Tip
Points of View Reference Center
One that stood out to me as it helped so many content areas meet a standard (or more) was Points of View Reference Center. It provides access to valid articles that share four main essays on the "topic" researched:
- an overview of the topic
- point (arguments that support the topic)
- counterpoint (arguments that support the opposing side)
- guide to critical analysis (questions & tips on how to dig deeper)
Take a couple of minutes and explore! Or contact me so we can explore together!

Title
Sunny Side Up by Jennifer Holm and Matthew Holm
Following Mr. Shu on Twitter he shared that a podcast was forthcoming about this book, sharing the entire story of production -- from author to editor to colorist and more! This concept fascinated me so I listened and learned that Sunny Side Up was not only a must read, but a must have in the MS libraries.
Sunny Side Up, a graphic novel by the sister & brother team who write Babymouse, is a modified autobiographical story. It discusses what happened to Jennifer when her family tried to cover a family secret. The implications of how it impacted everyone -- most definitely Jennifer -- were detailed, both visually and written. This is a story that so many teens will gravitate towards as it is realistic, warm and a tad bit humorous.
