Rukshana Khan visits our school!
Rukshana Khan shared her book, Roses in my Carpet with us. She also gave us some great advice about writing. She said, "The key to being a good author is to imagine what it feels like to be someone else...to know all of their prejudices and beliefs, likes and dislikes...This took me 10 years to figure out." Think about this in our poetry...the voice of the poem, the perspective of the poem. Please visit her website at:http://www.rukhsanakhan.com/
