pajama class blog

This blog is about what we have been learning about in my American Literature class. We have been reading Walden by Henry David Thoreau, and the best way I can put it is.... I love it! I love reading it, and trying my best to analyze it. I have been learning more and more about myself through this book, and I would suggest it to anyone that has not read about it, and is willing to learn about the important things in life! 

graphic novels and making a film

While reading about graphic novels; all I could think about is my childhood. I used to enjoy reading comic books as a child, and actually collected them for a short period of time, but the question is how would I be able to incorporate them in a classroom? Well I figured since most children like comic books you could have them create their own comic books out of the books you have them read in class such as Romeo and Juliet and such.

Last class we made our short story film. I thought this was a lot of fun. Although, it did take quite awhile, and I don't see this lesson possible for high school students. It was a great lesson for college students, but high school I really do not see it happening unless you would give them a month in order to complete the assignments.
