We finished reading and annotating Eraser Tattoo today. I haven’t had this much fun discussing a short story with students in a long time!

At the end of the story, my students were desperate to find out what happens to Dante and Shay. Do they do a long distance relationship? Break up and never see each other again? Our annotations and class discussion had students thinking they broke up for good.

So, why not ask the author?

Today, a few students wrote to Jason Reynolds to share their love of Eraser Tattoo and get some answers!
