Intro

Thanks for the introduction! Good luck with your assignment this semester. Bburk (talk) 11:42, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

A userbox

User:Koavf/Userboxes/Litbox You may have noticed this rectangle has been placed on your userpage:

IUPUI coursepage for Adolescent Lit

This is called a userbox and there are a variety of them that you can add to your userpage to express your interests, political values, dietary preferences, etc. You are not required to have one and there is virtually no limit to how many you can have.

I have placed this on your userpage because your instructor has informed me that some of you have had difficulty remembering or finding your coursepage. This link will be right here on your userpage unless you decide to remove it (which you can do at any time.) If you ever forget how to get to your class resources, just click on your username up in the top-right of the screen and you'll be just one more click away.

If you need to reach me (one of your two Campus Ambassadors), my contact information is here: User:Koavf/CA.

Please remember to pace yourself and be aware that 90% of writing a good article is well-formed prose and citing your sources. Anything extraneous or technical is where I can be of assistance. (And if you need help editing your prose or finding sources, I can try to give a hand there as well.)

I hope you all have a good day and a productive semester. I'll see some of you this coming Wednesday and any of you if you wish to schedule a time to meet. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 16:55, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Speak and Laurie Halse Anderson Wikipedia Pages

Thanks for the advice for the Speak article, Bookworm1989. I agree with you, I've been looking through sources, seeing what is out there that I can incorporate into the article. I found some stuff on the symbolism and censorship/reception of Speak. I'll try to help you with the Laurie Halse Anderson article too.EmWriter90 (talk) 18:22, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Helpful Sources for Laurie Halse Anderson Page

I found a book that might help you with the Laurie Halse Anderson page. Its called Laurie Halse Anderson: Speaking in Tounges. If you look it up on books.google.com, you can preview most of the book(some of the pages are left out, but there is enough to get useful information out of). There is another source, http://galenet.galegroup.com.proxy2.ulib.iupui.edu/servlet/LitCrit/iulib_iupui/FJ1491750002. You will have to enter your student log info, then it will tell you you can't access the page. But, just go to the home page of the website and search Laurie Halse Anderson. This book has some helpful bio info as well as info about her novels. Hope this helps. EmWriter90 (talk) 22:04, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
