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.

Queer Theory Group

As a group, we think that we did very well presenting Queer Theory to the class. We met two times to work on the project together plus had a meeting with Valerie. Our group got along very well and we all thought we were easy to work with. We also thought that we divided up the work evenly and covered the important material in the chapter as well as include some things of our own. Although it was the day after St. Patrick's Day and the class seemed tired, they also seemed interested and we, for the most part, were able to keep their interest. Although there was a lot of things that we had to lecture about, we did incorporate some interactive things as well which kept the class alert. I think the read aloud that we chose was very effective, and I do feel bad that I did not know the ending. So, for the people that do want to know, Kyle and Jason do end up dating by the end of the book! Our videos seemed to catch the classes interest as well and were good tools to wrap up our presentation while covering everything we had talked about.
