ED 219 - Adolescent Literature

3 Credit Hours
Prerequisite: EN 102.
Lecture Hrs. 3

This course emphasizes the reading and evaluation of literature written for and by young adults (middle, junior, and senior high school students). By analyzing reading resources, the reading interests, and developmental needs of adolescents and by classroom observations of reading/literature instruction, the student will develop the ability to help students to select literature for independent reading and guide them in analyzing group reading choices. Strategies to stimulate reading for information and for pleasure will include the reading of a wide variety of adolescent literature reflecting cultural, ethnic, social and sex role differences in a multicultural society.
