Literature and Story-Telling for Children and Adolescents

This course will familiarize future teachers with the categories and characteristics of children's books (traditional literature, contemporary realistic fiction, historical fiction, mystery, and science fiction, etc.), the methods and materials for using children's books in the urban classroom (story-telling, puppetry, etc.) and the historical and social implications of these books. Students will spend a great deal of time examining and discussing these books.
