 * Course Description **


 * Spring 2010**

This semester, students enrolled in the young adult course revised chapters from Joan Kaywell's Adolescent Literature as a Complement to the Classics. Their revisions not only updated the young adult literature used to complement canonical literature, but also they incorporated current supplemental resources, such as websites, musics, articles, and activities, to make learning relevant for students. **Please follow the links to access the chapter revisions:** =Catcher in the Rye:=
