Launched on September 8th this blog is creation of over two-dozen authors who specialize in writing non-fiction for young adults. With the Common Core emphasis on non-fiction writings, this site could prove to be a boon to students and educators alike! The plan is ambitious: the goal will be to post a brief non-fiction entry each school day. The topics will encompass the fields in the liberal arts curriculum: art, history, music, physical education, the sciences, and technology. Each entry will be no more than 2-3 minutes and length featuring and audio of the author reading his / her submission as well as visuals to accompany the text. It will be interesting to see it develop over the school year!
