From Hinton to Hamlet: Building Bridges between Young Adult Literature and the Classics
by Sarah K. Herz, Donald R. Gallo. 127 pgs.

Book

Read Synopsis [+]

Hide Synopsis [-]

The literary classics that are traditionally required in grades 7-12 are often too complex and removed from adolescent experience. This highly readable guide, from a classroom teacher and one of the nation's leading authorities on young adult literature, shows teachers and school librarians how to use young adult literature as a bridge to the classics to help students become more critical and enthusiastic readers. Innovative thematic connectors link quality young adult novels, many of them multicultural, to the 12 most frequently taught works of literature. Extensive annotated lists of additional works of young adult literature complement each of these 12 classics. Herz and Gallo also show how young adult books can be incorporated into other subject classes.

Reflections of Change: Children's Literature since 1945 (Chap. 15 "The Journey Inward: Adolescent Literature in America, 1945-1995")
by Sandra L. Beckett. 203 pgs.

Book

Read Synopsis [+]

Hide Synopsis [-]

Over the past fifty years, children's literature has freed itself of many traditional restrictions and has become a field of exciting innovations in both form and content. The new status of children's literature has been accompanied by an unprecedented growth in research on children's literature internationally. This volume explores the many changes that have taken place in the past half-century in children's literature, showing how those changes reflect our rapidly-changing world and attempt to prepare children for the new millennium. Among the issues discussed are the shifting boundaries between children's literature and adult literature, postmodern trends, paradigm shifts, national literatures, and the reconceptualization of the past.

Using Literature to Help Troubled Teenagers Cope with Identity Issues
by Jeffrey S. Kaplan. 216 pgs.

Book

Read Synopsis [+]

Hide Synopsis [-]

The search for one's identity is an ancient quest reflected throughout history in stories where human glory and conquest are often layered with great pain and self doubt, meant to help people discover themselves and who they are. Today, this quest is found prevalently in young adult novels, where characters wrestle with modern dilemmas in order to find themselves. This reference resource provides a link for teachers, media specialists, parents, and other adults to those novels and how to use them effectively. Educators and therapists explore the literature where common identity issues are addressed in ways intriguing to teens. Using fictional characters, these experts provide guidance on how to encourage adolescents to cope while improving their reading and writing skills.
