New Blog Lineup

December 22, 2012August 23, 20191 Comment

So my blog posts lately have been pretty sporatic and I haven’t been on top of doing Book of the Week or any of those things. I feel pretty bad, especially since I’m out of school and I should have WHIMS of time to do it, and its just simply not getting done at all.

I love writing these posts but if I’m not kept to a schedule, well, I’ll forget and I won’t get it done. So this is the new, tentative schedule and we’ll see how it works.

I was on a high, extremely happy. I had a good night with my friends last night, eating good food and seeing The Hobbit at midnight.

I woke up to an absolute tragedy, a shooting at a Connecticut elementary school, where it is believed that 27 are dead, 18 of them children.

YA Literature: To Be or Not to Be

Today, I took my final examination for my children’s literature class. I know, I’m really sad about it. I am definitely going to miss this class. Its crazy how I took this class on a whim and it has been one of my favorite clases that I’ve ever taken.

But anyway, one of the questions on the final was to discuss the two different views on using young adult literature in the high school curriculum. Which got me thinking of course.
