While I found the explanation of the “Book Talk“ extremely helpful in understanding how to help students develop a love for reading, I was particularly struck by the section discussing how to use it for writing. Last semester, there was a focus on Mentor Texts, and while I was able to see how they could be used on a larger scale, I was still left confused on how it would work in practice. Kittle's explanation and annotation guide eased the worry!
I read a wide range of genres, but I‘d have to pick narrative nonfiction. I do so love a well-written nonfiction account that educates me about a person, event or topic while entertaining me at the same time.

so-soTara Westover and her family grew up preparing for the End of Days, but,according to the government,she didn't exist.She hadn't been registered for a birth certificate.She had no school records because she'd never set foot in a classroom,and no medical records because her father didn't believe in hospitals. At 16, Tara knew she had to leave home.
Made it to a cafe with hubby for “us” time
A friend recovering from surgery asked me to pick up some audiobooks from the library - my choice! I have read Educated and the Doerr (no idea if she has) - does anyone want to chime in support for the other two? I have Born a Crime on hold - which is my favorite audio of all time that I recommend. Photo to help me remember! (Otherwise, slim pickings.
“I don‘t want you to be safe ideologically. I don‘t want you to be safe emotionally. I want you to be strong. That‘s different. I‘m not going to pave the jungle for you. Put on some boots, and learn how to deal with adversity. I‘m not going to take all the weights out of the gym; that‘s the whole point of the gym. This is the gym.” - Van Jones

pickA seminal & important work. So important I had to check it out from the library to read & listen to it simultaneously after having already listened to it once. I‘ve gone & purchased a hard copy too.
I‘m not looking for a gold star; I‘m looking to mine all the gold I can from Freire because American‘s are under exigent circumstances.
This is not a test! Education is under attack. The oppressive regime is here. Read. Educate yourself. Prepare.
