WEMA- CAndace Flemming- Just the Facts Ma'am: Everything I write is True
Biographies- The subjects become members of the family. Ben Franklin was fun to have around, Eleanor was more difficult to live up to. Looks for little facts that are interesting and that make the people more personable to kids. So they can relate to.
Went to a ceremony for FDR at the library she was at and ended up meeting a personal friend of Eleanor and got invited over to eat there and got a wonderful amount of personal stories.
Reading Mrs. Uldrich- Boxes For Katie, fiction has a nugget of truth, story based upon her mother.
Muncha Muncha Muncha- based on real life experiences of trying to get the rabbits out of the garden. Sequel to this book is Tibby Tibby Tibby Hide! which is based on a 3rd grade experience. Then there is the third one- asking the kids for ideas for what to do. A 3rd grader said "take them on vacation, he has to get away to the beach, but..."
Eavesdropping- getting lots of ideas from listening to others.

Reading- need new types of reading strategies for nonlinear texts. Many are very distributed. Things are not all in one place or tied up with a bow. So we ned to think of reading in a new way.
