From Seed to Sense: Model Sentences from Barbara Kingsolver

My introduction to the work of Barbara Kingsolver was teaching The Poisonwood Bible to my AP Literature students in East Los Angeles. My students were first-generation Latinos and they LOVED the book. They related to and had comments and opinions about the themes presented in the book. But what they really loved was HOW Kingsolver wrote. Her prose is poetic, insightful, and approachable. A master storyteller and writer who is appreciated and respected by high school students and literati alike.
