Teaching Character Education through Literature

Awakening the Moral Imagination in Secondary Classrooms

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Fictional characters' struggles are of interest to students as they strive to set a course for their own life journey and make their own choices, and in doing so give consideration to the kind of person they would like to become. This book will show how you can help your pupils to more fruitfully examine literary characters' choices and commitments within the contexts of the novels they read, and in a way that respects the integrity of the story, embraces the complexity of a character's moral growth, and responds to the developmental readiness of the adolescent reader.
