When Loss Gets Personal considers how secondary English language
arts teachers and teacher educators can sensitively and
thoughtfully teach pieces of literature in their classrooms in
which death is a significant, if not central, aspect of the texts.
Death is something that affects all people young and old, yet it is
rarely discussed openly in classrooms despite its prevalence in
texts read in ELA classrooms. Whether it is canonical or
contemporary literature, middle grades or young adult literature,
fiction, nonfiction, or graphic novels, literature provides a
vehicle to have difficult but needed conversations about personal
deaths such as cancer, accidents, suicide, etc. Each chapter in
this book focuses on 1-2 texts and provides practical activities
that ask students to engage with the loss through writing
assignments, projects, activities, and discussion prompts in order
to build empathy, understanding, and develop critically-minded and
engaged students. When Loss Gets Personal will be of interest to
English language arts teachers, teacher educators, librarians, and
scholars who wish to explore with their students the complex
emotions that revolve around discussing deaths that occur in
literature.
