LMIS 350 Young Adult Literature and Media
Cross-listed with ENGL 350. Provides a survey of middle-level and young adult literature and media from all genres and forms, including a balance of nonfiction to support educational standards. Covers classic and contemporary works, with attention to works about diverse populations (e.g., ethnicity, race, socio‐economic status, gender, exceptionalities, language, religion, and sexual orientation), historical ties, and global perspectives. Students will engage with literary theory to select, interpret, and evaluate works, based on young adult needs and interests; students will also practice literature appreciation and engagement strategies.
