NEW YORK, Nov. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ Scholastic, the global children's publishing, education and media company, is launching two new professional books for educators at the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) Annual Convention this month: The Reading Zone by Nancie Atwell and Anne Atwell Merkel, and Mastering Short-Response Writing by Alan Lawrence Sitomer. In addition, Scholastic professional authors Laura Robb, Michael Smith and Jeff Wilhelm will be honored with prestigious awards at the Convention to be held November 17-20, 2016 in Atlanta, Georgia.

When New York cabaret community insiders and frequent club goers heard that Marissa Mulder was planning a Marilyn Monroe-themed show, the consensus was the vocalist's naturally breathy voice paired with a roster of songs from Monroe's films would be a good fit. Sidestepping expectations, Mulder and Director Sondra Lee have instead put together a one-woman theater piece with almost as much monologue (using Monroe's own words) as music. Equally surprising, the impressionistic show (currently in the midst of a four-show run at the Laurie Beechman Theatre after launching in February at the Metropolitan Room) features not Monroe's familiar material, but rather songs that reflect what its creators intuit as her internal life.
