TeacherScribe: clickbait
http://teacherscribe.blogspot.com/2015/07/clickbait.html
What I Want to Read Next. Wednesday, July 29, 2015. Thanks to a former student of mine who I saw this morning while refueling my car, I have learned a new word. Clickbait, apparently, is when you have a status on Facebook that is inflammatory (guilty as charged with my previous post where I used a quote from Gary Paulson) to get people to click on your link, which, in this case, took you to my previous post which was a playful jab at the MN dentist who killed a popular lion on safari. Whenever I read one...

TeacherScribe: My Writing
http://teacherscribe.blogspot.com/p/my-writing.html
What I Want to Read Next. Any writing teacher worth a damn knows this is true: the best writing teachers write themselves. I don't know if I picked that up from Donald Murray, Ken Macrorie, Tom Romano, or someone else. But it's absolutely essential. So here's some of what I've written over the years. You will find a mixture of poetry, non fiction, creative non-fiction, fiction, and - sometimes - all of them woven together into one piece. Meeting Myrtle: A Memoir. I Stand in Awe Before Love. I blogged a l...

TeacherScribe: And it might as well be fall!
http://teacherscribe.blogspot.com/2015/08/and-it-might-as-well-be-fall.html
What I Want to Read Next. Sunday, August 02, 2015. And it might as well be fall! I know that there are still 38 days left of summer before school starts, but once August rolls around, I can't help but get excited for autumn. The signs area already beginning to show -. 1 I saw a combine harvesting grain in the east field behind our house. 2 The back to school ads and displays are starting to pop up in the stores. 3 The evening seems to come just a little bit sooner than it did early in the summer.

TeacherScribe: My Top Ten Favorite Movies
http://teacherscribe.blogspot.com/2015/07/my-top-ten-favorite-movies.html
What I Want to Read Next. Wednesday, July 22, 2015. My Top Ten Favorite Movies. In honor of watching one of my all time favorite films in Literature today, Sleepy Hollow, I thought I'd devise a list of my top ten favorite films as I don't think I've ever thought of that before. So here we go. No judging! How can't you not love Jaws. He said that it had rained while they were inside, so when they came out, the parking lot had a sheen of water across it as if it were open water. What I love about this film...

TeacherScribe: Police for America
http://teacherscribe.blogspot.com/2015/07/police-for-america.html
What I Want to Read Next. Thursday, July 30, 2015. This is amazing. This man appears to be a wonderful leader and a true hero. But for every great man like this, there are also others like the police officer profiled below. Given the tragedies that have occurred for both innocent victims (such as the Minnesota man who was shot) and for the innocent police officers who were killed in Dallas, this post seems just as relevant today as it was when I initially wrote it last summer. Or being harassed like this?

Minnesotalady: June 2014
http://minnesotalady.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
A true account of a lady from Minnesota. Wednesday, June 11, 2014. Youth is not Wasted On the Young. Recently, a young lady asked me if I was jealous of her because she was half my age. It took all patience and God-Loving Control not to slap her. Instead, I bit my tongue for five seconds and said, "No, I'm in the best part of my life". I know my husband loves me. I have two lovely daughters. Never again will I have to worry about morning sickness, first job interviews, or what I want to be when I grow up.

Minnesotalady: Sewing with Nancy
http://minnesotalady.blogspot.com/2008/06/sewing-with-nancy.html
A true account of a lady from Minnesota. Tuesday, June 3, 2008. When my Grandma Shirley was alive, her favorite show was Sewing with Nancy. Every Saturday, she had my sister or me tape the show whether grandma was on outings or even at home watching the program. Sometimes, when we'd come over she'd have us watch a segment with her. Grandma knew all about Nancy's life. Nancy had a stroke and valiantly survived. Grandma was impressed with how Nancy could sew. Https:/ www.nancysnotions.com. I wonder if you ...
