Great interview with professor Myra Zarnowski of Queens College about nonfiction and the Common Core state standards. I.N.K. (Interesting Non-Fiction for Kids) is a great blog by non-fiction authors...a good one to follow!

In this great post, the author shares ideas from a webinar produced by an education department in Maine. It includes some great ideas about integrating social media, and ties it to the common core. Twitter, blogs, and more!

THIS is must use. Created by CCSS authors. The three sections of the site are titled "steal these tools," "you've got to read this" and "by teachers for teachers." That alone had me running, not walking, to check this site out.

Looking for non-fiction texts for your classroom because you know you need to incorporate more of them in your teaching? This is a great place to start.
