What Should I Offer in My Class on Writing Nonfiction for Children?

And here’s another — also from Gryphon House.

This recent Gryphon House titles contains some of my nonfiction.

I really enjoyed teaching my class on writing nonfiction for children and have been looking for a way to resurrect it.   It looks like a solution may be right around the corner.  It looks like I’ve found a host site and we are working out the details.

One of those pesky little details is an outline of the course.  I have an outline but it hasn’t been updated for something like 8 years now.  Has it really been that long since I’ve taught this?  At the very least, I need to update links, but I also want to take another look at the course content.  Among other things, I probably need to add more information on ezines and other web related content.  But what else?

Here’s where you can help.   If you were going to take a class on writing children’s nonfiction, what would you want it to include?   Hopefully, the things that you mention will already be part of my plans but just in case I’ve overlooked something, I’d like your feedback.

So — what content would you want more than anything else?
