Re: [LM_NET] TAR: Books with great "VOICE"?

[Danna Brickell <brickelld@YAHOO.COM>]

When I taught 8th grade language arts, I often used Dave Barry pieces as great 
examples of voice.  However, then all of my students thought "voice" = "funny", so 
I added excerpts from Ellen Foster by Kaye Gibbons.  This combo seemed to make the 
concept clear to my students.

Any books that are good examples of creating a "voice"?


I love this note that I got from one of my teachers...you can just feel the
enthusiasm for this topic.

*I'm starting to torture my kids with "VOICE"  next week and
would
appreciate if you have any books to suggest. *

What a great example of Voice.
