Complete Promise and Peril of Young Adult Literature Collaborative Critical Inquiry by reading, blogging, commenting on colleagues' blogs, and actively participating in the live class seminar.

Audio files can be created with SoundCloud and uploaded to your blog. Also, Eyejot is a cool and easy video tool. Don't forget to tag and tweet!

Prompts and Readings
It's time to question our assumptions and consider tough questions about what is Young Adult Literature and why, how, and when literature can make a difference. Read the assigned articles/chapters and then blog about these questions or similar ones inspired by the reading that resonate with you: Post early so you can make your contribution to our group’s thinking. We’ll build on this collective wisdom during our live seminar.

 * On the literary to moralist continuum, where do I fall? How should my belief in how literature affects the reader guide my teaching and learning through literature with young adults?
 * What should be the role of Young Adult Literature in the English Language Arts program?
