PROSPECTUS FOR CHILDREN'S LITERATURE CLASS
Learning children’s literature encompasses questioning on the representations and fantasy of childhood about a particular audience and cultural contexts. Therefore, my research will mainly focus on getting information pertaining the impact of literature on children’s life (Bedford, April, and Lettie 123-161). As many authors have done several works aiming to educate children on various aspects of culture and social life, my study will evaluate the relevance, and the importance of the works in shaping positive life for young people. Thus, the research will review works from the 18th Century to date.
Usually, many disciplines do not address students demands regarding knowledge of religious beliefs, philosophy, pedagogy, culture, history and socio-economic as Literature does. In addition to these, language and literature help to create awareness of critical issues such as Marxism, Feminism, Psychoanalysis, and structuralism for children to develop wider knowledge on how to respond to particular texts (Kiefer, Barbara, Susan, Janet and Charlotte 82-130). Therefore, this calls for the need to set context regarding questions about authors, publishers, librarian, teacher and parent role before the work reached kids who the product targets.
