These three have many adventures throughout this book that consist
of danger and excitement. There is also the fact that there is a love triangle
between Stephan, Damon and Elena. This was not the case always because Elena
and Stephan had fallen in love before Damon and Elena developed feelings for
one another. In the end Elena chooses Stephan and they begin to build their
relationship back from the ashes.
This book honestly does not have any curriculum value unless
you were teaching a fantasy literature lesson. This book would also be very age
appropriate to have in a library in an upper elementary or middle school
language arts class’s library. I am going to teach at a middle school level so
this is a great choice due to the fact that students their age are infatuated
with the series. I would highly
recommend this book!
I have never read this book, but it sounds interesting. There is definitely an appeal to fantasy fiction among young people; the adventure and mystery of magic is enticing to those whose lives seem out of control. I think that a lot of preteens would enjoy these kinds of books! It would be a good one to have in the classroom library!
ReplyDeleteI honestly didn't know this was a book series before a TV series. Like you said, this probably isnt a book that you include in your curriculum for reasons we discussed in class but is definitely a book that you can use to get children interested in reading. These are the types of books that help children fall in love with reading. Great post!
ReplyDeleteThis book could help students build a bridge to more academic reading. If they read this, they may be more apt to say that reading is fun. This would be a wonderful tool for teachers to use when students don't seem enthused about reading for enjoyment.
