ABOUT

About this website: This website was originally created as a final project for a graduate level class at SUNY Potsdam. The class was Teaching Young Adult Literature and each student had to create a project that in some way dealt with Young Adult literature. As a future Social Studies teacher, I chose to create a project that combined both the subjects of English and Social Studies. After being completely done with my education, and working in the schools, I hope to continue this website as a year long project with my classes. I have created a list of YA books that relate in some way to U.S. History and at the beginning of the school year I will give my students this list and ask them to choose two books off of it to read during the course of the year. After they have read each book they will review just like I have done for the website and I will then put all of their reviews up on the website. If you have any reviews or other books to be added to the YA book list, please do not hesitate to contact me.
