I have talked too much and done too little. If you are like me and are ready to act, then perhaps you want to start where I did: discovering everything I don't know. New Blog post: When You are Ready to Act: Ten Things to Do

Why do we treat narrative, informational, and persuasive writing as distinct types of writing? It's a lie. Narrative undergurds all. Writing is a mix. Let's let students in on that secret.

@LibrarianEvans @KimChismJasper @JesseFields100 Those truly were the "good old days". Miss you all❣

[Dana @mandatoryfun]

@LibrarianEvans Oh Ethan! What a blessing you have been...my Oscar buddy. You have an old soul. I JUST had a 7th grader ask about the framed pics you and Jesse gifted me when I left. I used as an opp to discuss banned book week. Kids recognize you from the videos. Thank you for your words.

[Dana @mandatoryfun]

@KimChismJasper @nytopinion @JesseFields100 @EthanEvans15 Love it

[Dana @mandatoryfun]

@KimChismJasper @nytopinion "Inefficient & wonderful" reminds me of downtown Heers and my mom. Oh my heart. Not sure what we will become...

[Dana @mandatoryfun]

@KimChismJasper Thanks Kim...I will give it a look.
