P608 Using Children’s & Adolescents’ Literature in Christian Faith Formation

This class will explore the rationale for using children’s books and adolescent literature in Christian faith formation as well as the process and criteria for evaluating and selecting books to use. Students will have the opportunity to practice various storytelling techniques and to develop a bibliography of children’s or adolescents’ literature based on a topic or theme of interest to them. Special attention will be given to the genre of fantasy fiction as a means to have conversations of faith with these age groups.
