Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Based on a genre approach to literature, Essentials of Adolescent Literature offers a comprehensive, clear, and succinct overview of adolescent literature, includes recommended books listed by genre and topic, and provides clearly stated positions on current issues affecting schools and literature. Written by well-known authors Carl Tomlinson and Carol Lynch-Brown, this resource for teachers, librarians, and parents places emphasis on having adolescents read a wide variety of young adult literature and addresses all types and formats of literature including novels, short stories, graphic novels, and picture books for older readers. In addition, notable authors are featured in each genre chapter and multicultural and international literature is integrated throughout and treated more fully in its own chapter. Unique to the market, this long-awaited book also includes strong pedagogical chapters that provide practical strategies for connecting secondary school students with young adult books such as how to select books that students will read and enjoy, how to motivate resistant readers to read, and how to develop text sets for classroom study across the curriculum. Teachers will be equipped with the knowledge to use trade books as excellent teaching and learning materials and will not be limited to using textbooks alone. Finally, Dr. Tomlinson and Dr. Lynch-Brown engage readers by offering a thorough discussion of the major trends and issues affecting young adult literature, such as censorship, the literary canon, and accountability.

Biografía del autor:

Carl M. Tomlinson taught graduate and undergraduate courses in children's literature and language arts at Northern Illinois University. As an elementary school teacher, he packed his classroom with good children's books and read aloud to his students every day. His research interests are literature-based reading and international children's literature. In addition to Essentials of Young Adult Literature, he has co-authored Essentials of Children's Literature (Allyn and Bacon) and is the editor of Children's Books from Other Countries (Scarecrow/USBBY). Carol Lynch-Brown taught graduate and undergraduate courses in children's and young adult literature, reading, and language arts education at Florida State University. She was a teacher in elementary school, grades 1, 2, and 4, and in middle school, grades 6 to 8, in St. Paul and Minneapolis Public Schools. She also taught English to young adults in French public schools. Literature was the foundation of her instruction in all these classroom situations. She is currently raising a teenaged grandson and seeing, once again, the benefits of literature in a young person's life.
