Created for Rutgers University MI - Young Adults, Reading and Literacy

During the fall 2023 semester, I took the Rutgers MI program’s course on Young Adults, Reading and Literacy (17:610:548). I explored teen genres, what young adult readers are interested in and how to develop collections/curriculum for teenage readers. This project is based on the New Jersey Student Learning Standards for grades 9 to 12; it covers the standards recommended for health and physical education.

This was a group project completed with seven other people (Heather Berg, Becky Blackburn, Allyson Daly, Abby Henkel, Becca Levin, Kate Mathe and Isaac Osei-Tutu); we provided resources for teenagers when they are looking for information, reading material and entertainment in the subjects of physical growth, mental and emotional health, and other health topics.
