The benefits of providing students with authentic learning experiences are well-known, but how, exactly, can writing for a real audience beyond the school improve students' writing skills? This book is about the collaboration of two teachers, one in Michigan, and one in New Jersey, and the connections they made between their classrooms in order to increase student engagement, motivation, and understanding in the discipline of language arts. Lighting Out for the Territories advocates for a world in which teachers can work alongside other professionals with enough autonomy to teach things that matter in such a way that causes children to think critically, to see the world differently, to ask good questions, and to learn deeply.
