Variations on a Theme
Young Adult Literature as its namesake seems determined to "beat out its own rhythm." The challenge to the English Language Arts teacher is how to create the conditions for teens to find a place for literature in their journeys while they march to the beat of a different drummer.

Session Overview
Essential Question: What is Young Adult Literature and how can we make the most of it in the education of young adults?

It's a good time to look at our motivations for including Young Adult Literature in the English Language Arts program and consider how we can provide appropriate Young Adult books for all children.

In this session, you will participate in a live seminar to culminate our Collaborative Critical Inquiry on the Promise and Peril of Young Adult Literature.
