| Class Description | This informational or nonfiction literature is often overlooked in studies of youth literature. In this course we will consider the many literary qualities of nonfiction literature published for children aged ten to eighteen. You will have the opportunity to read both good and bad examples of nonfiction literature, and examine how the review media evaluate such books. We will examine a variety of types of nonfiction, and by the end of the semester the class as a whole will work collaboratively online to develop a list of best nonfiction books. Prerequisites: experience in a children's literature course is strongly recommended; experience using email and basic World Wide Web searching techniques, your own reliable Internet account, and the hardware and software required for an online course. Sessions: this course is offered online asynchronously; |
