Conduct research on current issues and trends in children’s literature. An excellent article to get you started is What’s Trending in Children’s Literature and Why It Matters found in the University Library Resources. Consider websites such as Scholastic’s OOM (On Our Minds) Blog, the American Library Association, and Reading Rockets as you perform your research.

Reflect and respond to the information you gathered by including the following bullets in your response. Be sure you are discussing trends/issues in literature and not trends/issues in society. Your response should be a minimum of 200 words.

  • Provide a brief summary of the information you gathered as background for answering the questions.
  • Do any of the trends or issues found in children’s literature surprise you?
  • Which trends or issues in children’s literature have you already observed or experienced firsthand?
  • Which trends in children’s literature do you view as positive? Which trends do you view as negative? Why?

  • How might they impact your students?
