Letters from Pearl Harbor

The Land of Nod

They say you can't go home again, but Louisa Banks is determined to try. Intent on caring for her brother's two teenagers while he is away in jail, she returns to the family farm in West Virginia. It is a difficult homecoming, made worse by crash and burn memories and self-induced poverty. Still she preservers, and eventually becomes involved in small town politics and a militant Ganga grower who moonlights as writer. This explosive combination pushes her to her limits and yet results in self-discovery and a new direction. Hers is a story that boomerangs back on itself and meets the reader head on.

The Coming of Cain

Christine Walsh

When readers and writers of all ages are supported socially, emotionally, and academically in their reading and writing processes, they acquire a sense of agency over text, and suddenly they begin to see reading in a different light. They begin to value reading more as a life skill, one that can change the way they act and think, and maybe even change the way they live. The Online Reading Conversation Journal offers teachers a practical teaching tool for creating engaged, independent readers who can make these connections.

It Remains to be Seen

In this book you will read many examples of rich literacy conversations between a teacher and his 8th grade students that never would have occurred face to face in the classroom. These conversations take place online when 8th graders write to their teacher about the books they’re interested in reading and choosing to read independently. Students write about what happens when they read or don’t read, how they feel about reading, how they’re connecting with characters and ideas, why they don’t have enough time to read, and what their reading goals are. And their teacher writes back to them. Every week. After each conversation you will read some “meta-talk” that shines a light on what the conversation has taught us about this language learner and how this “data”is informing our beliefs and practices. Embedded within the chapters are suggested resources (articles, book recommendations, links, websites, blogs, etc.) you can follow should you want to read more in that chapter. What these students reveal about their own literacy development- their successes, their challenges, their lives- and how their teacher nudges them along socially, emotionally and academically, teach us the value and power of one practical, authentic literacy tool- the Reading Conversation Journal.
