SRJC English Department's Literature Offerings: Fall 2009 Literature Index: Children's Literature ENGLISH 12 Melissa Kort Monday 6-9 PM Santa Rosa HR> This class can be a lot of fun, given that we read kids’ books, look at the pictures, take field trips, and share our favorite memories of growing up reading. But it is also very serious, as it introduces a variety of critical approaches to a wide range of literature, from picture books for the very young to those which help adolescents face the end of childhood. Expect your fellow classmates to be future teachers, concerned parents, developing writers, English majors, and those with fond memories of the books that first shaped their minds. Bring your sense of wonder, your commitment to collaborative learning, your critical eye, and that little kid still thriving inside of you. A fresh reading list will develop over the summer; check for details at online.santarosa.edu. 3 units/3 hours lecture. CR/NC option. Prerequisite: Completion of ENGL 100 or higher (V8); OR completion of ESL 100. This course will study the history, development, and range of childrenÅ s literature, from folklore and oral tradition to contemporary stories, illustrated books, poetry, and juvenile novels. Texts will be drawn from many cultures, and they will be analyzed from a variety of critical perspectives. (CSU/UC) AA/AS area E; CSU area C2; IGETC area 3B
