What is modern fantasy?
Well, to me modern fantasy is a story that involves a change in setting such as realistic to a new world. Or it could be a change in the characters such as animals with human characteristics. Modern fantasy is a strange world or strange characters. It is out of the ordinary.

Traditional Lit.
Mrs. Harris has asked our class to define traditional literature in one sentence. Let me just say, that is no easy task. Traditional literature is comprised of many components. I would define traditional literature as a type of literature that is passed on through a culture, and that is child based in story.
Using traditional based literature in the classroom would be a great opportunity to get to know the students and their culture. The students could pick a traditional literature book that reflects their culture. The teacher could also use this as a good opportunity to instill values and morals for the students.
I would definitely use traditional literature in my classroom because the traditional literature is useful to teach students values and life's lessons. The students would enjoy remaking the stories and changing them to fit their own culture. This would be fun for students to remake a story they like.

Picture book blog
I would like to start off this blog by appologizing to Dr. Harris. I want to appologize because I have not been keeping up with my obligations to your class. I dont know if I have senior-itis or if Im trying to hold back from growing up....what ever it is, Im sorry.
Now, let me start the assignment.
We are talking about picture books in class. By the way the presentation was GREAT!
What are picture books? Good Question.
Most people think that picture books are just books with pictures and without words. That only covers one categorie of picture books. There are other books that would fall under the picture book category. Books whos pictures go with the words and the words go with the pictures, would be considerd a picture book.
When can picture books be used? I like this queston.
Well, as a teacher I would definatly think out of the box on this one. I dont believe that picture books have an age limit. Wheather I am teaching elemntary school or high school, I would use picture books.
How can a picture book be used? Think out of the box on this one.
As a teacher of younger grades I can utilize picture books in my classroom to help me teach concepts such as math, science, and many others. If I was teaching in high school I would still use pictures books to help go further into detail regarding a concept. This can be achieved by having students analize and use critical thinking skills.
Are there limits when using picture books? I would say so.
I think, like any good thing, there are limits. There should be a limit because as a teacher you would not want to depend on picture books to teach your students.
How to evaluate or select picture books? Very important.
This is something that I was not aware of until I saw the presentation, the words need to go with the pictures and the pictures need to go with the words. Apparently this is important to the reader for understanding and comprehention.
Personal views on picture books.
I happen to like picture books. They are fun to look at and read. I do see the importantce of having the pictures match the words, they help to make the story come to life. I would use picture books to help enforce or introduce concepts.
