I Don’t Mean Like
![Page 4: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
I Mean Love
![Page 5: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
How Many of You Can Name a Novel You Love?
![Page 6: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

How Many of You Can Name a Nonfiction Book You Love?
• Excluding memoir, biography, cookbooks, and self-help? (and we won’t even mention that misbegotten creature, the textbook – carefully crafted to remove all passion and replace with it utility)
![Page 8: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Question One:
• How can you encourage young people to love reading books you have no desire to read?
![Page 9: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Or,
• What Are the Pleasures of Reading Nonfiction?
![Page 10: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Because
• Before we speak about standards and objectives and strategies and rubrics we have to be honest.
• If focusing on nonfiction feels like a loss to you, a chore, a shift away from books you love to books you are required to pretend to like, the game is lost before it begins.
![Page 11: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Estimated Shift
• From 80-20 Fiction – Nonfiction
• To 50-50

All this is great, but
• Aren’t you wondering about the missing word?
• The key to reading pleasure?
• The treasure of the library?
• Your all-time favorite?
• What ever happened to….

What Is the Magic of Story?
• And how does that relate to Nonfiction?

This Is One Key Dividing Point
![Page 41: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

We Form a Band of Friends

The Two Great Pleasures of Story:
• We Are Taken Out of Ourselves
![Page 46: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
So We Can Learn More About Ourselves
![Page 47: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
This Dual Journey
• Out to go in
• Forget yourself to find yourself
• Is the essence of what many people believe reading has to offer
![Page 48: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Nonfiction Is Full of Stories
![Page 49: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
And Yet

By Contrast
• What Is the Opposite of Fun Reading?
• What Is the Opposite of Pleasure Reading?
• What Is the Opposite of Story?

Why Are These Not Fun?
• No affect; dry

Can Dry Be Good?
• What if You Like Facts Because They Are Pure and Make No Emotional Demands
![Page 59: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)

There Is Pleasure Beyond Story
![Page 64: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Story vs. Fact
• Imagine – the journey is interior: mind’s eye; envision; identify; exploration is private, discussed in public
• Act – do things in the real world; involve body; assert self; change the public world, no need to share internal process
![Page 65: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Imagine and Share
![Page 66: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Decide and Act
![Page 67: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
If I ask you:
• “Is There Anything More to Nonfiction than Names and Dates?”
• You will of course say,
![Page 68: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Everything
![Page 69: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
And More
• In Nonfiction books you – the author and the reader – are the seeker:
![Page 70: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
What Does This Book Mean to Me?
• You do not IDENTIFY with a CHARACTER
• You ARE the ACTOR, THE SEEKER
• You develop your SKILL in the REAL WORLD
• You have the POWER of ACTION and KNOWLEDGE
![Page 71: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
The Key Difference
• In Fiction you are taken on a journey
• In nonfiction you gain tools to undertake your own journey
• You as librarians are the wizard, the magus, giving young people the handbooks for their quests; you give them the tools to act in the world.
![Page 72: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
The Gifts of Knowledge
• We are giving young people a way to grow
• To gain power
• To act in the world
• To take their place as informed thinkers
• And more because knowledge has no ending, we don’t know the answers, in fact
![Page 73: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Behind Every Answer Lurks a New Question
![Page 74: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
I Will Open Those Doors
• In my breakout session,
• Right now we have a rather major question in front of us
![Page 75: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
All of This Is Fun But
• What Does It Have to Do with the Common Core Standards?
![Page 76: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
The Key to It All
• Remember the 3 meanings of Information?
• In the old view, Information was dead – like those butterflies.
• The new standards want you to help young people see information as alive – taking shape on the page in front of them, inviting them to think with the books.
![Page 77: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Younger Ages: Finding
• The first meaning of “Information”
• Notice factual details
• Identify relationship between instance and theme
• Recognize book architecture: Title, author, TOC, backmatter, index

Younger Ages: Judging
• Compare and contrast two books on the same (or closely similar) subject.
• Two biographies
• Two dino books
• Two moments in history books

Younger Ages: Mapping an Argument
• As we get up towards 3rd grade, we enter the second meaning of In Formation
• Tracing how an author uses what we have seen before – details, narrative, book structure, illustration – to lead readers to an idea, insight, or conclusion
• Modeling: students see how to structure their own writing

Another Way to Think of NF Structure
• What is the difference between a
• List and an Argument
![Page 87: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
Just About NowYou are probably thinking:
• “I do all this already, what is the big deal?”
![Page 88: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
Congratulations!
• You do in fact know all of this already – which makes you really valuable to teachers, students, parents, the entire school community
• But

You Have to Advertise
• Make sure everyone knows what you know (that is, how to read nonfiction with young people)
• Do not wait for anyone to seek you out
• Show your stuff:
![Page 90: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
Displays
• Feature book elements (interesting cover, inventive TOC, useful backmatter)
• Draw attention to interesting unusual words – for example scientific terms, etymology
• Spectacular NF illustration
• Pair books – create clusters
• Contrast lists and arguments
![Page 91: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
A Big, Big 5 Display
• Newspapers, magazines, books, sites all use the 5 Question structure:
• “Who, What, When, Where, Why”• Have a huge Big 5 display calling on all
your resources• Have a Big 5 Event – where kids have to
each bring in an example – that they found or wrote – showing all 5 questions answered.

Instead of Story Time
• Host a “Get the Story” time
• Where there are hidden clues in the library – or held by librarians – and student reporters must find them, using the 5 Golden Keys
• See the shift from reception to action?

Crossing the Great Water – 5th Grade and Up
• Point of View
• “Analyze multiple accounts of the same event or topic, noting important similarities and differences in the point of view they represent.” (5th grade standard)
![Page 94: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
When Information was Dead
• POV was meant to be invisible.
• “Just the facts,M’am.”
• Your task was to find reliable texts that did not undermine or infect truth with opinion.
![Page 95: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
When Information is Alive
• POV is everywhere• “What’s your angle?”• Your task is to find texts that are reliable
because they• Identify sources• Consider counter arguments• Can be questioned • Can be paired with other POVs
![Page 96: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
You Don’t Have to Be an Expert
• Just a good reader.
• The students needs to recognize POV not as a “gotcha” flaw, but rather as a necessary feature of all argument
• Comparing POVs is an invitation to the reader to weigh, evaluate, consider, and begin to form new ideas.
![Page 97: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
POV in NF is like
• Character in fiction – it is how one person (or set of people) sees things, buttressed by the evidence s/he presents, filtered through the challenges of other thinkers
![Page 98: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
Collaboration
• Your LA teachers are used to teaching the elements of fiction
• Your SS and science teachers are used to teaching content, critical thinking, and scientific method
• You need to bring all of them together
![Page 99: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)

Author Study
• Books are not written by computers
• What is one author’s style versus another’s?
• What is similar in his/her books across subjects?
• What makes this a book by that author?

![Page 104: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/104.jpg)
By Recognizing Styles of Nonfiction
• You are beginning to show young people how to have Voice.
• There is as much choice in how you write nonfiction as fiction.
![Page 105: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/105.jpg)
The One Slide You Must Remember
• In the past your role was to match the content needs of students and teachers: if it is 4th grade it must be New York history.
• Now your role is to match the reading and thinking needs of students and teachers: lets look at how two different New York history books tell the same story two different ways
![Page 106: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/106.jpg)
Speaking of Comparison,By 7th Grade
• “Compare and contrast a text to an audio, video, or multimedia version of the text, analyzing each medium’s portrayal of the subject (e.g., how the delivery of a speech affects the impact of the words).”
![Page 107: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/107.jpg)
Is There Anyone In This Building
• Who cannot picture a spectacular multimedia display showing
• Dr. King giving the “Dream” speech on a screen• A set of newspaper clippings from 1963• A photo essay on the March – and his later Poor
People’s March• A news article on Occupy Wall Street• What is similar, what is different, what is our
POV now?
![Page 108: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/108.jpg)
Which Leads Us to 9-10th grade
• “Analyze seminal U.S. documents of historical and literary significance (e.g., Washington’s Farewell Address, the Gettysburg Address, Roosevelt’s Four Freedoms speech, King’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail”), including how they address related themes and concepts.”
![Page 109: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/109.jpg)
Ideas in Flight
• Now, because the student can
• Recognize relevant details
• Trace a sequence of arguments
• Identify a point of view
• Compare and contrast across different sources and types of media
• S/he can
![Page 110: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/110.jpg)

![Page 111: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/111.jpg)
Which Is Precisely an 11th-12th Grade Standard
• “Synthesize information from a range of sources (e.g., texts, experiments, simulations) into a coherent understanding of a process, phenomenon, or concept, resolving conflicting information when possible.”
![Page 112: Information: The Secret Key](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568144d3550346895db19d9a/html5/thumbnails/112.jpg)
Big Finish: Think to yourself, can you identify:
• The Pleasures of Nonfiction• The three meanings of Information• How those fit the CC standards• How to advertise what you know already• How to use your existing skills to create
displays, bring together media, invent activities that make your library the CC hub of the school
• How to cross the great divide to POV• The one slide I told you to memorize

When You Can You Are Ready For the Really Big Start
• Direct links between experts, authors, and your students (Skype)
• Student created knowledge (National History Day; Memory Trail http://www.memorytrail.us/)
• Your school as part of an international network of students, authors, teachers, and experts in the field
