What Do We Do?• We are a group of
educators from all over the planet committed to integrating new technologies into the teaching of YA lit

Why Use Tech to Teach YA Lit?
• Technology is changing the way students read and write.
• We want to recognize and appreciate the ways students engage in literacy on the Internet

Using Blogs to Teach YA Lit
• Steph Knight, 7th and 8th grade ELA teacher, Tesseract School, Paradise Valley, AZ
• Uses school-created wiki to blog with students– Posting Guidelines
• Think before you post; consider your audience and who you’re representing, etc
– Commenting Guidelines• Be constructive, not hurtful; answer a question or add
meaningful information to the content topic, etc
![Page 10: public.asu/~jblasin/index.html](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56814759550346895db498a3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Teaching Chains
• Students blog weekly about the novel Chains• Students post an initial response and reply
twice to other posts• Teacher is coordinating unit with social
studies unit on American Revolution
![Page 11: public.asu/~jblasin/index.html](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56814759550346895db498a3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Chains Discussion Topics
• Describe the life of slaves in the American colonies in the 1700s. Discuss the difference between a servant and a slave. How did Miss Mary Finch’s view of slavery differ from that of most slave owners? Why does Mr. Robert accuse Isabel of lying when she tells him that she read Miss Mary’s will? Explain why Pastor Weeks thinks that teaching a slave to read only “leads to trouble.”

Sample Chains Blog Post• I believe that the forefathers of the U.S.A. … saw America
as a country where freedom, fairness, and happiness would lead to world peace. For example, they spent their lives striving to make America their ideal country to live in. This shows that if they didn't want America to be successful, they wouldn't have spent so much time on shaping America's future. This also shows that if our founding fathers didn't found the U.S.A. with freedom in mind, this country would be very different. In conclusion, the most influential people in American history are the people who remember that we all deserve freedom.

Steph Knight’s Thoughts
• Had to deal with school’s technology issues and parent concerns, but once everyone got used it, they “realized why this matters”
• “Students are taking charge of their learning”• “Students have begun to do their own
research and make outside connections with history”
• “It’s what they’re doing anyway…”
![Page 14: public.asu/~jblasin/index.html](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56814759550346895db498a3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Steph Knight’s Thoughts
• “It’s changed the dynamic of my class” • “Once you set up a system and expectations,
it does the teaching for you” – “It’s helping them learn respect for one another”
• “It’s making the book come alive”

A Final Thought…
“I think we’re in the midst of a literacy revolution the likes of which we haven’t seen
since Greek civilization.” – Andrea Lunsford, Stanford University
What role will you and your students play in this revolution?

Twelfth Grade Kills #5: The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod, by
Heather Brewer • Vladimir Tod is just like every other teenage boy in
America. He has a best friend who would do anything for him and vice versa; he has someone at home who loves him and makes special sandwiches for his lunch; he loves a girl but their relationship is a little tricky; and he is desperately awaiting the end of senior year. Of course, there are some small qualifications or disclaimers that should be listed here. His best friend is actually his drudge, a human being who is Vlad’s vampiric psychic slave. His aunt makes very nice peanut butter sandwiches for him but she adds capsules of human blood instead of jelly. He is love with a lovely young woman but he dreams of sucking her blood and knows a relationship with him would doom her to a life not of her choosing. And while the end of senior year will be nice, if he doesn’t find a way to save the human race by the end of Christmas break, he and everyone he knows will die. Other than that, Vlad is a perfectly normal, half-human, half-vampire teenager.
