Tuesday, October 27, 2009. I have to say that I really enjoyed this novel. However, I have always been interesting in Nazi Germany and the Holocaust, so it wasn't surprising to me. I think this novel would be interesting to compare with "The Diary of Anne Frank". It would give two different aspects of the time period and what things were going on. Here is the URL if anyone is interested in watching the trailer : http:/ www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi751566873/. Wednesday, October 14, 2009. As far as teaching ...

Tuesday, December 1, 2009. One thing to keep in mind, though, is that not all students have read this novel, so as teachers, we can't assume that everyone is going to be prepared for it. I also liked that Glazner pointed out that we need to go beyond gender, class, and race when dealing with diversity. As I said before, we are not going to be able to cover every issue, but I think it is important to do the best that we can at exposing our students to many different types of diversity.

Adolescent Literature: October 2009

Friday, October 23, 2009. The Book Thief and "A Class Divided". Well, first off, I LOVED The Book Thief. I started out struggling with it - the constant interruptions by our narrator were a bit distracting at first, but I got used to it quickly. It took me a while to get really into it, but I balled my eyes out the last 75 or so pages! After watching "A Class Divided," I must say, I was stunned. Stunned that a teacher had the guts (and the OK from administration? Monday, October 12, 2009. I thought the a...

Monday, September 28, 2009. While I know the subject matter is difficult (no one wants to read about rape, especially of a teenager/child! Monday, September 21, 2009. Boy Meets Boy and its Queer Utopia. It slowly made sense to me that it was a utopian society, as I thought to myself for the 10th time, “Where do they live? 8221; because, sadly, it is certainly uncharacteristic of any place here in the United States that I know of! To say Boy Meets. Was not sexually explicit in any way. It was just the...

I really enjoyed this book and think it could be used well in a classroom! I was also glad to see that "death" was pretty kind, and at least sympathetic. However, it would be neat to use excerpts in an 8th ...

Wednesday, November 4, 2009. Struggles of Young Males in an Eglish Classroom. 1) How does the "troubled classroom" stereotype affect the teachers approach to teaching the class? 2) How does context play a role with boys and their achievement in school? 3) In what ways can we (teachers) promote literacy among young men in our classroom? 4) How will having a male teacher in class change the boys' demeanor in your class? 5) do males and females find the same literature appealing?
