Adolescent Literacy Chapter 11

In response to the writing in chapter 11, I get the sense of some nice overarching ideals. The idea of teacher as writing may be disconcerting to a lot of teachers, but for an English teacher, it seems to be quite natural. I think that the teacher as a writer allows the teachers to have, as Romano states, an empathy for what all writers go through. As for his idea of multiple genres, I feel that this is important because as a teacher, we never know what genre or what approach is going to be the one that will spark a students writing.
