Kidlit Bloggers

This is one of the blogs that my students and I created for a course on young adult literature. For this particular blog, students weren't required to post and we used the space as a complement to our twice a week sessions. The "Issues of Diversity in Children's and Adolescent Literature" blog shows what it looked like when I had a blog as an instructor and asked students to create and link their own review blogs to the course site.

Welcome to ENG 308: Young Adult Literature!

Welcome to the ENG 308 Blog!

On Thursday, 1/14/10, we'll talk about how we might use this space as an extension of our classroom community.  We'll also spend some time in class talking about efficient ways to post and read blogs. (If you are new to blogs, you might check out the short video "Blogs in Plain English".)

At the moment the blog is set up so only members can read its content. We can talk in class about the pros/cons of making it public. If you are curious to see how MSU students have used blogs in other children's literature courses, you might check out:
That's all for now! Feel free to post or comment!

    Since quite a few people wrote that they are new to blogs, we'll watch the "Blogs in Plain English" in class and spend some time on how they work.
