Young Adult Literature and the English Teacher.

Mitchell, Diana

English Journal, v90 n3 p23-25 Jan 2001

Illustrates ways in which becoming a reader of young adult literature enriched the author's life by making her a better teacher, allowing more connections to students, increasing student involvement, broadening her view of literature in general, connecting her with a rich network of professionals, and putting her back in touch with a part of herself she did not know was missing.
