Young Adult Novels

Course description

 

  • Here we do a variety of young adult novels. Think of it like a book club with a writing component. Each book lasts about 5-6 classes and we discuss them from front to back. Some of the books that we do are Holes, Hatchet and Stargirl. This class is open to suggestions from students for future books as well.  We look at the theme, tone, setting, history, characters, plot, POV, dialogue, mood, characters, etc. to delve deep into literary analysis about each book. Also, we discuss the actual storyline and how to look at it through various analytical lenses. All in all, students will read at a higher level and be challenged to find meaning and read between the lines.
  • There also can be a writing component to this course. That will include essays in response to chapters about various themes, ideas, literary devices etc.

Student Learning Outcomes
