I highly recommend this work of #HistoricalFiction by Brianna Labuskes. Three storylines--in the 1910s, 1920s, and 1930s--intersect as the pieces of a thrilling mystery come together. In all three threads, books shape lives and save them. @wmmorrowbooks.bsky.social

"All students have the right to learn about, explore, develop, and experience a wide range of their own human, critical, and creative capacities to write." #ELA #writing #HigherEd #AI www.insidehighered.com/opinion/view...

Students have a right to write in an AI era (opinion)

In an age of generative AI, Jonathan Alexander explains why it is important to introduce students to as many forms of writing as possible.

I just read GATHER by Kenneth M. Cadow. It deserves every award and honor it has received--e.g , @whippoorwillaward.bsky.social. Its protagonist, Ian, reminds me of someone @jeffzentner.bsky.social might have created, which is a compliment to both authors. Highly recommend. #YALit #AdolLit

I just read SONG OF FREEDOM, SONG OF DREAMS by @sharigreen.bsky.social, a #VerseNovel and work of #HistoricalFiction set in East Germany in 1989. The title is perfect in so many ways; and the "Author's Note" and "Acknowledgments" are as beautiful as the book's poems. #YALit #AdolLit

I just read A SECOND CHANCE ON EARTH, a #VerseNovel by Juan Vidal. What a terrific tale of triumph over, and through, grief; a celebration of friends and dads and extended family; and a tribute to culture and literature and language. #YALit #AdolLit

I just read EYES OPEN by @lynmillerlachmann.bsky.social, a beautiful #VerseNovel. I like #HistoricalFiction that subtly teaches me something I didn't know (here, revolts again dictatorship in Portugal in the late '60s) via realistic characters caught up in historical events. #YALit #AdLit

I just read REZ BALL by @byrongraves.bsky.social. It was named a Whippoorwill Award honor book for 2024. Smooth interweaving of northern MN rurality, Ojibwe culture, sports, video gaming, grief, and other elements of adolescent life. #AdolLit #YALit

I just read WHERE THE HEART SHOULD BE, a Kirkus-starred #VerseNovel by @sarahcrossan.bsky.social It's a compelling work of #HistoricalFiction with a clever title that works both literally and figuratively. #AdLit #YALit #Kirkus

I'm reading READING YOUNG ADULT LITERATURE from @broadviewpress.bsky.social. In the first chapter on the development of adolescence as a construct, Carrie Hintz and Eric L. Tribunella provide a great foundation for understanding how adolescent literature came to be. #AdLit #YALit #MGLit #ELA

It's funny that I, who grew up in the very Scandinavian upper Great Plains, am transported so quickly back to my childhood by the kitchen smells of homemade ... pizza. #MomMadeIt #SoDoI 🍕
