Maybe Harvard needs to lend the head of the Department of Education an APA, MLA or some other writing manual. This was the letter that the Department of Ed sent Harvard. They marked it up, like any good professor or higher level of education school would do. They sent it back to her & then posted it on line. This is my level of petty.

AmyG I just saw this. I‘d cry if I wasn‘t laughing so much. 2w

MemoirsForMe @ncsufoxes @AmyG This post and Amy‘s comment made my day. 🙌🏻 2w

ncsufoxes I was just thinking about it too, do they not use Microsoft Word? I mean the editing tool on MSW would catch these mistakes & correct them. Either they were adamant about getting their point across & ignored the corrections or their assistant is just as incompetent. Glad to know the original letter will be entered into government archives 🤫 2w

DogMomIrene Hmm, looks like the Department of Education used that A1 Sauce to write their letter😂🤣 2w

dabbe @DogMomIrene 🤣🤣🤣 2w

Nonfiction Matters: Reading, Writing, and Research in Grades 3-8 | Stephanie Harvey

Last year my goal was to read at least two nonfiction books each month. I almost managed it, with just two months being a book or two short. This year I'd like to try again and this #MonthlyNonfiction2025 challenge sounds perfect to keep me on track! I'm interested in paying more attention to which section each book falls into, even if I don't hit them all.
Thanks @julieclair for putting this together!

julieclair I‘m impressed with your record from last year! And so happy that this challenge will be useful to you this year. Glad to have you with us! 😃 4mo

#Nonfiction2025 is here!

Around the world there seems to be unrest, division, and just generally unhappy populaces. So this year we will look at famous movements for change and of resistance, what drives people to push for change, why, and how.

🎶“Look what's happening out in the streets
Got a revolution, got to revolution”🎶

As always, this is a make it a way that works for you challenge, a little revolt is good for the soul after all ⤵️

Riveted_Reader_Melissa ↪️ and we do not all need/want the same from our reading. So Bingo, Four Squares, Coverall…. Whatever works for you. And you can pick a book specifically about the topic, someone related to, or any lightly connected book you want. Examples Below ⤵️ (edited) 5mo

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Earth Day and Climate Change books are plentiful, you can also read about individuals in the movement from Greta Thunberg, to Al Gore, to Bill Nye, but you can also read about nature, the earth, etc. 5mo

Riveted_Reader_Melissa March of the Mill Children was against Child Labor. Again, you can go straight to the topic, or a book that has children or about children, or a child‘s experience, or written by a child…there are some great books out there written by non-adults at the moment. 5mo

Riveted_Reader_Melissa You can be as creative as you like, if the topics bore you or pulls you down, use your imagination….not up for the People‘s Revolution… maybe Prince and the Revolution are more your mood. Please have fun with it. (edited) 5mo

Riveted_Reader_Melissa #Nonfiction2025Template 5mo

Riveted_Reader_Melissa If you need suggestions or to brainstorm ideas, just ask… the idea is to encourage a bit of nonfiction reading this year that‘s it. 5mo

ncsufoxes I love these prompts. My reading fell off last year & I‘m hoping to get back into my usual groove. I‘m a big non fiction reader 5mo

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @ncsufoxes I hope it helps you and inspires you to pick up a few nonfiction this year. (edited) 5mo

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @ncsufoxes my reading fell off really bad last year too, so I‘m also hoping to get my groove back 5mo

Singout Yes, yes, yes! Thank you for doing this again amidst your busy life and thank you for these amazing prompts! 5mo

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Singout You‘re very welcome, now find good books! 5mo

Deblovestoread I need this motivation to get to the NF on my shelf! 5mo

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Deblovestoread I hope it helps! We all need motivation sometimes 5mo

Singout Not to be a nitpicker, but aren‘t the Singing Revolution and Baltic Way about the same thing? Unless there‘s another Singing Revolution than what comes up quickly in my search? 5mo

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Singout same movement, different styles & dates. I believe one was more like Hands Across America back in the day and one Singing specifically. So more options for odd connections too. So similar to both lunch counter sit-ins, bus boycotts, and marches in the Civil Rights movement. I thought they both provided great connections for other reading choices & connections. 5mo

Riveted_Reader_Melissa ↪️ my examples are definitely a give away that I am an American, sorry about that 🫠 5mo

Singout You don't have to apologize for being American, we need as many Americans like you as we can get! *Looking nervously across Lake Ontario* 😬 5mo

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Singout 😂 I read my answer and thought, wow, that is a specific country history centric example list. 🫠 (edited) 5mo

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Singout there are a lot here, and we glance nervously around too. (edited) 5mo

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Lizpixie 4mo

Lizpixie Thank you! There‘s been a lot of revolution in my country too, especially around women‘s rights and Indigenous rights. Not to mention the rest of the world. America is definitely not the only country that‘s had idiots in power.✊ 4mo

MallenNC Thanks for doing this again! It will be interesting to see what I can match up with the prompts this time. Seems like a lot of options. 4mo

I realized I still needed to post my #Nonfiction2024 bingo card. Some of these are only lightly connected to the prompt but I did it! I always enjoy mixing nonfiction into my reading year.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Great job! And lightly connected is ok! 5mo

MallenNC @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Thanks! I always think I‘ll just do one bingo then I get ambitious. 😊 5mo
