Welcome!

Welcome to my young adult book profiles blog! 

I created this as an honors option project for my TE 302 class. During this semester, we read Pendragon: The Merchant of Death by D.J. MacHale and worked one-on-one with a middle school student to help them learn literacy strategies. I greatly enjoyed this part of the course and decided to do the same for some other young adult series that I enjoyed and are about the same reading level. 

For each of the books profiled on this blog, there will be the following:

-A home page with a picture of the book and a brief description of it

-Summaries of sections of the book (this could be individual chapters, sections within the book, or splits I created) that includes: 

  -A brief summary of the section

  -New characters introduced

  -Passages I thought were important

  -Literacy strategies I would recommend using

  -Discussion topics related to the section

  -Questions related to the section 

-An "Extra" page that includes:

  -Proposed text sets

  -Provocative pictures

  -Non-Fiction texts

  -Discussion topics

  -"Fat Questions"

I hope that whoever sees this finds it interesting and maybe even a little bit useful. Happy reading!
