Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Dr. Jeffrey Wilhelm is an internationally-known teacher, author, and presenter. His interests include team teaching, co-constructing inquiry-driven curriculum with students, and pursuing teacher research. His recent research agenda includes studying how student reading, writing, and thinking can be supported through the use of art, drama, and technology. Most recently, he studied adolescent boys and their reading, attitudes, aspirations, and the school opportunities available to them for actualizing and performing different ways of being literate. He is particularly interested in supporting the learning of students who are often considered to be reluctant or resistant. A classroom teacher for fifteen years, Dr. Jeffrey Wilhelm is currently Professor of English Education at Boise State University, where he teaches courses in middle and secondary level literacy. He works in local schools as part of the Professional Development Site Network, and teaches middle and high school students each spring. He is the founding director of the Maine Writing Project and the Boise State Writing Project. Michael W. Smith, professor in the College of Education at Temple University and a former high school teacher for 11 years, has written a wide variety of articles and chapters as well as more than a dozen books, including Authorizing Readers: Resistance and Respect in the Teaching of Literature (with Peter Rabinowitz) and Understanding Unreliable Narrators. Jeff and Michael's previous collaborations include "Reading Don't Fix No Chevys" Literacy in the Lives of Young Men (winner of NCTE's 2003 David H. Russell Award for Distinguished Research in the Teaching of English), Going With the Flow: How to Engage Boys (and Girls) in Their Literacy, and Getting It Right: Fresh Approaches to Teaching Grammar, Usage, and Correctness.
