Minds Made for Stories: How We Really Read and Write Informational and Persuasive Texts by Thomas Newkirk

# data[].attributes.body
A game changer for me - Newkirk posits that the "mother genre" is narrative, and that thinking about kinds of texts as narratives, as stories, can help us be better writers, teachers of writing, and readers. Lurved it. Not list of exercises as much as his intellectual journey, though there are several activities I've hacked for my own use.

# data[].attributes.body
Informed by cognitive sciences, Lang outlines several small, incremental changes we can make as teachers that have a big bang in terms of learning. Activities, rationale, and hints. Recognize much of his ideas, but his text and examples push me to think more deeply and intentionally about what I'm doing.
