    My book would fall under the subgenre of realistic fiction. This is because there was nothing in the book that couldn't happen in real life. The only thing that made it fiction was that it really never happened. I would recommend this book to the person beside me. I think she would enjoy it because all the drama and surprise. -Autumn Johnson

I wasn't even aiming for it; I was throwing it at a kid. But when I hit it, i

As the school year settles into full swing and I find myself more and more immersed in the planning, creating, assessing, and reevaluating of the daily flow of my lessons, I start to feel the pressure of feedback building up on me. I know that the value of learning in my gradeless classroom is much higher than it used to be. I believe that the feedback I give my students is making them into more successful ELA students. But there are so many days I look at the towering pile of work that requires feedback, and I just feel completely inadequate. There are not enough hours, not enough patience, not enough me to go around for all of them. Some days it feels like it would just be so much easier to give a ten-question multiple choice test, run it on the Scantron or through Schoolnet, and call it good. I think these things in my moments of weakness, but I know that I could never be satisfied with that type of assessment for the deep learning I want to happen in my classroom. I know that stu
