In LS5603: Literature for Children and Young Adults, Literacy Matters cohort students read and evaluated a variety of current books published for children and young adults. They selected works by various prominent authors in each of the major types and genres of literature for young people. Then they read and evaluated each book based on literary elements, appeal to children, and relevant educational uses. They consult professional review sources, note awards won, and suggest related activities appropriate for children. These reviews were posted on original blogs created by each student. Their blogs are public and accessible by the world at large. Even the authors of some of the books students have reviewed have contacted the students to comment on their reviews.
