Literacy Moves On- Chapters 6-10

This read was interesting to me because my mom and I use to collect beanie babies. and it talked about the beanie baby fad. This was interesting to me because I think that my students would really like to learn about things like this in the classroom. Learning through beanie babies!? How fun! I would have loved to look at the beanie baby fad when i was a student and try to find out why this fad happened and what the marketers did to make this such a big deal! I fell for it hook line and sinker because I have a closet of over 1000 beanie babies that are now worthless. So even now as an adult I would like to take a look at this and see how they made simple stuffed animals worth so much!
