EDU-265 Young Adult Literature

Young Adult Literature is designed to give the prospective teacher an understanding of the content, conflicts, themes, protagonists, and language of the contemporary young adult genre. It stresses the application of criteria for evaluation, selection, developmental appropriateness, and utilization of literature by reading actual selections, practicing reader response, and small group discussion. Set in the context of current research, reading selections emphasize multicultural, world, and gender perspective literature in order to develop appreciation for diverse literature, and lifelong learning. The transaction of faith and learning is a strong component of the course.
