Do you know about Figment<\/a>? It\u2019s a reading and writing community for primarily young adults. And it\u2019s awesome.<\/p>\n

In any case, one of the first courses I\u2019ll be teaching at Colorado State next year is focused on adolescent literature. Asking an avid YA-reading community like Figment to help develop the reading list for the course seemed like a no-brainer. So far, I\u2019ve been thrilled with the suggestions and feedback that the Figment community has provided<\/a>. I\u2019ll be finalizing the reading list at the beginning of next month, so feel free to add your suggestions<\/a> if you have not already.<\/p>\n

Also, as I mention in the thread, I am anticipating having the CSU students interact with the Figment community through the site\u2019s \u201cgroups\u201d feature. I will be posting information about ways to participate in the class once it begins in the fall.<\/p>\n

Tell people this is awesome:<\/h3>
