Text Debriefing-Wilhelm

Wilhelm's book, You Gotta Be the Book, is definitely a good text for English 4800. Having read this book this semester I feel like I learned a lot useful ideas for the classroom. I was not familiar with the term "Reader Response" up until this course and I now doing my final project on this theory. It is very reader friendly and quick read.
I think each chapter serves a significant purpose for any individual seeking an English Education degree. I like how the author provides real life stories within the book instead of writing a book with facts and boring text. It made the book interesting to read and I learned a lot from it as well.
I am considering keeping this book as a resource for me to use throughout my teaching. I think it serves as a great reminder of things to use in the classroom and how we can use it as teachers. Even if I do not keep the book, I think this book is definitely something I can look back on and remember key concepts.
