I am very excited about the the text project that I am working on. Last semester, I learned how much I love reading creative biographies- I think that they are absolutely wonderful. I used to think that biographies were simply books that listed the important events in a person's life, but I have learned that they can be so much more than that. Last year in our Children's Literature class, I made a list of "Must Have" books for my classroom library, and the vast majority of the books that I wrote down are biographies. I guess you could say that it is one of the elements of literature that I am passionate about. I love the idea that it is a way to address both literature and history in one topic. When Alix and I went to check out books, we found so many different types of biographies that were both informational and engaging. We found biographies  that were told from the perspective of the person, from the perspective of the person's daughter, through the use famous quotes, illustrations, and so many other creative ways to get to the information across. This project has simply further confirmed my passion about this element of literature, and I am extremely confident that I will consistently use these types of texts in my classroom.
