Abstract

This paper reviews the book Challenging Traditional Classroom Spaces with YA Literature: Students in Community as Course Co-Designers by Ricki Ginsberg (2022). Published amid increasingly contentious censoring of teachers' autonomy and students' rights to read in many districts across the United States, this book is a timely call for educators to rethink traditional curriculum choices and pedagogical approaches in the secondary literature classroom. Ginsberg makes a strong case for privileging engaging and relevant texts utilizing YA literature and centering students and their voices in communities of practice in the classroom. She offers a wide range of approaches to make this book relevant for teachers across the spectrum of autonomy, including impactful additions to existing curriculum for those in more constrained environments and a blueprint for a stand-alone YA literature course for those with more flexibility. Geared toward an audience of secondary literature teachers with many practical pedagogical considerations and suggestions, the solid theoretical base makes this book a useful read for literacy researchers and administrators interested in promoting student-centered pedagogical methods, leveraging meaningful communities of practice in classroom settings, and reaping the benefits of YA literature with secondary students.

挑战中学文学课堂的现状:回顾《用青年文学挑战传统课堂空间》:作为课程共同设计者的社区学生
本文评述了 Ricki Ginsberg(2022 年)所著的《用青春文学挑战传统课堂空间》一书:里基-金斯伯格(Ricki Ginsberg)(2022年)所著的《用青春文学挑战传统课堂空间:学生在社区中担任课程共同设计者》一书。本书的出版正值美国许多地区对教师自主权和学生阅读权的审查日益引起争议之际,它及时呼吁教育工作者重新思考中学文学课堂的传统课程选择和教学方法。金斯伯格提出了一个强有力的理由,即利用青少年文学来编写引人入胜的相关课文,并在课堂上以学生及其在实践社区中的声音为中心。她提供了广泛的方法,使本书适用于各种自主性的教师,包括为那些在更受限制的环境中的教师提供对现有课程的有影响力的补充,以及为那些有更大灵活性的教师提供独立的 YA 文学课程蓝图。本书面向中学文学教师读者,提出了许多实用的教学思考和建议,扎实的理论基础使本书成为有志于推广以学生为中心的教学方法、在课堂教学中利用有意义的实践社区以及让中学生从青春文学中获益的扫盲研究者和管理者的有益读物。
