What would that letter even SAY? But also, what did YOUR letter to that person say that caused them to answer that way? In this installment of Write. Right. Rite., Jason Reynolds prompts you to imagine what it would be like if LeBron James, your teacher, Beyoncé - whoever your hero or heroine is - wrote you back! In order to do that, you need to imagine the backstory. But since this is your own personal favorite hero or heroine, that's easy! You know exactly what you would have written, so now you can reply in the authentic voice of your personal inspiration. Go ahead, try it! And have fun imagining how your new correspondence would go. It'll be great, won't it!
Oh, yeah...Jason Reynolds's personal hero? Hmm, I'm not 100% sure, but in the video, he seems to have a soft spot for Langston Hughes, doesn't he?
