Love Hurts, Lit Helps

How English Class Can Teach Teens to Improve Their Relationships, Friendships, and Communities

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Through discussions of literature, this book outlines how English class can empower teens weathering social turbulence. Novels brim with lessons about love, heartbreak, sexuality, and belonging. Learning to tell stories, reflect, and argue gives students tools for self-expression and empathy in a world that often feels bereft of compassion.
