EN 222 - Contemporary Adolescent Literature
Credit(s): 3
Adolescent or Young Adult (YA) Literature (and media) is written and intended for adolescents and framed within a rich literary, historical, and social context. In this class, we will explore this highly popular, often trivialized, canon and examine the impact these texts have on our education, culture, and ideologies. Together we will broaden our understanding of the richness of this genre and its place in the literary canon. Through multiple modes, students will better understand the topics, styles, themes, and issues common to YA literature and media, as well as the different subgenres available to young adult readers and viewers. We will examine the purpose of writing for adolescents will considering why so many of these texts are challenged and/or labeled controversial. Recommended for all Education majors, especially language arts students.
