Literary Compass: Did You Know about This Official Update?

Favorite Podcasts

A book is a literary compass that has the potential to direct our thoughts and actions:

"Everything we read stimulates our mind to think, and what we think determines what we desire, and desires are the seedbed of our actions. Given this iron law of human nature--from reading to thinking, to desiring, to acting--we are shaping our destiny by the ideas we choose to have enter our minds through print." - Fr. John Hardon, S.J., The Catholic Lifetime Reading Plan

Welcome to my own personal exploration of life through reading the great books of the world.

Did You Know about This Official Update?

(Cross posted at Teen Literacy Tips)

School is rapidly approaching, so my mind is starting to refocus itself on what I need to do to get ready to teach. This is the time of the summer that I start watching movies like Mr. Holland's Opus to re-energize the teacher within.

In that spirit, I want to share with you the official update to the viral video Did You Know? by Karl Fisch and Scott McLeod. I like to keep this video in mind as I start thinking about my goals for the new school year. How will I help students prepare to participate in this ever-changing society?
