@MrsVinje I wanted to let you know that I read "The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane" last week. It was good. Thanks for the recommendation and insistence that I read it! :)

[Aimee Rogers @Dr_Bookworm]

@MrsGuttormson I don't always trust my old lady brain, so I wasn't sure! :) I remember that I started reading it, but I don't think that I finished it...maybe one to go back to! #UNDTL528

@Miss_Burchill I felt like, in part, that I needed to start making that distinction as so many students want "outdated" CRF to become historical fiction, but it doesn't work like that. #UNDTL528

@CarleyNelson14 This list from Lee & Low Books might be a good starting point: https://t.co/Bz0f671t83

I'm going to be buying some off of this list as well! Not that I need more books! #UNDTL528

@CarleyNelson14 @abata228 Have you seen the biography in verse about Ezra Jack Keats? https://t.co/6WtiBpu4FP

@CarleyNelson14 I saw a bookmark recently that associated the playing of Minecraft with more future engineers and scientists. I really don't think that that is very far fetched! #UNDTL528

@MrsGuttormson I'd love to talk to you more about the seminar I just attended, but I need some more time to process my learning.:) I was really stunned at how much I didn't know! We were read a powerful piece about bystanders that will stay with me forever. #UNDTL528

[Aimee Rogers @Dr_Bookworm]

A3: Not as much as I should have/would have liked to, but I am hatching plans for future text sets/focused studies. Right now my mind is on ones about the Holocaust and/or bystanders because of my recent seminar. #UNDTL528

[Aimee Rogers @Dr_Bookworm]

@christinakowa17 Absolutely! I am not against teaching historical "facts," but I think that those facts become more meaningful when we have stories to attach them to. #UNDTL528

[Aimee Rogers @Dr_Bookworm]

A2: I truly believe that historical fiction should be integrated in all social studies/history curriculums. I believe that we, as a human race, are built on stories and we can learn more by learning the stories of others. #UNDTL528

[Aimee Rogers @Dr_Bookworm]

@MrsGuttormson THIS! #UNDTL528

[Aimee Rogers @Dr_Bookworm]

@brhenderson18 For quite a while "Rose Blanche" was out of print, but I recently saw that it is back in print, which is exciting! I would love to hear about how you use it in your classroom #UNDTL528

[Aimee Rogers @Dr_Bookworm]

@MrsGuttormson I have a lot more thinking to do about this, but I think that the bystanders approach is extremely powerful and so very relevant to today. I think that it can also be understandable to a wide variety of ages. Do you have any suggestions? #UNDTL528

[Aimee Rogers @Dr_Bookworm]

A4: Another great question and another which I will pay close attention to the answers. I really enjoy teaching about graphic novels as they are often the most misunderstood and unfamiliar. I love watching students become fans of the format! #UNDTL528

[Aimee Rogers @Dr_Bookworm]

@CarleyNelson14 @MrsGuttormson @CarleyNelson14 feel free to send me an email requesting some graphic novel titles for first grade. #UNDTL528

[Aimee Rogers @Dr_Bookworm]

A5: This is a great question! I'm going to pay close attention to the answers as it will help me shape future classes. For myself, even though I try to read widely, I need to do a better job of reading MORE widely. #UNDTL528

[Aimee Rogers @Dr_Bookworm]

@KreslJanel I haven't heard of these; I will have to look into them. #UNDTL528
