Welcome
to the Literature and Literacy site. This is the entrance
to information about books, book lists, literature circles and
the issues these materials describe.
Book
Presentations are PowerPoint presentations that I have
downloaded and have used to share multicultural books with
elementary children. There are also post-reading
activities for the teacher to continue after I complete the
presentation,
Book
Reviews are selections recommended or which I have read
that are of interest to many young adults. I look forward
to when I can begin including student reviews of their favorite
books.
Transitions:
Young Adult to Adult strives to provide Young Adult
readers who have become familiar with a particular author or
genre related adult books for their continued reading
enjoyment. The works of four authors have been selected,
Tony Hillerman, Robert Ludlum, Robin Cook and Rudolfo Anaya.
Literature
Circles provides the roles, the materials for group and
social collaboration on a book. These Literature Circles
provide everyone a role and a responsibility in an effort to
hear everyone's voice.
The
Reading Lists are a resource to help teachers and
students find what is available, recommended and, or course,
interesting. The lists are organized according to a)
grade, b) theme, c) organizations.
Young
Adult Issues is an effort to gather articles, essays,
interviews and other materials to help us make informed
decisions about what we value, believe and the role we will play
in society.
I
hope these sites will help you find what you are looking for.
