Restorying Young Adult Literature - James Joshua Coleman - Bog

The digital era presents countless opportunities to read, write, and interpret young adult literature through a contemporary lens. Building upon NCTE's 2018 Preparing Teachers with Knowledge of Children's and Young Adult Literature position statement, the authors of this book spotlight how teachers and students can use digital tools and technologies to re-read, re-write, and restory young adult literature today. This book offers:
Teaching approaches to integrate shifts in textuality in the ELA classroom;
Helpful resources for using participatory digital networks in classrooms; and
Strategies for restorying text selection with an eye toward multimodality, digital access, cultural diversity, and social justice.
The authors propose digital young adult literature and digital young adult culture as conceptual tools from which teachers can learn effective digital restorying practices. The result is young adult literature instruction that is more engaging and just.
