Rochester Community and Technical College

Subject:

Description:

This course serves as an introduction to the traditions of and issues within children's literature, as well as to the literature itself. Books for children approximately ages 0-12 will be surveyed in terms of text, illustrations, and multi-media interpretations; standards and criteria for evaluating good literature will evolve through reading, discussion, research, and writing. A variety of literature will be explored in the areas of fantasy, realistic fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. A common thread will be equity and inclusion, with a focus on representation: who tells the stories for children, about whom, and how. (Prerequisites: None. Other Requirements: None.)
