Here's a reminder: Occasionaly someone indadvertantly interrupts a CCBC-Net discussion to request specific information. Usually this person has forgotten that CCBC-Net has an announced discussion topic. That's what happened earlier today.
Some of you know you can be of help to someone who writes with an off-the-topic question. We urge you to write directly to the individual and not to everyone if you do have information or advice.
CCBC-Net is not a listserv where course assignments can be aired; there are other listservs where that type of question is the main substance of the messages.
As long as I'm in the "reminder business" I'll repeat the reminder about observing the courtesy of handling your "subscription" and "signing off" and "computer problems" messages on a one-to-one basis with Chris Dowling or me. We're investigating a new command to make that even easier. Meanwhile, please do something other than writing to 933+ individuals regarding your CCBC-Net status. Please...
Whew! It's easier to talk about books. And more interesting! Yes, the CCBC folks are alive and well. We haven't wanted to intrude this month upon the compelling discussion with its own momentum. Thanks to everyone who has contribued comments on non-linear narratives so far. You've touched on so many aspects of what makes a fictional narrative non-linear, and it seems that Whirligig and Making Up Megaboy are perfect examples, as are the so?lled "older books" to which Susan Griffith referred a few days ago. Keep it up! Who's next?
Those of you interested in books for younger children: Yesterday those of us involved in the CCBC telecommunications course on books for beginning and newly independent readers heard something pertaining to this discussion. Guest speaker Margaret Jensen observed that many first and second grade teachers today notice an increasing number of children needing additional help in left-to-right sequencing. Let's not get sidetracked into a discussion of how to teach reading. Rather - let's go to Jan Ormerod's new book "Who's Whose?" (U.S. ed. Lothrop, 1998) when we think about this. What can you share with others about this book, if you've seen it - or if you've heard her speak about it? ...
