This book offers revolutionary approaches to in-class discussions
about young adult literature. It shows teachers how to think more
widely than the themes of a book to consider how they might operate
as prayers of lament, yearning, anger, confession, thankfulness,
reconciliation, joy, obedience, pilgrimage, contemplation, and
equanimity. It also offers a variety of ways for classroom
discussion to consider a representative sentence or two from a
young adult novel, and from that allow students to connect to
linked passages in the rest of the novel. These approaches for
classroom discussion are drawn from a variety of contemplative
traditions, including Jewish and Christian faith traditions and
include florilegium, lectio divina, PaRDeS, Ignatian Imagination,
havruta, and marginalia. Drawing from a range of in-class
experiences, the authors explain each approach in the context of
twelve popular and critically interesting young adult novels
including The Hate U Give, Long Way Down, Speak, The Poet X, The
Fault in our Stars, Brown Girl Dreaming, and others. This book will
transform discussions that are disconnected from the book, lacking
in relevance, or missing the energy that drives good conversation
into meaningful and energetic class discussions that students and
teachers alike will value.
