Multi-Modal Literacies: All for Pleasure:)

After taking Teaching Reading with Literature, I have become more than anxious to explore different literature that are popular amongst young adults. I know I am beyond late with my newest series, but better late than never right?


I have recently become obsessed with the Twilight series. I am not one of those people who have read the books and was so excited when they turned into movies; actually I am the complete opposite. I started by watching the first Twilight movie and falling head over heels for Jacob. Yes, I am team Jacob all the way. Needless to say I am completely caught up with the movies and anticipating the next movie. Someone encouraged me to start reading the series, but with school I do not really have the time. Oh, but since I picked up the first book I have been completely hooked. I feel like by watching the movies I am able to visualize the book more. Instead of reading the book first, I eliminated the chances of producing false hope of Edward being some type of macho man! 

It is funny to think that at my age, I am more intrigued by this story of vampires and wolves than I was when the books were more age appropriate.

  1. Thanks for posting Rubye =) I read all the Twilight books and I saw the first movie - I wasn't a huge fan, although I am really happy you've found a series to be hooked on, that's the best!

  2. I think it's great that you've finally gotten hooked on Twilight! I think it's a good idea for teachers to become familiar with the books and movies their students are reading and watching. However, by the time we're teaching, there may be a new "Twilight" that students have become obsessed with.
