- Knowledge Constellation Nonfiction Book Project Gallery - During the Fall semester, Liddell’s AP Lang students independently read a nonfiction book of their choice. As they read, they conducted research related to their book. And, in the end, they created a way to share their findings as a “knowledge constellation.” Click here to check out a gallery of their projects.

- Poetry Revolution! - Did you know that some of our most popular library books are poetry? Inspired by the popularity of social media poetry, I’ve been building up a print collection of works by new poets, and these titles are in constant circulation. Curious about this literary trend? Browse through this #instapoetry resource, which I also shared when Valhalla Teacher Librarian Stephanie Macceca and I recently co-presented Reading Revolution: New Literacies in Future Ready Learning at SDCUE’s Tech Fair.
