Summary:Explores criteria for evaluating Realistic and Problem novels. The lesson shows how these novels can provide powerful coming-of-age tales for teens making a treacherous journey from childhood to adulthood. The Studio Class discusses the challenges of using this genre in the classroom, which tends to depict harsh realities, use colloquial language, and address delicate issues. Videotaped inserts include two Readers' Theater presentations: "The Chocolate War" and "Teacup Full of Roses". Studio Guest: Dr. William Ayers, Professor of Education (University of Illinois - Chicago).
