“This course allows students to utilize Language Arts skills to investigate and evaluate the value and purpose of world literature for children and adolescents. Students synthesize their knowledge of the developmental stages of physical, intellectual, social, and emotional (PIES) development with their understanding of appropriate teaching materials and readings for each of the stages (will be addressed in each unit). In addition, students evaluate how familial and cultural influences affect the themes and development of child and adolescent literature and why those themes are crucial to the educational progress of children and adolescents. Students conduct research, closely read and analyze complex texts, evaluate the components of effective child and adolescent literature, create a digital portfolio (e-portfolio) of original work, and maintain a reflective log/notebook.”
