ENGL 2298 - Young Adult Literature

Institution:

Rochester Community and Technical College

Subject:

Description:

This course is a study of literature written for and read by young adults, approximately between the ages of 12-18. In addition to examining characteristics of literary genres within young adult literature, students will consider current market trends and how literature for young adults is used as a basis for other artistic forms, such as film and other media. Students will study specific works of literature, both classic and contemporary and become familiar with the application of young adult literature in middle and secondary school curricula by activities such as preparing lesson plans, study guides, discussion questions, and writing assignments. Students will consider the developmental stage we call adolescence, whether this stage has changed significantly with recent societal changes, and how literature may reflect and/or support those changes. College level reading and writing is recommended. (Prerequisites: None).
