Gather
Stories are medicine. During a time of heightened isolation, bestselling author Richard Van Camp shares what he knows about the power of storytelling -- and offers some of his own favourite stories from Elders, friends, and family. Gathering around a campfire, or the dinner table, we humans have always told stories. Through them, we define our identities and shape our understanding of the world. Master storyteller and bestselling author Richard Van Camp writes of the power of storytelling and its potential to transform speakers and audiences alike. In Gather, Van Camp shares what elements make a compelling story and offers insights into basic storytelling techniques, such as how to read a room and how to capture the attention of listeners. And he delves further into the impact storytelling can have, helping readers understand how to create community and how to banish loneliness through their tales. A member of the Tlicho Dene First Nation, Van Camp also includes stories from Elders whose wisdom influenced him. During a time of uncertainty and disconnection, stories reach across vast distances to offer connection. Gather is a joyful reminder of this for storytellers: all of us.

In the Field and in the Literacy Lab: Science Poetry
Each science poetry collection I envision begins with an immersive field experience and a wide, general-interest dive into the library. For my upcoming collection Superlative Birds (Peachtree, March 1, 2019) I visited the Cornell Lab of Ornithology in Ithaca, New York, where I met ornithologists and amazing birders, and experienced birding using all of my senses. When I meet field scientists, their excitement always enriches my connection to their subject. As I zeroed in on my approach to Superlative Birds (avian world record-holders such as the tiniest, the loudest, and the smelliest birds) my library research became more focused. I studied specific attributes such as eggs, beaks, and nests, each selected to tell a piece of the story of bird-ness.

George Saunders’s 400-Pound CEO
George Saunders, in “The 400-Pound CEO,” displays a theme that appears in many of his stories and that he has talked about in numerous interviews. Jeffrey, the protagonist and narrator of the story, confronts the dissonance that exists between enacting goodness and theological or ideological belief. The story ultimately suggests a Buddhist approach, what Saunders explains as a practical means of “react[ing] accordingly” to life as “that-which-is.”

Using Story Baskets to Foster Literacy Engagement
Additionally, as they explore the physical book in the basket, they begin to understand different aspects of print awareness, such as how to hold a book, how to turn its pages, and where to start reading. Because story baskets can be explored in pairs or small groups, they provide opportunities for children to use listening and speaking skills as they converse. When teachers arrange items in an inviting way, children feel welcome to play and respond to the scene, reference a familiar book's text and illustrations, and retell the story in their own words, which supports sharing narratives with purpose and understanding. Following are materials teachers can use to create story baskets: * a container or basket large enough to hold the book and story items * a fiction book with narrative elements from a shared read aloud * small figurines to represent main characters or costumes and props children can use to act as characters in the book (such as a wolf's ears, a pig's nose, or a baby doll) * natural or recycled items or loose parts to enhance a story's plot line (gems for a pond, rocks for items such as food, cardboard for construction materials) * an appealing piece of fabric, such as a scarf, that can be used as the base for the story objects or to represent part of the book (such as a flowing river) Story baskets provide an opportunity for a familiar literacy routine while changing the text as curriculum and topics develop in the classroom.
