Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac by Gabrielle Zevin

This is a Reading Olympic book I read (give it 5 stars out of 5!) and now I have to make up 5 questions and the answers with pg # and chapters... I really liked the main character, Naomi,a teen of 16 years who falls while returning to school to get the yearbook camera. Zevin nailed the protagonist's angst, humor, anger and introspective thoughts.

How is ethnic literature being taught in middle school?

My middle school in Colorado Springs has 18% ESL students, and I am trying to add minority literature to the library collection as well as include engaging activities.

Best,

Five Blogs in a Blender

Reading 2.0

I thought the title of this blog was interesting. It has only been up since October 2007. There is a book review for each month and a place for comments.

choices

I was wondering what user of this site think. Do you prefer using your blog or the comments to post in? A small consideration. Also on the issue of using an aggregator, do you prefer a desktop application or a web based one?

starting over

Here I was jazzing up my site and adding all kinds of posts and content, when lo and behold I quit Firefox and when I came back in it I found I was on an older version of my 21st C. site and a lot of my stuff was gone, including some of my friends! So I am starting again. Come back friends.
