Joanna - Your review made me put this book at the top of my to-be-read pile! I was looking for my next read :) (Nicole)

Joanna, your review of this book was fantastic. It certainly seems to touch upon several different issues facing YAs in school and events that are occurring all too frequently in real life. This is certainly going on my reading list. -Amy

Hi Joana, I loved your book talk, you gave a great overview of the lst book in the series and you went into great depth in the second book, Catching Fire. You really brought the characters, setting and drama into sharp focus and built the tension for book 3-thanks! BJ Neary

What a powerful video..you really feel the emptiness of the school, the anguish and grief or the students. Also the cold steel of the gun is very powerful.....the sound trac is one of my favoriteed. thanks LizAnne

DBT #3- "The First Part Last" by: Angela Johnson http://www.glogster.com/jroming/-the-first-part-last-by-angela-johnson/g-6l597f644gft2s1vh0uafa0

Joanna, I like the corkboard motif…it seems like the characters in //The First Part Last// had a lot of life-altering events that they may or may not want to remember. The video in the center was cool too...it made me sad, which I think proves that you successfully created emotional appeal…it made me care enough about the characters that I would read it. ~Erica

Joanna, I agree with Erica. This trailer really captures the feeling of the book. The pictures and captions gave just enough intrigue. They told just enough of the story without giving the rest away. I really enjoyed your song choice as well. Awesom trailer!-Turea

Joana, I just loved this Glogster; you captured Bobbi, Feather and Nia's relationships with the video, the Bobby's pin board (great idea!!!) of memories and the text you provided was perfect, too. Great job! BJ Neary

__ [] __ Joana, this book talk was right on about how teens can relate to the YA authors who were teens and had many of the same experiences teens have today. Good job, BJ Neary
