Field Experience:

I really don’t know where to begin.  My field experience was with my SLMS.  She is a wonderful librarian!  Actually, she is also one of my best friends.  I really enjoyed working with her.  She helped me prepare a book talk to give to her Journalism students.  I also was able to observe her as she worked with her Journalism students to complete the school yearbook for the year.  I have really enjoyed this class.  I believe one of the most beneficial things I have learned is how to incorporate trade books into the high school classroom.  I have learned so much about different types of literature as well.  I think 2 of my favorites though were the poetry unit and the realistic fiction unit.  I really made a personal connection with these.
