Purposeful text selection and meaningful inclusion of diverse stories can have a powerful, positive impact on children’s reading lives when we attempt to make sure that every child is reflected in books and that every child can understand the experiences of other people by reading books. This course focuses on the importance of diverse children’s literature. It celebrates the various experiences and identities of children and adults alike, while inspiring and fostering a love of reading. CE-LIT 2039, 6 Weds., Sept. 18-Oct. 23, 5:00-6:00 pm, $80. M Duncan. #98185 Healing Minds and Hearts in Writing Writing is an empowering tool that frees minds and hearts. Writing has the power to heal, to create a connection with self and with others through ideas, thoughts and sharing of emotions. The “work-shopping” process invites writing as a recursive process in which writing stamina is built, writing goals are examined, and the process is shared. Writers will engage in experiential writing, set writing goals, and will create shorter structured pieces and a longer piece as a culminating activity.
