I would like some discussion on periodicals that provide short non-fiction articles to support sci, ss, math and lang. arts instruction and.can be thus used for response to literature. Muse, Calliope, Footsteps are excellent magazines for the middle level. I know others have favorites. I'd like to hear how they use them and share how we use them as well.
