LIT 282 - Child & Young Adult Literature

4 Credit(s)
Students survey literature for children and young adults. A critical student learning outcome is an understanding of the development in the 19th and 20th centuries of literature for youth as a distinct literary category. Students compare past works with diverse present-day content and forms, including novels, Native American literature, poetry, film and play scripts, picture books, graphic novels, periodicals, and computer games. Classic and award-winning materials are emphasized. Students develop an understanding of oral and folk traditions that preceded print and electronic publication, including indigenous oral traditions. Each student completes a reflective reading journal and an individualized research project. Students are assessed on the breadth of their reading, and the depth of oral and written presentations. Experiential learning activities include small group work, guided library research, and peer editing.
