    Today's Young Adult Literature: Bridges to the Classics - Presentation Transcript

    1. Today’s Young Adult Literature: Bridges to the classics & Stand-Alone readings
    2. We want our students to enjoy reading...
    3. That’s one of the International Reading Association/NCTE Standards 12. Students use spoken, written, and visual language to accomplish their own purposes (e.g., for learning, enjoyment, persuasion, and the exchange of information).
    4. So, what do your students read for PLEASURE?
    5. Odds are-- they read and enjoyed Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight series
    6. Can we use books like Twilight in our English Curriculum? with validity & authenticity
    7. We know that pairing texts with similar themes “works” I’m sure you can put any number of texts in this list
    8. We know that pairing texts with similar themes “works” • Romeo & Juliet with West Side Story I’m sure you can put any number of texts in this list
    9. We know that pairing texts with similar themes “works” • Romeo & Juliet with West Side Story • Hamlet with Siddhartha and Things Fall Apart I’m sure you can put any number of texts in this list
    10. We know that pairing texts with similar themes “works” • Romeo & Juliet with West Side Story • Hamlet with Siddhartha and Things Fall Apart • Julius Caesar with Animal Farm I’m sure you can put any number of texts in this list
    11. We know that pairing texts with similar themes “works” • Romeo & Juliet with West Side Story • Hamlet with Siddhartha and Things Fall Apart • Julius Caesar with Animal Farm • The Age of Innocence with Ethan Frome I’m sure you can put any number of texts in this list
    12. We know that pairing texts with similar themes “works” • Romeo & Juliet with West Side Story • Hamlet with Siddhartha and Things Fall Apart • Julius Caesar with Animal Farm • The Age of Innocence with Ethan Frome • The Scarlet Letter with Anna Karenina I’m sure you can put any number of texts in this list
    13. This is another NJCCCS • 3.1.12.H.9 Read and compare at least two works, including books, related to the same genre, topic, or subject and produce evidence of reading (e.g., compare central ideas, characters, themes, plots, settings) to determine how authors reach similar or different conclusions.
    14. By using popular coming of age literature like Twilight, students may be more likely to remain engaged and to find the applicability of canonical literature to their lives.
    15. But, how do we integrate Meyer’s Book into the curriculum?
    16. Can we find ways to work with these 4 Coming of Age texts?
    17. Let’s discuss this... as we try to cluster together several popular Coming of Age texts with the required, canonical & AP texts in our curriculum
