Childrens Literature
Bethany Lutheran College | www.blc.edu
This course is a survey of fiction, biography, fantasy, folk tales, poetry, informational, and picture books for children from pre-kindergarten through middle school. Emphasis is placed on selections that consider the developmental needs of children. Identifying and critiquing books dealing with universal, cross-cultural, gender-fair and special needs themes, as well as evaluating content in the light of Christian principles is an integral part of the course. Attention is also given to exploring ways in which children can be encouraged to respond to literature and story telling in teaching. (Cross-listed with ENGL325.)
