I will say this in class, but thank you for a wonderful semester! Talking to you about books and reading your writing has helped me think of the books we've read and the ideas we've explored in new ways!
Please keep in touch. I'm always happy to talk about a new book or think about a classroom challenge! (I'm still subscribed to your blogs, so if you keep writing, I'll keep reading and responding!)
A final checklist: Everything is due by Monday or Wednesday of next week.
- Hand in blog log. If you don't have it in class, drop it by Erickson 357 (and drop me an email so that I know to expect it)
- On your blog you should have:
- Final project: 3 fiction reviews, 1 professional resource review, 1 post in which you reflect on an aspect of your project as a whole
- Final course post: Find some time in the upcoming week to reread your questioning the text papers, look over the course syllabus, and page through the course readings. Then write a short reflection that highlights how your thinking about diverse literature has changed over the semester. What have you learned? How has your reading/understanding of diverse literature changed over the semester? Do you have new questions/concerns? Where will you go from here? Focus on whichever prompt(s) make sense for you! (This is not a course paper. The idea is to highlight, in a concise manner, a few key points!)
- "Public post" for final project:
- In the next couple of days you will receive an email on your MSU account inviting you to be a contributor to the "Issues of Diversity in Children's and Adolescent Literature" blog. Respond as directed to this email.
- Post one or more of your final project posts to this blog. Remember to follow the model for a full citation and labels for the posts.
- Future classes will build on your work, so keep your eyes open!

If we already turned our blog log in do we need to give you another paper with the final project blogs listed?
Nope!
Is the public post also due by Wednesday? Or will this be due over finals week? I never did receive an email about this post.
I think I've confused the Wednesday section! This post is for after class. (I put it up for Monday's section, who has already met.)
The Wednesday section only has to do their final project posts. I'll explain the public post and the final post on Wednesday. Sorry for the confusion!
Valerie, I haven't received an e-mail about the public post yet, and I'm getting a little panicky (I have three finals on Monday, and I want to get this out of the way). Could you send that soon?
Valerie - I still haven't received any information about the final post. I just double checked my email to make sure I hadn't accidently deleted it, and there is nothing there. I had hoped it might come over the weekend, but still nothing - can you help me out??
I think I've responded to everyone who has emailed...
Some of the email "invites" that went out last week ended up in spam or trash folders. If you didn't receive one, email me and I'll resend it and/or give you a user name and password to use.
