Objective
Use Google Books to take virtual stock of the numerous books that we have read from various genres.
Reflection
By completing this assignment of creating a Self Selected Virtual Library, I learned how to use an app that I never even touched before. At first, I was somewhat intimidated by
Google Books because there were so many different features that I had to familiarizwe myself with. In the future I know I could provide students the link to my Google Books page and assign them books from a certian shelf on there. I could create a bookshelf for fun or for specific units that we cover in class. My favorite book on the list is The Walking Dead: Compendium 1. This collection of comic books changed what I thought about graphic novels and comics. I also learned what to look for while reading these types of books and built up my visual literacy skills. My least favorite book in my virtual library is Anthem by Ayn Rand. I was 14 when I read it and I did not fully understand the theme or message of the book; I feel that if I were to read it again, I would have a better understanding. With my future classes I would use historical fiction or literature representing diverse populations to accompany another lesson.
