Using Literature to Teach Middle Grades about War

Using Literature to Teach Middle Grades about War

Phyllis Kennemer

Greenwood Press
1993
nidottu
Studying historical wars through literature offers an effective, interesting way for students to understand the issues surrounding the conflicts and gain insight into the drastic changes that wars cause in the lives of individuals and nations. Useful for both teachers and librarians, "Using Literature to Teach Middle Grades About War" covers major wars that have generated a suitable variety of materials and resources that are readily available for student use - the Revolutionary War; the Civil War; World War 1; World II; the Vietnam War; and the Gulf War. The wars are categorised into individual literature units. Each unit features a selected chronology; recommended books (picture books, factual books, biographies and fiction); a sample lesson plan; suggested questions and activities; and a glossary. Covering a wide range of viewpoints, the books were selected for their readability, recent copyright dates and point of view. Appendix A contains two planning guides for teachers and librarians that help to effectively organise the units. The first provides suggested guidelines and questions to consider in advance to help effectively organise the units for classes. The second provides help in designing units for special interest groups.

The Emergence of African American Literacy Traditions

The Emergence of African American Literacy Traditions

Phyllis M. Belt-Beyan

Praeger Publishers Inc
2004
sidottu
The ways in which the African American community learned to be proficient readers and writers during the 19th century were diverse, however, the greatest impact on literacy acquisition came from family and community efforts. African American arts, churches, benevolent societies, newspapers, literacy societies, and formal and informal schools supported literacy growth, and literacy growth in turn gave rise to national and international African American literacy traditions. The underlying motivations that gave shape to the nature of their literacy behaviors and events within family and community contexts and within national and global context are examined in detail here.The beginnings of African American literacy traditions would have failed had there not been intrinsic motivations, opportunities, and a need to use all of the language arts, reading, writing, speaking, listening, and viewing to maintain and protect what mattered most to them as a people. The institutionalization of these traditions into family and community rituals, including songs, prayers, letters, story telling, and the like gave a visibility to the African American in ways no other cultural knowledge could. Belt-Beyan traces the development of these literacy traditions, noting the parallel progression and transformation of Africans into African Americans, slaves into freepersons, and noncitizens into citizens.

Nothing But Brush Strokes

Nothing But Brush Strokes

Phyllis Webb

NeWest Press
1995
pokkari
This collection chronicles Phyllis Webb's struggle with the creative process and her intense need to probe beneath the surface of things. "The subjects of these essays are various, but themes and concerns recur, and the focus is usually literary, with a few light brush strokes of fantasy here and there. If the tone-and-mood shifts are frequent, time, place and my own state of mind might account for some of their occurrences, others were deliberately contrived to keep an audience entertained, or, at the very least, awake." -- Taken from the Preface.
