Children's Literature for Native Speakers

This course teachers you how to create stories and what decisions authors and publishers are really making when it comes to content and values as portrayed in stories. In this course you will write stories, develop critical literacy skills, and explore dozens of texts from around the world, published in the last two centuries. We will also examine the politics of children’s literature and discuss Indigenous storytelling.
The course is offered at two levels – ESL speakers and native-English speakers. The course is highly recommended for any current or future parents who want to learn more about the literature available to their children, how to select ‘good’ literature, and what controls the government has on educational resources.
