How are you doing with teaching non-fiction, informational texts? Do you feel you have a good grasp on expository text structures?

The popular proverb says to “Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer,” Oscar Wilde wrote “Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much”; the list of similar expressions could go on and on. And it’s likely safe to say that most of them bear some truth in them, considering that they’re prevalent to this day.

Getting paid to do your job sounds like a no-brainer. Right?! Unfortunately, things get very emotionally and ethically mucky when you work as a creative. Especially if you’re a freelancer. The sad reality is that some people expect you to do your job for free, for exposure, or for very little pay because you enjoy it.

Earlier this month, I shared a mnemonic I use with my 2nd and 3rd graders for teaching story elements. This mnemonic is part of a larger strategy called 'Picture It!,' developed by Victoria Naughton (2008). Each letter of S.T.O.R.Y. represents a story element, and students can use the graphic mnemonic for identifying and visualizing the common features of fiction texts. Learn more about this great strategy here! S.T.O.R.Y. Poem Many people make up a silly stories or poems to increase retention. I am one of those people. :) According to Brain Training 101's article How to Improve Your Memory, 'A mnemonic device, such

The world has its share of beautiful and ugly buildings. In the middle, there are ordinary and dull ones. And then, in a category entirely of their own, are the truly bizarre ones—the kind you need to see to believe.

It’s important not to judge a book by its cover, as people’s looks might not give away certain things that matter and making assumptions can be seriously detrimental.

Woman is shocked her brother's wife wants yet another child while she does not take care of the one she already has.

Let’s have a big round of applause for all the baristas out there who smilingly greet us grumpy in the mornings and send us off with a great start to the day, aka the morning cup of coffee, on which everything that waits ahead relies. Meetings, dates, calls, you name it.

Truth – a very subjective thing that the majority find hard to accept. Many spend their lives advocating for their beliefs but either get ridiculed or aren’t taken seriously, only to be proven to be correct when it’s way too late. Ever wondered who those people are? Well, today’s your lucky day!

You’re free to live your life as you please, so long as you’re not harming anyone. I stand by that statement because I believe that autonomy, the freedom of choice, and the ability to decide for ourselves what’s truly best for us are what separates civilization from chaos.

I’m fine with that. Some others? Not so much.
