7. It is as much an approach to teaching literacy
as it is a set of skills,
dispositions and strategies that enable us –
and our students – “to challenge text and life
as we know it” (McLaughlin & DeVoogd, 2004), to become
critical consumers and users of information.

15. Mankato has everything thanks to a freak of nature: the Sclare/Far
Fissure. This fissure in the earth's crust takes water seeping
through the earth, heats it to well over 165 degrees, and sends it
back up to the surface in steam pits and boil holes. The heat from
these pits and holes heats the valley air to such an extent that the
winter temperature in many Mankato neighborhoods has never
dropped below a balmy 70 degrees!!!! Come enjoy our winters!
