  • We talked a bit more about the structure of the class, the exam dates, and paper deadlines.
  • Everyone should be added to Blackboard now; if you are not, please let me know.
  • Extra credit opportunity: Lois Lensky lecture series, feature Dr. Philip Nel on March 26th and 7pm. Dr. Nel will present a lecture about his upcoming book The Purple Crayon and a Hole to Dig: The Lives of Crockett Johnson and Ruth Krauss.
  • We got into groups and discussed our favorite books and some of the major debates in children's literature.
Homework:
  • Monday: Nodelman and Reimer article (an electronic copy is available in Blackboard in case you don't have the paper copy I passed out).
  • Wednesday: "Little Red Riding Hood" (p. 3-16, 21-22) from The Classic Fairy Tales.
