If you have ever read the book The Chocolate War by Robert Cormier, you will instantly recognize that the name of this blog is taken from his quote "Do I dare disturb the universe?" In the story, this quote is on a poster that hangs inside one of the main character, Jerry's, school locker. I hate to say "this book is about" because I didn't write it, so I can't tell you what you were supposed to take away from it, but I feel that this book challenges students to think about their actions; to analyze peer pressure.
This blog is for my reading education class and other posts will be mostly about different ways to teach children to read. I wanted to start the first post, however, with a challenge to my readers: think about what you read. Think about the books you place in your future students' hands. Give them something to read that will cause their minds to kick into overdrive.
