Young Adult Lit & Identity
Young Adult Lit & Identity Grades 9-12 0.5 Credit
The goal of the Young Adult Literature and Identity course is for students to see themselves in the novels they read, analyze how authors craft character identities, build empathy for the world they interact in, and, ultimately, grow within their own identities. Students will read a wide variety of current YA novels of their choice that focus on identity/coming of age. Students will keep an ongoing journal throughout the semester to keep track of the development of their own stories/identities. The class will largely be structured through independent reading time, inquiry discussions, and project-based capstones.
