Hi!

My name is Dana Greaves and I'm a senior in Elementary Education at MSU. My specialization is in Language Arts and I'm really interested in literacy.

I am excited about this class because I took TE 348 and i loved the class. I find that except over the summer, i don't have a lot of time to read books for pleasure and when i take youth lit. classes is allows me to find interesting books and discuss them and i actually enjoy and look forward to reading the books in class.

I don't have a lot of experience with diverse literature and that was one main reason why i wanted to take this class. I think that i will learn a lot about what good diverse literature is and why it is so important to have diverse literature in your classroom.

I'm really excited about this class and to learn as much as i can about diversity in youth literature!
