Summary: A ReflectiveTeacher's Guide
Comment: Nonfiction Matters by Stephanie Harvey is a great book that not only gives teachers great ideas on how to teach nonfiction writing, but also on how to learn along with the students by inquiring about real things in life anyone of them might have an interest in.
I recommend this book to any teacher who is willing to take the challenge and transform her / his classroom into what every classroom in the world should be. Teachers will find new incentives to motivate their students along with simple economic ideas that will get their students writing passionate, interesting nonfiction papers everyone will want to read.

Summary: *How* to write papers
Comment: When I was in school, we were told to write papers, but were never really taught *how* to develop one. We were told *what* to do -- make an outline, write the paper, and revise it -- but that didn't help me figure out *how* to do any of these things.

Now my daughter is in third grade and I'm trying to help her learn how to write. Our first use of the book helped us capture and explore what she learned on a museum trip. I was really impressed with the resulting report. It was focused, full of real content, and had a delightful narrative style. We even used wondering questions to help us focus further inquiry.

This book is a must-have for anyone interested in life-long learning.

Summary: Allowing Non-Fiction back into the ELA Curriculum and Beyond
Comment: This book provides research and practice on using non-fiction sources for authentic literary products. The traditional research project is reshaped into a meaningful, student-centered outcome. I've also attended Harvey's conference in conjunction with the book and recommend her book, and any other works that she creates, as useful and invigorating for all subject/level teachers.
