The Things You Can Read: New Page: Teaching the Short Story

The Things You Can Read welcomes you and thanks you for your readership. We, here at The Things You Can Read, ask your help, if you visit our site regularly, please follow us either via email or Google Friend Connect. Launched on June 7, 2012, our site has already attracted a great deal of attention. One of the goals of the site is to feature reviews of Children's Picture Books, Young Adult novels and Adult Literary Fiction/Nonfiction. A second goal for the blog is to be a resource for teachers of English and writing--with examples of student created writing, writing tips, resource links, and the opportunity to pick the brain of a seasoned English teacher. To spice things up...every now and then, we'll also include random quotes and thoughts on education and life in general, but our ultimate goal is to reach out into the blogosphere and be a "Book Whisperer" and "Writing Whisperer" to children and adults of all ages. Thank you for your readership. Here is to a lifetime filled with reading and writing.

New Page: Teaching the Short Story

Checkout our new page:

Teaching the Short Story: Thank You Ma'am by Langston Hughes, All Summer in a Day by Ray Bradbury. Although this is still a work in process there are some excellent teaching resources, which have already been added to aid teachers and home schoolers in teaching these two short stories. If you are looking for additional resources to teach story elements such as plot, visit our Elements of Fiction and Teacher Resources page. Stop by and visit our newest page and let us know what you think here at The Things You Can Read.

Happy reading to all! ☮
