You and Susan Katz have also got me thinking about the word "president" and what it actually means. That's kindergarten stuff, anyway. Lucky you, to get your hands on books like this ahead of time!Heidi Mordhorsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09902158336083356337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-81808667647347391922011-12-30T21:49:43.313-05:002011-12-30T21:49:43.313-05:00This looks like fun!This looks like fun!Tara @ A Teaching Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07195982194362559883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-7196576157952055052011-12-30T13:00:12.668-05:002011-12-30T13:00:12.668-05:00Dear Random Ramblings, I stand corrected.

It is opposite of "fact".<br />Factoid: A factoid is a questionable or spurious—unverified, incorrect, or fabricated—statement presented as a fact, but with no veracity.<br />Your first example is a "fact", not a "factoid".random ramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07285623309429870898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-53433318006079244252011-12-30T08:17:50.303-05:002011-12-30T08:17:50.303-05:00Thanks much for sharing about this book, Mary Lee....Thanks much for sharing about this book, Mary Lee. The snippets you shared are wonderful & will make fine reading this coming political year to many ages. I think it might also be used for good examples of the subtle way poetry can be used to tell a story, or at least your example of Harrison was like that. It'll be an interesting year!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.com
