Literature for Young Adults.

Catalog description

Semester course; 3 lecture hours (delivered online, face-to-face or hybrid). 3 credits. The central question is: How can we teach secondary school students to be active readers of good texts (e.g., good young adult literature)? The main purposes of the course are (a) to read and evaluate different kinds of young adult literature, (b) to examine methods of teaching reading, and (c) to examine methods of teaching emergent multilingual learners. Note for teacher preparation students: TEDU 548 focuses on teaching writing and grammar and working with students with disabilities.
