Summer College finale – Friday August 14, 2009
The School of Education’s two week Summer College for High School students program facilitated by Marcelle Haddix, assistant professor of reading & language arts, will conclude tomorrow, August 14, with a community exhibition of students’ digital stories and interactive media presentations about teaching texts from contemporary children’s and adolescent authors. Family, teachers and library specialists from the greater Syracuse area, and members of the Syracuse University School of Education community are all invited to be present at 1:00 PM in the Nottingham High School library for this special event.
The Summer College course, Teaching Children’s and Adolescent Literature is an undergraduate level course designed to familiarize students with the field of children’s and adolescent literature and to provide a variety of tools and strategies for the effective teaching of literature. In two weeks, students learned and implemented innovative methods for teaching literature to children and adolescents, and had opportunity to do so in both classroom and practical experiences.
