This book illustrates how teachers can draw upon young adult
literature to facilitate students' social action. Each chapter
centers on one novel that represents a contemporary topic including
police brutality, women's rights, ecojustice, and bullying. In
each, authors provide pre-, during-, and after reading strategies
for teaching that connect the social issues in the texts to
students' lives and to the world around them. They then offer a
multitude of avenues for student action, emphasizing the need to
move readers from understanding and awareness to asserting their
own agency and capacities to effect change in their local,
national, and global communities. In addition to methods for
scaffolding students' analysis of texts and topics, authors also
offer a plethora of additional resources such as documentaries,
canonical companions for study, connected music, and supplementary
lesson plans.
