Moore, Tara – Children's Literature in Education, 2023
Students in the English Language Arts classroom have access to more author commentary than ever.

This article builds on small-scale studies of affective evaluation, an…

Schaufele, Morgan – Educational Studies: Journal of the American Educational Studies Association, 2020
Drawing upon my own experiences as a high school English Language Arts teacher, I seek a satisfying response to offer students when they ask, "Why are we reading this?" Such a query often leads teachers and students to consider broader questions of the purposes of literature. This paper presents a hermeneutic exploration of the practice…
