Genre: Contemporary Realistic Fiction / Problem Novel Character: “regular” people, often lower class Setting: difficult living situation Language: colloquial (often with profanity & bad grammar) Content: problems/challenges faced by teens Attitude: goal is to allow vicarious experience (rather than, say, to provide instruction in manners and morals)

Genre: Contemporary Realistic Fiction / Problem Novel

counterbalance to realism (happy endings) generally involves a quest/leaving home protagonist undergoes trials, but prevails extreme sufferings (nightmare quality) unlikely successes (happy daydream quality) Genre: Romanticism

What is our responsibility with respect to what students read from the class or school library?

Genre: Dystopias Key elements: “a setting so vividly and clearly described that it becomes almost a character in itself” “individuals or forces in charge who have a legitimate reason for being as they are” “protagonists who are shaped by their environment and situations” “a conclusion that reflects the almost always dire circumstances” (These characteristics could be useful measures by which to evaluate the quality of a work.)

Dystopian Novels

Why do we teach “classic” dystopian novels? What standards do we meet? What goals do we have? How might YA novels compare, in terms of accomplishing the same goals or eliciting the same kinds of thinking and writing? Dystopian Novels

Historical Fiction Why do we teach history? What might students learn from fiction that’s worthwhile – and maybe not accessible from textbooks or fact-intensive texts?
