Publisher's Synopsis
One of the first projects created in 2014-2015 at SunEd High was the poster by Johnny Soto, pictured on the left. This short book will help other students discover the project maker inside each of us. The tips include the 5-step process of breaking past the standard five-paragraph essay. Educators contribute their tips and students who read this book can get started after just two minutes. An expanded edition is planned with the posters that students might produce after reading this book. Or will this be just another dead work that doesn't inspire students to pick up a sheet of paper and start drawing attention to words or lyrics that matter to them? What will it be? Will you be distracted back to your school work? Or will you draw on paper the words that drive your mind in this moment? Give Mr. Steve ten minutes of your words. Make a poster. Let the walls speak. Students at SunEd High School: Help me walk in your hallways. When I return, rolling on my leg scooter, will I be greeted with 45 posters running down the hallways? Will 45 students set aside their schoolwork for ten minutes and put their hearts onto paper? What moves you? Put those words on paper. Make me cry. Help me forget my shattered leg. I want to wheel slowly down the hallways and see your posters whispering to me. Let the walls speak.
