ENGL 2980, Children’s Literature, is a hybrid 3-hour course that
fulfills the requirement for either ENGL 3820, Literature for the Young Child
or ENGL 3830, Literature for the Intermediate Reader. The course allows students to study
children’s literature from a variety of critical and culturally diverse
perspectives, working with books and films that would be suitable for use in
K-8 classrooms.
Students in Children’s Literature will be part of a dynamic learning environment, where they will attend lectures and engage in discussion. The majority of students’ grades will come from periodic quizzes and exams.
