I have been reading the book you’re not doing it right by Michael Ian Black. In the book Black talks about his marriage, sex, death, and many other embarrassing stories he has had in his lifetime. Many of his critics commend Black for being so brutally honest, one saying “This book is so frank, so full of amusingly embarrassing confessions, I should probably be giving Michael Black a hug instead of a blurb.” My question is would you be willing to expose the darkest corners of your life for the sake of your autobiography?

Teacher initiated blog #5: April 16th
Last week we discussed what makes YA literature valuable and why some novels stand the test of time over others. Use the Exeter Qualities to evaluate the novel you are currently reading. (Do not use The Hunger Games). Give specific examples to support your ideas. Be sure to put some thought into this reflection and double check your grammar!

April 10th: Teacher initiated blog
Analyze the popularity of The Hunger Games. Over 800,000 copies of The Hunger Games have been sold. The book spent 100 consecutive weeks on the New York Times Best Sellers list, and it has been translated into 26 different languages. The film has grossed 152.5 million in its opening weekend alone. Personally, I've recommended it to my daughter, my students, my friends, and my own father....and even though their ages span 40 plus years, they have all liked it. So what's the appeal? What is it about this story line or the characters that draws us in? What captured you? And, is this a book just for entertainment or is there educational value? (consider vocabulary, difficulty of plot, characterization, setting, etc.)

Parkside Reading Day!
Last Friday, you had the opportunity to visit with elementary students at Parkside and do some reading. Journal about the experience. What were your observations concerning the following: attitudes toward reading, reading abilities, types of books they chose, etc. Consider what we have discussed about becoming a reader and the stages you go through. Also, consider what we discussed about development in terms of social awareness, cognitive abilities, etc. How did they respond to you reading to them? What did you think about them reading to you? Do you have any funny stories to share?
