The honest and brave Jody Little talks about the importance of reading novels with sad scenes so that we develop empathy for one another, giving students the opportunity to joy write and the necessity of compartmentalizing writing time from teaching time. If you would like to connect after this episode, you can find Jody at www.jodylittle.com and on Twitter @Jodyjlittle and you can find me at www.katenarita.com and on Twitter @KateNarita. Both of us recommend books at www.teachersbooksreaders.com. Happy listening!
