Queer Adolescent Literature as a Complement to the English Language Arts Curriculum (Second edition)

This text offers secondary ELA educators guided instructional approaches for including queer-themed young adult (YA) literature in the English language arts classroom.

Each chapter spotlights the reading of one queer-themed YA novel, and offers pre-, during-, and after reading activities that guide students to a deeper understanding of the content while increasing their literacy practices.

While each chapter focuses on a specific queer-themed YA novel, readers will discover the many opportunities for cross-disciplinary study.

Thw emphasis on English language arts content as a focus for teaching LGBTQ young adult literature marks a shift from the first edition.
