Dear Readers,

People are going to come at you with their truths, and they’re going to do all they can to convince you they’re true. So you have to be smart. But more, you have to be wise. You can’t just know things; you have to know how things work.

So we’re reading nonfiction texts about weather. And we’ll learn a lot about weather, but more importantly, we’ll learn how nonfiction texts work. What we’re really learning are how ideas work and how humans communicate them.

If we learn that, we’ll be ready to weigh all of the truths that people bring us.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
