20th class reunion
This document appears to be from a class reunion survey of the 1990 graduating class. It includes sections for each class member from 1990 and 2010. However, most of the answers are blank, as the class members did not respond to the survey questions about their favorites, families, careers and memories from high school and the present day. It seeks to catch up with members of the 1990 graduating class 20 years later but little information was provided in the responses.

Author notebook
This document provides tips for organizing a research notebook, including using dividers and labels to categorize information, highlighting important details, and adding visual elements like borders, colors and graphics to labels. Proper documentation of sources is also recommended, either directly on the page near the information or on adjacent pages. Sample pages show organizing activities by relevant content standards and including materials like handouts, pictures, biographies and annotated/non-annotated lists.
Key Ideas From Chapter 10
Children turn to nonfiction literature to learn facts and concepts. Nonfiction presents facts and concepts primarily, while fiction focuses more on storytelling. Most library collections are 60-70% nonfiction works. For nonfiction to be accurate, it must clearly distinguish facts from theories and present significant facts and differing viewpoints. The organization and presentation of content affects the value of nonfiction. Good nonfiction is clearly organized with a logical progression of comprehensible concepts.
Using Nonfiction In The Classroom
The document discusses the benefits of using nonfiction texts in the classroom. It states that exposing students to informational texts helps develop important reading and study skills, such as gathering and organizing information, synthesizing learning, and determining facts versus opinions. It also outlines strategies for using nonfiction texts before, during, and after reading, such as activating background knowledge, locating information, summarizing, and applying what was learned. Some challenges of informational texts are discussed, such as students having insufficient prior knowledge of topics and texts using dense writing styles. Effective read-alouds of nonfiction are recommended, including selecting engaging topics, preparing thoroughly, and providing introductions to build context.
Biograph1
This document defines biography and its relationship to historical fiction. It discusses the different approaches to writing biography, including authentic, fictionalized, and biographical fiction. It also outlines different forms of biography based on how much of the subject's life is covered, such as complete, partial, or collective biographies. Finally, it evaluates important elements of biographical writing like subject, accuracy, balance, style, and theme. It also notes some special characteristics of autobiography compared to biography.
Historical Fiction
Historical fiction is a genre of storytelling that is set in the past and seeks to recreate the spirit of that era through its characters, events, ways of life, and culture. The time period portrayed is central to the story. Historical fiction can overlap with other genres like historical fantasy or mysteries. It complements biographies by providing context about the time period, while biographies enrich understanding of specific individuals. Historical fiction developed from the romantic movement of the early 19th century and appeals to a desire to escape the present. More recent historical fiction attempts to reassess and understand the past rather than glorify it. Good historical fiction tells a compelling story, authentically captures the flavor of the historical period, and uses history faith
Chapter8 Key Ideas
Historical fiction tells imaginative stories grounded in factual history. It shows that history is shaped by individual human experiences and connects present people to the past through shared humanity. The best historical fiction is written by storytellers familiar with the facts of a time period but not restricted by them, and details of setting and language must accurately portray the historical context. Reading historical fiction can help children understand they are part of an ongoing historical narrative.
Make Way For Ducklings
The document provides background information about the children's book "Make Way for Ducklings" by Robert McCloskey. It includes definitions of key geographic terms used in the story such as pond, river, bank, hill, and island. It also defines economic terms like goods and services. The document suggests making a web to identify the physical setting and economic characteristics of Boston, which is the location of the story.
Ghost Eye
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
Picture Books
The document discusses picture books and their illustrations. It begins by defining different types of picture books such as those where text and pictures are equally important, illustrated books where text is primary, and wordless picture books. It then discusses the key elements of illustrations including line, space, shape, color, texture, composition and perspective. Specific techniques like illusion are also mentioned. The document also covers common story types found in picture books, important narrative elements, and social considerations.
