三、教學目標 Objectives
GOALS
-To become critical readers.
-To be able to converse and write critically about children’s literature.
-To articulate and modify your own framework for understanding children’s literature and culture.
Objectives
-To understand the basic conventions of children’s literature.
-To understand the basic genres within of children’s literature.
-To challenge common assumptions about children’s literature.
-To learn important vocabulary for discussing children’s literature.
-To understand and work with divergent viewpoints about and within children’s literature.
-To learn about authors in conjunction with their works.

This is a literature class, so we will be reading, thinking, discussing, and writing about the books we read from a critical literary perspective. We will not focus on how to use books with children; rather, we will investigate the messages communicated in the literature and how the messages are conveyed. It is important to continually challenge yourself to ask provoking questions and see the texts from fresh perspectives. As we question the assumptions of the authors, cultures, and consumers involved in the production of the texts we read, it is also important to analyze our own assumptions about life, literature, and childhood. We'll glimpse the wide range of genres encompassed within children's literature and pay attention to their separate and overlapping conventions.

This class combines lecture, small group work, and large group discussion. This is your class and much of the responsibility for making the class interesting is yours. It is supremely important to say what you think while respecting and considering contrary viewpoints. The most engaging classes are those where students participate actively and share a wide variety of ideas. Additionally, I encourage you to bring in or refer to additional books, newspaper/magazine articles, movies, or any other information that may be relevant to what we are discussing in class.

We will put a heavy emphasis on ways that stories are told and how the telling influences the ways readers read. In order to read critically, readers must maintain a certain distance from the text, yet the most obvious pleasures of reading come from being closely engaged with stories. How can readers see past the obvious messages of stories to form intelligent opinions about the issues those stories raise while still enjoying the story, and what can/do authors do to help this process? How can stories be told in such a way that they invite readers to both use their minds critically and be closely connected to the story?
