Books that are written in verse can be more accessible to readers! Although it was jarring to me at first, I've grown to love reading books written in verse, and I often get through these books much faster.
Passing along this great list!

[Andrea Childes @LiteracyJunky]

April is national poetry month! I wanted to share some novel written in verse. I teach a poetry unit and when I tell my Ss that there are books that are written in verse and it’s a form of poetry their minds are blown. Let novels in verse spark a love of reading!

I first heard of @aidenschmaiden when I picked up a copy of Cemetery Boys back in December, and I've become a big fan.

Here's an article about his newest novel: Lost in the Never Woods!

What they don't tell you about being an English major in college is that you read so much for classes that it drains your desire to #read for pleasure in your free time too

THE THINGS THEY CARRIED by Tim O'Brien. Very perspective-altering.

I read it for the first time when I was 16, and it changed how I understood war, trauma, memory, and #storytelling in general.

[Goodreads @goodreads]

What was the last book you recommended to a friend?

[mclmatters @mclmatters]

10 minutes until the next webinar: "'Fake News' and the First Amendment, hosted by @UDaytonLaw.

They'll be answering the question: Can “fake news” be banned under existing First Amendment precedents? Should it be banned as a matter of public policy?

[mclmatters @mclmatters]

A student in the private Q&A session with @deray explained that this information is all very new for them and asked for further resources to continuing learning.

I am always open that I am still learning, and I will always be learning. It was a great question!
