SOL 3/20 A Slice from the Literature Festival
20 of 31 for the Slice of Life Challenge from Two Writing Teachers Yesterday I traveled to Warrensburg, MO with my oldest to the Literature Festival. She was so proud that she made it again this year...and was the first in our school to read all of the required books to qualify to go! As a language arts teacher, I usually try to read as many of the Mark Twain award nominees as possible so I can recommend them to students, but I have really slacked this year for some reason. Finding time to read anything is difficult, even though I love curling up with a book (or Nook or my tablet) to read. I have truly appreciated the many slicers who have posted reading recommendations, and my pile of books to read has grown exponentially. John Green is my current go-to author-- A Fault in our Stars . Next up is Paper Towns or Looking for Alaska. I love his use of vocabulary and writes with humor and wit, which I appreciate. I hope my students would appreciate that as well....
