Minnesota legislators have been considering a law that would prohibit cell phones in elementary and middle schools and restrict them in high schools. Part of that push comes from educators who are concerned that student attention span is negatively affected by chronic smartphone use.In many English classrooms across the U.S., assignments to read full-length novels are becoming less common, according to the National Council of Teachers of English. It's a result of the perception that students have a shorter attention span and less interest in reading the assigned novels.MPR News host Nina Moini talked with one educator grappling with all this. Mady Vukson teaches English language arts and creative writing at Humboldt High School in St. Paul.
DISCIPLESHIP COURSE|STUDY OF THE WORDS AND LIFE OF JESUS IN SYNOPTIC GOSPEL |UPGRADE |CHIMDI OHAHUNA Welcome to another enlightening episode of, The Words of Jesus on the Gracelifecomi Podcast! In this compelling study, we deeply explore the transformative power of Scripture and the vital role it plays in our spiritual journey. Temptation has a unique ability to reveal what lies within us, and it is through our understanding of the Word that we can navigate life's challenges with grace and strength. Join us as we unpack the profound truth that even Jesus, the incarnate Word of God, took time to study the Scriptures. This episode emphasizes that no matter how seasoned we may feel in our faith, the necessity of continually engaging with the Bible is paramount. We examine the idea that our ability to perform in life is directly tied to our knowledge base; without informed understanding, we risk rendering ourselves vulnerable to self-redeeming practices that lead to unnecessary bondage. Throughout this study, we'll be reminded of how Jesus diligently studied the Law to perfectly fulfill it, setting an example for us all to follow. By immersing ourselves in the written Word, we become equipped to recognize what Christ has redeemed us from and the prophecies He has fulfilled. This knowledge can liberate us from the entrapments that complicate our Christian walk, and address the common sentiment among many believers that Christianity feels overwhelmingly difficult. Discover also the essence of how our vocabulary reflects our spiritual intake over time and how the end-time move of God is not about quick fixes, but rather about Christ being formed within us. The journey of spiritual growth requires intentionality — we must keep reading, keep seeking, and continually fill our souls with the Word of God. When life squeezes us, what will we have to offer? It's a question we aim to answer together. As we wrap up, listeners will be encouraged to make a deliberate effort to immerse themselves in Scripture, highlighting that the richness of the Word is what sustains us in difficult times. Tune in, open your hearts, and prepare to be equipped with the tools to deepen your faith walk. Let's embark on this journey of discovery through the power of the Word together! Kindly share your feedback and questions with us, and if you find solace and strength in our podcast, please consider supporting us through our giving channels. Please see all the details on our website. Any questions arising from this study can be submitted to chimdiohahunaministry@gmail.com, check our bio to know how to give your love offerings to the ministry.

Historically Thinking: Conversations about historical knowledge and how we achieve it
Today's guest in our series of conversations on intellectual humility and historical thinking is Leah Shopkow, Professor of History at Indiana University in Bloomington. She is a historian of the Middle Ages, specifically of medieval France, and she began her career by studying the history written by medieval chroniclers, which led to her book History and Community: Norman Historical Writing in the Eleventh and Twelfth Centuries. Since then she has also edited one of those historical texts, William of Andres' The Chronicle of Andres. Interest in medieval historiography morphed, naturally or unnaturally depending on your point of view, into an interest in the pedagogy of history. She has written numerous articles on the topic, and was the founding co-director and the principal investigator of the History Learning Project at Indiana University. Most recently she has combined both of these interests in her book The Saint and the Count: A Case Study for Reading Like a Historian, which she and I discussed in Episode 203 of this podcast. For Further Investigation For more on the moves–or dispositions–of historical thinking, go to our series on historical thinking.

Canning has worked for more than 15 years as a magazine and book editor, encouraging each writer's individual voice and strengthening their writing goals. She always planned to write a book. Then she had kids. While she focused on them, she stopped writing—for six years. Something deep inside was missing. Depression, anxiety, and anger forced her to search for herself, both for her sake and her family's.Despite fearing her skills had atrophied, Erin started writing again. One journal entry led to one blog post that led to her creating her podcast, Parents Who Write. Erin's current role as a podcaster and writing coach enables her to help others pursue their writing dreams.Finally, she finished writing her own shitty first draft and will release her first novel in 2023.

Teachers often struggle with students who don't have the motivation, skills and strategies to activate their extended writing and start taking risks. This is where it is important for teachers to support a rehearsal process. What is Quick Writing?It's a quick-to-use tool to free the writer's mind, to help them learn how to craft writing and to give it a go, once, twice, reflect ... and again. It puts them in the driver's seat and gives independent opportunity. It moves the student into trying it out rather than being involved in extensive joint constructions and shared experiences.Sharon and Phil talk about the six pillars of Quick Writes:You've got this; keep writingAnything you write is rightYour mind is a deep well of ideas; so is lifeMake sense, or not. Improve it later, or notEvery quick write is an amazing experimentSharing lets your words sit upon our earsAnd much more!Resources mentioned in this episode:TEACHIFIC Quick Write PromptsQuick Writes: Good Writer Mini Lessons A3 Flip Chart (new)Reading Like a Writer - beginningsWriter's Notebook/Journal - coverYOUTUBEQuick Write Video - A teacher at Kaurna Plains School explains the process in her classroomJOIN SHARON CALLEN'S NEXT WEBINAR!'Reading Like a Writer: Teaching Information Writing' - Yrs 2-6, with Sharon Callen14 August 2021, 10-11.30am Adelaide time (One 1.5 hour workshop)This unique, practical webinar with Sharon and Phil Callen is for motivated Years 2-6 teachers and leaders of literacy who want 'hands on' ways to enrich the teaching of information writing through the Reading Like a Writer framework.

For many teachers, it's a challenge to help students go beyond the ordinary, featureless writing and vast amounts of copying that can come with informational texts. In reality, informational texts are engaging and masterfully crafted to guide the reader through the rich array of features incorporated into these texts. So, to be inspired by these features, to understand how they work, how to read them (improving comprehension!!) their purpose and how to recreate them, we begin the journey to reading like a writer.Sharon first explored this notion through the use of many of ERA publications' big books. These big books provided the perfect platform for reading like a writer as a class, to explore the features of these texts and the way the information was presented. Doing this shifted students away from low level (frequently copied) text only texts, to far more sophisticated informational texts loaded with features. The most significant outcome was students transforming what they had learned into an array of text features, rather than just slabs of text only. Copying text virtually became redundant.In this episode, Sharon and Phil talk about:Why? It improves the readership.It improves transformation of knowledge learned into sophisticated presentations of new understandings It improves comprehension of all overall text when the purpose of text features is apparentInformational texts are potentially rich resources for learning about the worldPhil and Sharon talk about this, as well as:What informational text features areTeaching with informational text activitiesWhat aspects of informational texts to teach, and whenAnd much more!Resources mentioned in this episode:ERA PUBLICATIONSEra Publications: Picture BooksTEACHIFIC Tally Charts: Non-Fiction Text FeaturesInfo Sheet: Features of Non-Fiction Texts - ExplanationsInfo Sheets: Writing TemplatesWriting Templates: Explanation TextsWriting Templates: Timeline 1Writing Templates - variousReading Like a Writer: BeginningsBOOKTOPIAA Seed is Sleepy by Dianna AstonDK Eyewitness Books: Ancient China by DK PublishingThe Street Beneath My Feet by Charlotte GullianAMAZON‘Reading the Whole Page: Teaching and Assessing Text Features to Meet K-5 Common Core Standards' by Nicki Clausen Grace and Michelle KelleyCAPSTONELEAP: Little Books With Attitude non fiction for 5,6 year olds by Sharon Callen (12 Big Books and 36 matching little books)TEACHER'S TOOLKIT FACEBOOK GROUPDo you have informational texts that have worked in your classroom to share?

Writing Children's Fiction. Episode 9. What does it mean to read as a writer, and how can a surprisingly simple aspect of writing help create a more interesting story? All content created by creative writing lecturer and children's author A. P. Winter.
Turns out books, not diamonds, are a girl's best friend. Marilyn Monroe: actress, singer, blonde bombshell, and … avid reader. In 1999, Marilyn Monroe's personal library was auctioned, and in 2010 the list of books was published online. People were surprised at her big collection of American literature, French classics, modern plays, poetry, books on religion and spirituality … the list goes on. So last month, I chose three books from Marilyn's shelf and decided to read them. What did I discover? Well, you'll have to listen to find out. Hope you enjoy! As always, a full transcription of the episode is available on my website, Angourie's Library. PLUS EXTRA GOODIES FOR YOU TO CHECK OUT!

You're a writer, so you write. But do you read? Silly question, I know, because of course you read. A better question is how do you read? Do you read like a writer? There are ways writers can read that can be both inspiring and instructive, and that's what we're going to cover today, so you can see how reading, as Stephen King says, can serve as your "creative center." As we learn to read like a writer, you might be a little afraid I'm going to ruin reading for you—that you'll no longer be able to read for pleasure, but don't worry. You'll still be able to read for fun and distraction. You can listen, read, or watch to learn more. https://youtu.be/cHaeAOVodaQ Read to Collect Ideas for Your Work If you want to read like a writer, you'll benefit from reading with an analytical eye, but before we get into that, the first way to read as a writer is to go ahead and read for inspiration and information, just like you always do. You need to understand a topic better, so you research and read about it. You want to expand your knowledge, so you read and take notes. You want to improve yourself, so you grab a book that's going to help you gain a skill or solve a problem. We writers are always collecting ideas and content. All that you read can feed into your writing. In fact, we've done this our entire lives. If not consciously then subconsciously, we've been doing all this collecting. Now I want you to be more intentional about it. Even as you're casually reading the back of a cereal box, a tweet, or a magazine article, start to take notes about where this content came from, who wrote it, and how it impacted you, because this is material that you can use in all of your work. Authors Are Your Teachers Another big way we can read as writers is to start viewing other authors and writers as teachers. They can instruct us. Francine Prose in her book Reading Like a Writer said this: I've heard the way a writer reads described as "reading carnivorously." What I've always assumed that this means is not, as the expression might seem to imply, reading for what can be ingested, stolen or borrowed, but rather for what can be admired, absorbed, and learned. It involves reading for sheer pleasure, but also with an eye and a memory for which author happens to do which thing particularly well. So we read and pay attention to the choices an author makes that results in such engaging work. In literature, especially in poetry courses, we talk about a "close reading," where every idea, every sentence—even every word—is examined. A close reading reveals all: from the highest level of themes, ideas, organization, and structure all the way down to the details of sentences and word choices. We see what works and why it works. And while we do want to look to the best to be able to level up our work, we don't have to always be reading Shakespeare and Dickinson to improve as writers. Our teachers, our model texts, can be from the kinds of writing we want to pursue. We might find a blog post that serves as an excellent example and study the tone and topics that were covered as well as the length and the layout. And we can learn from that. So find your experts, your teachers, your models, your mentors...wherever they may be. Read Close by Annotating Another way we can read like a writer is to annotate. Mortimer Adler in his book How to Read a Book, written with Charles van Doren, wrote this: Full ownership of a book only comes when you have made it a part of yourself and the best way to make yourself a part of it, which comes to the same thing, is by writing in it. He claims that full ownership of a book happens not when you purchase it. It happens when you interact with it on the page. You annotate, you underline, you write in the margins, and in that way you make it your own. And the book becomes a part of you. But let me tell you something: I grew up in a household where we did not write...

Hey there word nerds! Today I have the pleasure of welcoming Mark Mayer to the show. Mark is an author and has an MFA from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, where he was a Michener-Copernicus Fellow, and holds a PhD from the University of Denver. He was also the Robert P. Dana Emerging Writer-in-Residence at Cornell College’s Center for the Literary Arts from 2012-2014. His stories have appeared in American Short Fiction, Kenyon Review, Guernica, Colorado Review, and Mid-American Review. Mark’s debut is a short story collection titled Aerialists, in which classic circus figures become ordinary misfits seeking grandeur in a lonely world. In this collection, Mark examines familiar tropes—like the strongman, the elephant keeper, the clowns—and reinterprets these myths by placing them in everyday contemporary life. So listen in as Mark and I chat about this amazing book and how to gain a deeper understanding of a story by falling into its world over and over again. In this episode Mark and I discuss: The intimacy of a short story. Creating a unique reading experience in your writing. How to use the theme of your book as a marketing tool the right way. Advice on how to approach short stories of literary fiction as a reader. How to use language and imagery to anchor readers in your story. Plus, Mark’s #1 tip for writers.

When you want to write, you often hear the advice that you should analyze when you read. This has some validity. If you want to be able to write well, it is good to study good writing. My issue with this advice is that it only takes into account half of the picture. Most writers seem to fall into the rules of writing, but they do not always talk about the part of writing that goes beyond understanding (or, at least, seems to go beyond understanding). In this episode, I talk about the value of reading like a reader.

Episode 151: Reading Like a Writer - How Critical Reading Informs the Writing Process The dragons kick off the new year with an episode for writers. There's much (and somewhat prescriptive) opinion on how much you should read in order to be a functional writer. But what if you just don't read very fast or have a disadvantage that makes it difficult? Does that count you out of the running? Jules and Madeleine take a look at what 'reading like a writer' really means before branching out into how reading different genres and challenging yourself with media you wouldn't normally consume, all adds value to your creativity. Spoiler - you don't have to finish 100s of books a year. You don't have to enjoy the classics. You already have everything you need, here's how to recognise it. (Sidebar, when Jules says how many books she's read, she means in 2018 - not even she is that fast!) Title Music: Ecstasy by Smiling Cynic

One of Mrs. Spencer's favorite topics, this week Mrs. Larson and Mrs. Spencer share personal experiences coupled with strategies for our young writers on how to read with the purpose of enhancing writing. This week focuses on how to read like a writer. If you have no idea what this means, you have to listen in to hear the difference between how we typically read and how we can improve our writing by focusing on how the professionals do it. Writing is a process, a difficult one, no less, but when we turn to the professionals, we have a lot to learn.
