Popular Culture and Texts - Learning Journal: Meet Amy - Your Local Bookstore Manager
http://hkirby-popcultureandtexts.blogspot.com/2013/10/meet-amy-your-local-bookstore-manager.html
Popular Culture and Texts - Learning Journal. CLN647 - A collection of the weekly reflect activities. Thursday, 31 October 2013. Meet Amy - Your Local Bookstore Manager. When the topic arose about 'what books are popular with teenagers' I had no idea where to start. Despite Goodreads and Amazon being widely available I headed to the local bookstore that my best friend manages. Amy (pictured left) Original Image. These were some of her recommendations:. I interviewed a new Australian YA author called Meli...

CLN647: Week 7 Reflection
http://nmerrycln647.blogspot.com/2013/09/week-7-reflection.html
Resources for Youth Literature. Sunday, 8 September 2013. I particularly enjoyed the social reading article. From this learning packs readings. While I have not engaged in social services such as goodreads before, I have messed around with sharing quotes through the kobo app. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

CLN647: September 2013
http://nmerrycln647.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Resources for Youth Literature. Sunday, 29 September 2013. Before I discuss the topic this week I will post the questions and answers from the under 20 year old I interviewed. What are your favourite movies and why? I enjoy arthouse movies, I like the visual and musical stimuli present in these. Due to my interest in music I think arthouse movies is a perfect compliment to both genres sometimes basically like watching a really cool music video. Do you like to read? If so what do you like to read? New ban...

Resources for Youth Literature. Sunday, 27 October 2013. Week 13 Educational Gaming. Normally I would try for a topic that was completely different to the previous weeks one, but after playing a newly released game I couldn't help but discuss it. Is a game released just this week and is essentially Guitar Hero. Now this style of software could be seen as merely educational software, and Faster Than Light as more of a game and therefore it would be more interesting to discuss the educational merits of som...

CLN647: Week 12
http://nmerrycln647.blogspot.com/2013/10/week-12.html
Resources for Youth Literature. Sunday, 20 October 2013. For this weeks post I decided to play a video game and analyse the learning experiences within the game. I was also inspired by Ben Harkins post on the capabilities of modern games. The game I chose to play was Faster Than Light. A screenshot from Faster Than Light. This clearly means the game is much more difficult than a conventional game, persistence provides much greater satisfaction when you do succeed. I think it also fosters an attitude ...

CLN647: Week 11 - Pinterest
http://nmerrycln647.blogspot.com/2013/10/week-11-pinterest.html
Resources for Youth Literature. Saturday, 12 October 2013. Week 11 - Pinterest. Here is my pinterest board for this week:. Http:/ www.pinterest.com/nathanm88/cln647/. I decided to incorporate as much regarding youth popular culture as I could. This included music as well as popular culture that would appeal to slightly older audiences. For older viewers and Hannah Montana. For younger viewers. However it was easier to focus on something with a wider appeal such as the Hunger Games. Week 11 - Pinterest.

CLN647: Week 8 Blog: Recommended text.
http://nmerrycln647.blogspot.com/2013/09/week-8-blog-recommended-text.html
Resources for Youth Literature. Sunday, 15 September 2013. Week 8 Blog: Recommended text. For my resource I found an excellent book on popular culture in general called Re-reading popular culture. I also think one of the most important aspects to consider when analysing children's consumption of popular culture is that they don't only watch movies or play games that are aimed at them. It is limiting to only focus on "children's" texts. In the book Joke Hermes says it a lot better than I can:. Overall I t...
