Getting Ready for February 16th

We're gathering up resources for the February 16th discussion on Adventures in Nonfiction (see details here). We'll have handouts and a display of recommended books available at the event, plus virtual displays and links afterwards.

Here is a sneak peek:

• From Rebecca Rupp: All the resources you could ever need for getting kids writing - from the basics of stories to the craft of bookmaking. Rebecca even includes a section on books with characters who write. Check out her resource list here (and of course you can order any of these books from www.bearpondbooks.com)
• From Tanya Lee Stone: Passionate Nonfiction Challenges Teens to Think
• Also from Tanya: A Fine, Fine Line - Truth in Nonfiction

Rebecca will have a handout on the 16th. It's a long one so we're also posting it here. If you have trouble getting this link to open, e-mail helen.labun.jordan @ gmail.com to have it sent as an attachment.

Here is a very early sneak peek:

• On April 6th, we'll host author Linda Urban with her new book The Center of Everything. We know from Linda's 9/15 talk that this book is going to do interesting things with point of view. So check out Linda's thoughts on Point of View in this blog post, then take a scroll through the  Point of View section in Rebecca's resources . . . and of course mark your calendar for April 6th at 11:00 am.
