ekingston:


a twitter post by easterkingston saying "the term ‘fan’ fiction assumes an unequivocally positive attitude toward the source material. what a lot of us are writing should technically be classified as foe fiction"ALTa graphic illustrating the desire to write transformative fiction is greatest when the author either loves (fan fiction) or loathes (foe fiction) the source material ALT

sometimes i say things on twitter and then make a little graph about it

writing-prompt-s:

You work as tech support for ancient supernatural beings who are trying to adapt to the modern world. It’s a frustrating - and at times dangerous - job, but at least your clients pay well.

writing-prompt-s:

A mark on your forehead identifies the god you must worship to stay alive, usually by joining its local church or temple. Your mark is unknown, meaning an old, forgotten god sponsored you. To survive, you must either find an old temple to worship at, or do the arduous task of building a new one

It’s my first Valentine’s Day with a wife, although she’s been my Valentine for seven years. I’m a big fan.

Hi-Lo books are high interest, low reading level books that bring engaging material to reluctant readers. Over my career as a teacher I’ve used books like these in many capacities. They’re the perfect quick read for students who’ve forgotten their silent reading books. They’re accessible for English Language Learners. They’re perfect for alternative programs and teens who struggle to find books with relevant material in language that doesn’t slow them down/ bounce them out completely. The contemporary range of hi-los from @orcabook deals with a huge variety of important and difficult topics by an incredible range of authors, including Canadian powerhouses @ericwaltersauthor @carriemacwrites and @robinstevensonwrites



If you’ve never looked into it, you should check them out. A large variety of teaching material and lesson plans are available on the Orca Soundings website.

Jason, a trans teen, has to prove his sister was murdered. The police won’t listen, so he decides to infiltrate a boxing gym she was connected with. Unexpectedly, he finds friends and a sport he loves. Is finding out what happened more important than finally belonging?
