I really enjoyed the textbook choice for this semester. It provided me with a lot of helpful and insightful information that I will be able to use in the future. Not only did it introduce me to the many genres of literature, but it also provided me with a lot of ways that to apply these differnt styles of literature into my future lessons and teachings. The fab four was a great way for us to not only be introduced to the format of the textbook in the beginning, but as I put more work into my fab four, the more information I was able to obtain from the readings. The text was easy to read and organized in a way that it was easy to go back and find information. This was becasue it was split into three main sections; critical issues, teaching connections, and literature examples. Each of which can be found as well in my Fab 4 summaries themselves. Each of these sections was beneficial to learning about each topic. Being able to choose and focus on 4 chapters meant that I got more use out of the book than I would have if I was overwhelmed with the book as a whole. This way the class was able to split up the text and in the end we all learned about the topics we covered as well as the others through the sharing of everyones blogs.
