LIT 275 - The Novel Approach to Language Arts

Credits: 3 (3-0)

Offers methods and techniques of developing a language arts unit based on an age/grade appropriate novel. Novels provide a means for exploration that involves critical and creative thinking and enrich the reading experiences of children. This instructional method revolves around student discussion groups that enable children to learn to listen and to share points of view, ideas, and feelings. Student activities are developed utilizing Bloom’s Taxonomy of Cognition and are interchangeable with additional titles (novels) or basal reading series. Prerequisite(s): LIT 255 and ENG 121.
