This semester I have been put on a mission: Read ten young adult literature books and report on them. Since this age is a modern one, and I am a secondary education major, ten plain, old book reports will not do. I am going digital!
The main goal of the project is for me, as a teacher, to gain a working knowledge* of young adult literature. Not because I’ll be teaching it specifically, (though I probably will) but because I can’t suggest books to my students without first knowing what the books are about.
On a personal level, I have installed a secondary objective. I want this page to be a resource. A resource to teachers and young readers alike.
*To give credit where credit is due: I took the term “working knowledge” from the assignment description given to me by my professor.
