I am very familiar with older adolescent literature, but it's been a while since teaching the younger grades. I know that CL is a window into the lives and experiences of our students, which is a valuable tool when teaching any subject.

You can use Children's Literature for writing and reading lessons. It's typical to use CL in reading workshops with read clouds. It can even be used for social studies and science lessons to discuss topics and concepts. I have even seen CL for math.

I know that children’s literature can be applied across all subject areas to engage students and to help them in starting formulating ideas about the context they are learning.

I know Children’s Literature can address any and all topics and make those topics accessible to younger readers.

CL is used to connect our students to new worlds, new experiences and new ideas. CL should be inspiring and thought-provoking, yet entertaining and engaging. Read alouds, as a special education teacher, is imperative to connecting reluctant readers to text. Now, audiobooks are something I use a lot, as well.

Children's literature is a way to broaden children's perspectives and schemas. It also provides an entertaining and safe way to discuss universal emotions/topics that are difficult to experience and address. It helps to build bridges between experiences.

I’ve used CL with students both in the classroom and as a summer tutor. I also took a course here called Creative Writing for Children’s and YA Literature which was informative about the inner workings of CL.

During student teaching, I used CL in reader's workshop during read a louds or morning meetings

Children's Literature can be used for many different areas of learning and can be used for all ages. CL can be used to introduce and discuss sensitive topics. CL can be used in all content areas.

I love to use CL during read alouds to bond with a class or practice literacy skills taught during lessons

I'm very excited to learn how to create text sets (my first experience with this was through your last course). I want the autonomy to do this independently, and not rely on a "program" or "boxed product" to do it for me.

I hope that I can use the knowledge from this course to build a meaningful and useful classroom library. I want to be knowledgable enough to recommend meaningful books to students of all reading levels.

I want to learn more about vetting the books, as it is overwhelming to me, the shear amount of literature available.

I hope to gain a better understanding of how to analyze and apply CL in a classroom setting, both to utilize a text(s) to teach on a topic but also to encourage a love of reading.

I’ve used Children’s Literature to engage my students in various subject matters, to show them various writing styles and narrative voices, to influence their own writing voices, and to expose them to concepts and ideas that may be foreign to them.  Read-alouds are also important for building a classroom community.

Although it is a children's literature course, I will look forward to how to best apply this to YAL.

I'd like to use what I learn from this class to choose the right book for a certain topic

How to combat students losing their love of reading because they are asked to answer questions about a text? I’ve found (across grade levels and in my own experience as a student) that when a book becomes a “school book” it loses all appeal.

I have used CL to engage students in interactive read alouds, reading and writing mini lessons and when learning about Black History Month.

I hope to learn how to pick children’s literature that is relevant to particular subject matters or topics and how to use read-alouds to better engage my students in my lessons, the school/classroom community, and to inspire students to just love reading in general.

My personal goals for this course is to learn how to choose books that are relevant to the content area and the learning standard. I also want to build my CL library of different books that I can use in my classroom.

1. What are 102/097 candidates
2. Is it allowed if students pick the same professional text book? Or must every student choose a different book?

I am excited to learn ways to create text sets and to introduce my students to more CL.

If we come back later in life as a 102/097 candidate, would we need to retake this course?
