Class DescriptionFrom picture books to teen novels, from history to folktale, this course will examine the voices of women and girls as they tell their own stories and as stories are told about them. We will work from a list of titles, most published within the past five years, and will read and discuss some of them together and some as individual projects. The emphasis in the course will be on reading widely and on intense engagement with the texts. Students will have the opportunity to create book lists, book talks, and/or Web pages to explore their interpretations of this literature. Prerequisites: experience in a children's literature course is strongly recommended; your own reliable Internet account; and the hardware and software required for an online course (see Technical Requirements at http://ecollege.rutgers.edu). Sessions: this course is offered online asynchronously; class runs late January 19th through May 10th. Instructor: GraceAnne DeCandido 3 cr. Enrollment limit: 20.
