What Are You Reading?

April 11, 2013 by tchistorygal

“What did you read today?” asks my book-reviewing blogging friend, Marcia.  That question made me examine my reading habits. What I really love is drivel. Shock!  I thought I was an intellectual!  Drivel is different from trivia, the plural of trivium.  Drivel is “silly nonsense”, while trivia (pl) are a step above that, “inconsequential or insignificant matters.”  Actually I love both.  And I can spend enormous amounts of time organizing myself so that I can enjoy my drivel to the […]

Are You There Blog? It’s Me, Writer.

November 24, 2012 by tchistorygal

Kristen Lamb, author of Are You There Blog?  It’s Me, Writer., writes non-fiction in a folksy, easy to understand style.  Read like good fiction, the pages of this how-to book practically turned themselves.  Writers and bloggers can immediately apply her tips to improve their blog, Facebook and Twitter platforms.

For those of us who teach history-social studies this shift is a godsend.  When it comes to Social Studies, there are two questions to answer about this shift. What non-fiction or informational text should my students read? How should I support the […]

Just Finish It

June 23, 2012 by tchistorygal

Such the Like motivated her with her blog post about what books she is reading.  I, too, love to read, at least I think I do.  If it’s not fiction I love to start reading. That’s why I read so little fiction.  I can’t stop reading fiction until the end of the book – even if I keep my scratchy eyes open until 2:00 a.m.  Unfortunately, there is so much else on my list to read, so I feel guilty reading […]

Hi, I'm Marsha Lee. I am married, and a recently retired educator. Everyone needs to know that someone is interested in the things you do in life. I think that is what motivates me the most. I enjoy my life, and I want to share and teach others who get pleasure from those same things.
