Ted Dekker

Throughout December, tenth graders were busy reading Saint, by Ted Dekker. The book practically read itself! Students came in so excited to talk about what happened to Carl and the X-Group. We learned about suspense authors, like Edgar Allen Poe, and what the similarities are between his writing and Dekker’s. We read the famous poem The Raven. One student rapped its words for the class, while another student gave him a beat, giving a new life to old words. The students saw how pursuing excellence in a craft is respectable, even if it is in a different form than they are used to.
