Recently I finished the final book in the Twilight Series, Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer. Seeing as it is quite a long text, I managed to finish it in two days because I could not put it down! Every page came with a new surprise, so I kept reading on to find out more. I will not give any of it away for those who have not read it yet, but it is definitely worth reading! Edward is my ideal man :) and it makes me happy that Bella has brown hair and brown eyes like me! :)
From reading the Twilight Series, I realize that it is important to keep up with the young adult literature my students may be reading. Maybe I could incorporate it into the classroom somehow by creating a writing assignment for the students to describe their favorite character or aspect of the novel. I know if I were in high school and my teacher assigned a project such as that, I would be totally pumped because the teacher took something I was interested in and made it an assignment for a grade. Not that the students would not be interested in the required readings for class, but it is always plus having the teacher take interest in something a student may be reading on the side.

Hi Mary Jo!
ReplyDeleteI am very impressed that you finished that thick novel in two days! It's that good eh? I've heard so much about these Twilight books that I feel tempted to try them out. I did see the film, did you? And did you like it? I really like the story line in the film so I assume I'd really enjoy the actual text too! Everyone I've talked to that's read it says it goes extremely fast. If you finished it in two days, I bet they weren't lying!!
