Researching @ the Library: Magnolia Full-Text Poetry Database
Since 1996, April has been deemed National Poetry Month by the Academy of American Poets. According to the Academy, the concept is to widen the attention of poets and their words. To help support the Academy of American Poets' mission, MAGNOLIA has a Poetry Database which consists of 12 different full-text electronic sources.
Technology @ the Library: Adding a "VOICE" to your SAMR Lessons
Teachers will be able to add a "VOICE" to their lessons starting in August. I will be purchasing a microphone that will allow a group of students to be recorded without having to start and stop. Socratic Seminars and Class Debates could be recorded, uploaded and shared with other classes to get different prospectives (REDEFINITION level).

In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago world, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue.

For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is--she can't have both. - goodreads.com
Bad Girls Don't Die - Katie Alender
Alexis thought she led a typically dysfunctional high school existence.

When a family fight results in some tearful sisterly bonding, Alexis realizes that her life is creeping from dysfunction into danger. - goodreads.com
