First and foremost, LAL is a writing contest for young readers in grades 4 - 12. How has an author's work--novel, nonfiction, poetry--changed your view of the world or yourself? That's the LAL writing challenge. Don't write a book report, we tell our young readers. The author already wrote the book and knows what it is about. What the author does not know is how YOU responded to his or her work. Write about that--your personal reader's response!
Interesting article on how e-books are changing. Uses new initiative by J.K. Rowling to extend and make Harry Potter series more interactive for readers. Very interesting story about new, low-cost biology text made to last a lifetime.
This is my burgeoning collection of videos and other resources envisioning the future of print. Know of any others I should add? If so, send me a link or add it to the comment area. Thanks! Scott McLeod
