As a teacher-educator and frequent classroom visitor, I am interested in having children and teachers understand that seeing history as a puzzle is important. They need to join in the fun of making sense of the past.Myra Zarnowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08384106059616982063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1337206901491734394.post-2309142018145348972009-05-21T12:06:16.776-04:002009-05-21T12:06:16.776-04:00Passion and research - what a combination and for ...Passion and research - what a combination and for readers interested, read more quotes from Tanya in this week's Through the Tollbooth discussion about writing nonfiction for children.

And I want to add two things: books have editors, the internet almost never does. So we have people to help us make sure what we say is right and true. <br /><br />And the second thing is for our readers, a little behind the scenes moment. Tanya e-mailed me and told me she was going to write what she wrote about Thoreau, etc. and I decided to check with a friend of mine who is a Thoreau expert. (I also have a friend who is a warlord expert, but now I'm just bragging). Jeff Cramer, Curator of Collections at the Thoreau Institute, helped me track down the Thoreau quote I use in CHARLES AND EMMA, "Not that the story need to be long, but it will take a long while to make it short." So I e-mailed Jeff the other day to ask him if Thoreau read Pascal. Here's part of what Jeff wrote back: <br /><br />"I cannot find any record that Thoreau ever read Pascal, which is not to say that he didn’t. His works were available at Harvard.
