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.

A Marxist read of Twlight

Here's an editorial on Stephanie Myer's use of the the Quileute nation in Twilight that connects to our current focus on Marxist theory. I thought it was interesting how the author discussed how the Twilight franchise benefited from the "cultural property" of the Quileute without any sort of input from or benefit to the tribe itself.

  1. This article is extremely cool! An author friend of mine posted it on her Facebook wall and I'm planning to use it in my British Literature class soon!
