TEACHING READING IN MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL WITH YOUNG ADULT LITERATURE

Catalog description

Through reading, young adults have the opportunity to reflect on their lives and to consider diverse cultures, time periods, and experiences. Readers can recognize themselves or grow to know someone, something, or someplace quite different. This course supports the pre-service Integrated Language Arts educator in learning how to plan and implement reading experiences, specifically focused on young adult literature and its instructional uses in middle school and high school language arts classrooms. This class will place an emphasis on the reading process and the foundations of reading for middle and high school students.
