| Description: | Time Magazine's claim that "168体育平台下载_足球即时比分-注册|官网're living in a golden age of young adult literature" is evidenced in the wide demographic range of readers YA books attract and in the number of popular film and limited series shows based on YA books produced in recent years. In this course students will delve into this vibrant and evolving genre that reflects the complexities of adolescence and young adulthood. Reading a variety of YA subgenres (e.g., dystopian, fantasy, historical, contemporary), students will examine themes such as identity, belonging, resilience, race, class, and social justice. Together students will explore the historical context of YA literature, its cultural significance, its impact on young readers, and YA's place in middle and high school curriculums. |
