Welcome to the LLED 449 LitBlog. In this writing space you may engage in personal response or literary analysis, or you may consider the text under discussion from an educator’s point of view. (For example, what issues does this text give rise to? What are the potential challenges or benefits of teaching this text? For what age level might it be appropriate? What are some possible teaching strategies specific to this text?) In education, theory should inform practice and vice versa, so it is hoped your responses will reflect a range of perspectives, theoretical and practical, and demonstrate the relations between those perspectives. You may use this writing space, as well, to ask questions and engage the ideas of your peers.
