In the author's effort to find out more about how "English Journal" articles have led to meaningful changes, he asked several teachers to write about "an "English Journal" article that made a difference." Several council members write about influential articles they read in the pages of NCTE's century-old journal. The brief stories they tell capture the way in which, year after year, decade after decade, the right article in the hands of the right person at the right time has shaped the profession.
