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.

Gallery Walk on Wednesday!

Gallery Walk of Young Adult Literature Projects
12:45-1:45 on Wednesday, May 5
Regular classroom


The votes are in on how to share final projects. The option that most people chose was the gallery walk. (Small groups came in a strong second.) 

Other than bringing a copy of your project/presentation, you don't have anything to do to prepare. (Although if your project is on-line, try to bring a computer. I'll have mine and we can also use the classroom computer.) We'll do the actual organization on Wednesday, but since we'll want to have everyone have a chance to share and talk about his/her project, we'll divide the class into groups and take turns mingling and "presenting".

I'll bring some treats!

Submitting projects:
  • If your project needs to be submitted as a hard copy (i.e. poster, scrapbook, binder, etc.), then you can just hand it in at the end of the Gallery Walk. (I'll also supply post-it notes and ask you when and how you would like the project returned.)
  • If your project is a traditional paper, please submit it to the Angel dropbox before the Gallery Walk. I will send feedback via email.
  • If your project is on-line, you can either do a post on our blog with a link or go to the Angel dropbox and supply the url for the project. (Either way, I'll email feedback privately.)
 Other questions?

  1. Is it going to be 12:45-1:45 or 12:45-2:45?

  2. We're going to try to keep it to an hour since everyone's schedules are so tight this week. :-)

  3. If you have copies of the YAL that you used in your paper/project, you might bring them to class. People might be interested in looking at them while you talk about your project.
