SPAN 220: Literatura Infantil y Juvenil

This course provides multiple approaches to the literary production for children and young adults in Spain. Students acquire the tools for potential teaching uses of literature written for a younger target audience. The social and cultural contexts of the included works create the foundation for our study. Students develop the critical thinking skills necessary for expression of their analyses of the texts they read. Children's and Young Adult Literature of Spain is taught in entirely Spanish with a limited number of bilingual and/or English readings.
