Book excerpt: Each chapter opens with an introduction to and description of a different popular genre or award category of YA lit--science fiction, realistic teen fiction, graphic novels, Pura Belpre award winners, nonfiction texts, poetry, historical YA fiction--and then offers suggestions within that genre for whole-class instruction juxtaposed with a young adult novel more suited for independent reading or small-group activities. Groenke and Scherff present a variety of activities for differentiated instruction for the novel they've chosen for whole-class study, and provide an appendix of titles, by genre, that interest adolescent readers.
