Using children's and young adult literature is a great way to
improve a variety of college classes in fields as varied as
biology, computer game development, political science and history.
This collection of new essays by educators from a number of
disciplines describes how to use such works as Where the Wild
Things Are, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, Swamp Thing, Percy Jackson,
and Harry Potter to introduce complex concepts, spark interest in
difficult subjects and develop an understanding of how to teach to
college and upper high school students. The contributors describe
innovative teaching strategies using dystopian fiction, graphic
narratives, fairy tales and mythology. Often overlooked or
dismissed by teachers, children's literature can support student
learning by raising levels of academic rigor, creativity and
critical thinking.
