- Title
Adolescent Activism: Teaching Experiential Literacy with Young Adult Literature and Global Perspectives.
- Authors
Stowe, Chelsea
- Abstract
Project-based learning enhances student-motivation as it allows them to be in-charge of their learning experience. Ninth graders in a cross-disciplinary course (English and World History) use the theme of adolescent activism from young adult literature and the skill of collaboration from a study of ancient civilizations to propose a service-learning opportunity in their community. This essay explores how incorporating experiential pedagogy gives students the chance to make a difference in the community around them while also combatting global issues. Specific instructional strategies to be used for project or culture development are included.
