It was my desire to stretch and challenge Perry in the area of writing. I love this project because it is so 'real life' and helps to bring to light that writing has purpose and meaning, not just an assignment from a teacher. It is a great marriage of education and entertainment, making it both motivating for Perry to write and for others to read. Perry has been able to grow as a writer through this process, becoming more thoughtful, descriptive, and able to expand on his ideas. Through this, his patience has grown, allowing his love of writing to grow as well. It is my hope that this will inspire others to engage in similar creative pursuits.” Said Harris. “Working with Perry and collaborating with Ms. Harris on Perry’s movie reviews have been such a rewarding journey for me personally. I firmly believe that each Child has natural talents and so much potential. It could be creative writing, art, science, math, invention, and so on. It’s up to the parents and teachers to uncover and nurture these natural talents in their children and students so that they can unleash their creativity and let their imagination take flight.
