I work for Scottish Book Trust and we’re running a survey for parents/teachers/kids book enthusiasts about how they find books for kids. I’d be enormously grateful if anyone can spare 5-10 mins to share their thoughts. #KidLitUK forms.office.com/e/EdVhWA0T0n

Life as a Ukrainian artist: at night you’re in hell — shaking, startled by explosions, unsure if you’ll live to see the morning. By day,you try to carry on like nothing happened — you create, go for walks, pretend life is normal... The night of May 24th was one of the worst. (Artwork from last year)

Catherine explains how to get students analyzing what they like—so they get better at analyzing what they don’t: edut.to/453ucT1 #CriticalThinking #ELATeacher #ITeachEnglish #MiddleSchool
“Critical analysis is an essential skill, and it’s something students do on their own naturally when it comes to topics they care about. But the goal isn’t just to teach students how to analyze what they like. It’s to help them wring meaning out of what they don’t.” —Catherine Cottingham, Educator
