Today I gave a lesson on children's literature. We read a number of examples and I explained to students several essential elements of children's lit (e.g. the point of view most often used, the kinds of conflicts, the parallel structure often used). Two handouts were given out that summarized my main points.
Homework: a half page rough copy of the story will be due for Wednesday's class.
Students were also encouraged to begin reading part 2 of 1984. I will be going over and discussing the first part of Part 2 on Monday.
