacy for all adolescents. Special features of the book:
*examples of multiple mentor texts in each chapter *teacher
examples with think-aloud exercises *a variety of student samples
from diverse learners *activities to engage all learners *an
appendix of teacher resources *a reference list of over 150
full-length memoirs for grades 5-12 for whole-class, book club, or
independent reading *a list of writing resources for students and
teachers *12 full-size reproducible materials for teacher and
student use *a variety of reading, writing, speaking, and listening
strategies and activities *across-disciplines applications and
adaptations for diverse learners *daily writing focus lessons in
gradual-release-responsibility format *Common Core State Standard

It is imperative that teachers build community in their classrooms
and across their academic teams and grades in order to make school
a safe and supportive place for adolescents. Teachers must help
their students acknowledge that they belong to a group together,
that they are part of a "we" or "us," and that any
differences-divergent talents, backgrounds, experiences, cultures,
and skills-only make "us" stronger and better. No More "Us" and
"Them" delineates what steps educators can take to create an
atmosphere where adolescent students feel accepted, included, and
valuable to themselves and to their peers. The goal of this book is
to change adolescent attitudes to lead to not just acceptance and
tolerance, but toward an expansion of "us" and respect for their
classmates that will serve to spread an even wider net of respect.
This book provides ideas for lessons and activities that can be
integrated into existing curricula and that meet a variety of
content area standards in language arts, social studies, science,
mathematics, foreign languages, physical education, art, and music,
while also proposing ideas for advisory or homeroom periods and
class, team, and grade gatherings to build respect in our
classrooms, our schools, and our communities.
