Welcome to TE 448: Issues in Diversity in Children's and Adolescent Literature! We'll use this blog, along with the individual blogs you will create, as a form of communication and archive of our work.
This blog was a class space for announcements, resources, and conversation. As you can see below, each student also developed his/her own blog and contributed to a more public blog that current and future classes are building as a resource.
The current instructor of TE 448 is using this blog, including the language of individual posts, to continue the use of blogging in the course. View another instructor's TE 448 blog.
You are also welcome to participate in Valerie's current TE 348 blog , which focuses on Reading and Responding to Children's and Adolescent Literature.
You may contact Valerie about the development of these blogging projects at struthe8@msu.edu.
The consensus of the group seems to be that people want to try out what it feels like to use a schedule to manage posts. Let's plan to have the person who posts do so in advance of class. The people who respond can do so either before or after class.
Week 10 (Becoming/Latino/a): B posts, A/C responds
Week 11 (Project/Asian Amer.): C posts, B/A responds
Week 12 (Confess./Jewish-Amer): Revised, since we won't be meeting in person. See post.
I'm curious to see what is gained and lost in such a move, so keep track of how the added structure "feels", what it does to your participation, etc.
This schedule shouldn't limit when you read and when you post/comment! We're trying this in hopes that it will enhance our conversation!
