YA Wednesday Nov. 12, 2014

This is one of those weeks that is so busy that YA Wednesday has been pushed to Friday (Okay, late Friday). Many of us who teach English Education and YA literature courses are getting prepared for the Annual Conference of the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) and the ALAN Workshop that follows. We are putting final touches on presentations, making sure our students know what to do without us, and planning our schedule for the conference. One of my great privileges is the opportunity to serve on the NCTE's Executive Committee of the Conference on English Education (CEE). The CEE group participates in a number of worthy endeavors on behalf of the NCTE in general and members of CEE specifically. Among their responsibilities they sponsor several commissions. The commission I work with as a liaison is the Commission on the Study and Teaching of Adolescent Literature.

This week’s blog posting is an invitation to attend this particular commission’s session on Young Adult Literature. If you are not going, you are missing out on some fantastic keynote speakers and some great conversations. The topic that holds the keynotes and the table discussions together is: “YA Books that Offer Multi-Voiced, Multi-Genre, and Multicultural Perspectives.” The session starts with E. Lockhart and David Levithan talking about their novels and their perspective on the session’s theme. Check out the roundtable discussion topics and plan to attend a couple. Again, if you can’t attend, all of the discussion leaders and the respondents are great people; they love young adult literature. I am boldly speaking in their behalf, but I don’t think they will mind if you reach out to them for some additional information during or after the conference. I hope to see you there. If drop in to the session, stop by and say high. In addition, the links below connect each discussion leader or respondent to the other events at the conference they will be attending.
