Nonfiction Matters
- Stephanie Harvey, Stenhouse Publishers, 1998 – Stenhouse Publishers writes: "When we open the gates to nonfiction inquiry, we open our thinking and expect the unexpected, making reading discoveries, research discoveries, and writing discoveries on our way. Nonfiction Matters offers teachers the tools to help students explore nonfiction and dig deep to reach more complete understanding of the real world and report these insights in a compelling manner." Stenhouse lets you preview the book online and provides a downloadable study guide if you buy.
Think Nonfiction!
- Stephanie Harvey and Anne Goudvis, Stenhouse Publishers, 2006 – This is a DVD with study guide. Stenhouse Publishers writes: "Join Stephanie Harvey and Anne Goudvis authors of Strategies That Work in a reading workshop as students begin to explore the wild and wooly world of non-fiction where merely getting the facts isn't enough. Nonfiction readers need to merge their thinking with the information – to learn, understand, and remember it." Stenhouse lets you view a clip from the 30-minute video. Also available in VCR format.

Teaching Writing That Matters
