I'm looking forward to seeing what other Armchair Bloggers say are their favorite nonfiction books!
I've seen The Glass Castle popping up on lots of blogs today, and I'm excited because it's coming up in my stacks soon!
ReplyDeleteYou won't be able to put it down!
DeleteUnbroken was SO SO SO GOOD! (So good, did I mention that?) I'm glad to see it's made your list!
ReplyDeleteLaura Hillenbrand is a phenomenal writer!
DeleteI remember being in 8th grade and picking up The Diary of Anne Frank because it was a "diary" and I was intrigued by it. Having no idea what it was about, I was engrossed the whole time. I don't know why my school never made it a recommended reading, it should be...quite excellent!
ReplyDeleteI played Miep in my high school production of it, and I've loved it ever since.
DeleteI really, really liked The Diary of Anne Frank. Now there's a book that sticks with you for forever!
ReplyDeleteAll wonderful books. I will be teaching 5th Grade SS for the first time next year. I know that might make me sound young, but not necessarily! LOL! I've spent 14 years focusing on ELA and will continue to but I will be fully integrating SS content into my workshop this year. I just ordered BOMB and have read many of the others on your list. Professionally speaking I can't imagine teaching without having read The Book Whisperer and I am a fan of Book Love as well! GREAT POST! I'm your newest follower.

Brandee,
DeleteSounds like an exciting year coming up for you! I think integrating SS into ELA is a great way to teach. I'm thrilled that you're a follower! Thank you!
