Here is where we'll announce our latest published works, new site content, and various goings-on. 16-18 November 2005: Glen and Karen just returned from the National Writing Project Annual Meeting in Pittsburgh, where we picked up new ideas for integrating writing with technology. One of the ideas we've incorporated into this website. See our Writing Prompts page for the link and the password to our new Writing Prompts Wiki! Karen will be working from December 2005 through April 2006 on a series of five short books on the human body, written at the middle school level for a school and library publisher. More information as these books near publication. Throughout October and November, Glen and Karen will be hard at work on two new books on military vehicles for a school and library publisher. More information to come when the books near publication. The September issue of Dig magazine just arrived. This issue is all about peat bog mummies. Karen's craft article on making a bookmark using card weaving appears on page 30. 20 September 2005: We just added a page for Writing Prompt Generators. You can have a ton of fun clicking buttons to create random writing prompts. The September issue of Appleseeds magazine is out, with the theme of "Kids Can Change the World." Inside you'll find Karen's latest article, "Got a Problem? Get a Plan!" 19 September 2005: We've just opened up a discussion board on writing for children! We're still working on the decor, but come on in anyway: The Sandbox. 14 September 2005: New stuff in our For Teachers section! We're adding educational material to accompany our books. So far we've put in more crafts to go with two of Karen's craft books. Soon we'll add curriculum guides to several of our books. 5 August 2005: Good news! We have our website up! We hope everyone will find this useful and informative, and will keep coming back for more. August 2005: Glen and Karen took part in a National Writing Project writing retreat on writing about technology and writing, held at Leid Lodge by Arbor Day Farms in Nebraska. Glen was an official facilitator, and Karen was along for the food and to help out as needed. Karen's book, Chinese New Year Crafts (Enslow) was recently released. Glen and Karen are also working on two new projects for Enslow, via a book packager. More on this project as the books near the production phase. |
