Children's Literature

Catalog description

Study of literature written for children. Readings may include both classic and contemporary selections with thematic-, period-, or genre-based contexts. Study is concerned with increasing student understanding of the development of criteria for the selection and evaluation of children's books as a genre of study, as well as with the interpretation of literature for children through various historical, theoretical, or genre-based lenses. The course may be repeated for credit if taken under a different emphasis. Prerequisite(s): ENGL 1301.<br/>
