Separate articles in this journal discuss the treatment of controversial themes in current adolescent novels; literature for teenagers that deals realistically with family life; teaching students to apply the concepts of transactional analysis to the study of literary characters; teaching students how to interpret poetry; and using comic-book stories about "Uncle Scrooge" to teach about literary conventions. Two annotated bibliographies present two types of resources: magazines that frequently publish articles about adolescent literature, and recordings, filmstrips, and films of literary classics for children. The journal also includes the "Statement on the Preparation of Teachers of English and the Language Arts" prepared by the National Council of Teachers of English. (GW)
