EDRG 3321 TR Author Profile

One of my favorite authors when I was little was Judy Blume. I loved her fudge books. He reminded me of all the things I shouldn't do if I didn't want to get a spanking. I was almost an only child,the way I lived and it was an adventure to think about being in Fudge's shoes and to try to imagine what it was like to have siblings living with me. All of my siblings lived elsewhere. I was the product of a second marriage. Here are some of her books.Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Today we saw the first genre presentation. The story was a chinese folktale. I was impressed with the movie maker feature that was used and the collaboration that was unmistakably obvious. I think the presentation goes to show how far you can go when everyone is on the same page and everyone works together toward one goal. I could also see that everyone involved had fun in creating the finished product.The preceding are a few other folktales I found. The first one is from INdonesia. We all know the importance of using multicultural literature in our classrooms. I think the choice for the first genre presentation was very good. I also liked the group participation option. Great job ladies very creative!Unfortunately none of my pictures came on I guess I'll just give the website this time.http://digitalart.org/images/artwork/0059000-59276/childrens-illustrations/indonesian-folktales-2.jpg

I can't believe this semester is almost history. It is amazing how fast time flies! I will read some of chapter 11 but I guess we've already covered most tof that material. I guess today is agood day to expose some more childrens authors and the books that make them famous.These are some books by Janice Herrington. They are about change it seems. That would be good to have in the classroom for children who are forced to move around alot and don't feel thay have a firm foundation.
