EDTE 5240 - Literature for Children and Adolescents
This course builds on the foundational knowledge acquired in undergraduate children’s literature courses to focus on diversity in literature for P-12 students. Understanding the components of children’s literature (e.g., genre, voice, character development), students in this course critically evaluate their knowledge and use of diverse literature with P-12 students. Students learn more about the diversity that does (and does not) exist in literature for young students, and read and evaluate literature that brings attention to diversity of race, ethnicity, religion, gender identity, sexual identity, socioeconomic status, familial status, ability, and mental health.
