Creating community in a classroom is not an easy job as the Story Walking Trees has showed me. All students have different backgrounds, socioeconomic status's, beliefs, family values, learning styles, interests, hobbies, and personalities. The schools that Ralph Fletcher worked in were very diverse which made it more difficult sometimes to create a community in the classroom. I feel that in order to create a community among your classroom you need to keep a positive attitude and have faith in your students. A teacher should also not want students to be all the same and as they should embrace and learn from their differences. The one thing that Ralph Fletcher does in the book is that he is constantly trying to motivate his students by getting them excited about the writing process and letting them know they are free to write about what they want. In doing this, the class begins to form a common bond with one another by sharing their stories and learning they may even have similarities with each other. Ralph's students are enjoying this writing process and wanting to learn which is also creating a community in itself. The children begin to work together and from relationships by their writing and sharing of stories. If a teacher can get the class interested as a whole in a certain topic this is the first step in building a community among the classroom.
