ED 2450 - Literature in the Classroom

(3)
This course provides a survey of children and young adult literature and aims at expanding levels of literacy for teachers and their prospective students. Students consider various genres of literature as well as award winning books for children. While reading widely in this rich contemporary and classical body of work, particular attention is given to criteria for selection and evaluation of literature for the classroom. Books with alternative views of childhood, families, and diversity are examined.
