What are genres? Which genres are important to children's literature? Science Fiction? Fantasy? Is all of children's literature a genre? Well...there are no easy answers here! During this class we will explore and debate these concerns. We will also think about why all of this matters. In the mean time I would like you to explore a couple of small links that will inform our debate.
1) Two children's literature critics demonstrate how children's literature might be a genre
2) Genres in the classical sense (the way you will see them in libraries)
Next week we will be signing up for genre presentations. As you read through the genres, please think about few that interest you. I'll ask you to get together with groups next week and the presentations will occur during the two classes that follow.
