Last Class Session Reminders

I feel like I've already said this several times, and posted about it previously, but just in case, here are some last minute reminders about what is expected for our last class session. (I know it can be hard to keep everything straight, with the expectations from all of your different classes.)

• Here is a final checklist for class Wednesday:
• Hand in blog log.
• Bring to class the books you reviewed for your final project, to share with classmates.
• On your blog you should also have:
  Final project: 3-5 book reviews (depending on if you used picture books or novels or a combination), 1 professional resource review, 1 post in which you reflect on an aspect of your project as a whole

"Public" post for final project:

• Over the weekend, you should have received an invitation to be a contributor to the "Issues of Diversity in Children's and Adolescent Literature" blog. Respond as directed to this email. Choose one or more of your book reviews to post on this blog. Remember to follow the model for full citation and labels for the posts.

For next week (finals week) due Wednesday, April 30, class time

• 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!)

Any questions? See you in class!
