Articles About Children's Literature
Electronic
Collaboration: Children's Literature in the Classroom (http://www.readingonline.org/electronic/elec_index.asp?HREF=/electronic/RT/9-99RT.html)
This is an article I wrote based on a project I conducted with a graduate level
Children's Literature class. The purpose of this project was to explore the
potential of electronic discussion to increase students' breadth and depth of
thinking about issues in complex children's literature. Another goal was for
teachers to extend their experience into the classroom by engaging their own
students in similar projects.
