MEE 7636 Fine Arts & Literature for Children and Adolescents

Students examine literature for its own sake and its relationship to art, music, drama, and dance. Knowledge of literature and fine arts and how to incorporate them effectively in an integrated curriculum are the major focus. Students are required to prepare a lesson plan that demonstrates the use of fine arts as a cognitive or affective remedial technique. Students are also required to read and study a minimum of 40 books appropriate for children and adolescents. Another focus of this course is the variety of texts available and strategies for selecting and evaluating all materials for instruction.
