1) APRIL, 2000
April is National Poetry Month. To begin thinking about National Poetry Month and books of poetry published for children & young adults, visit the website of the Children's Book Council
(http://www.cbcbooks.org). Perhaps you will also want to visit the National Poetry Month website, particularly if you're interested in secondary and college level poetry(http://poets.org).
We'll begin by looking at selected works of some of the poets honored through the formal award process of the National Council of Teachers of English. We'll also see what else you want to discuss later in April, i.e., anthologies you particularly appreciate and why, new poets, etc.
FYI: Poets honored by the NCTE for the body of their published poetry for children are Eve Merriam (1981); John Ciardi (1982); Lilian Moore
(1985); Arnold Adoff (1988); Valerie Worth (1991); Barbara Esbensen
(1994); and Eloise Greenfield (1997). The NCTE Award began as an annual award but now it's given every three years.
Two years ago, the CCBC-Net community discussed Poetry. Some of you might want to visit the CCBC-Net archives for April, 1998, to look at the comments made during that discussion
(http://ccbc.education.wisc.edu/ccbc-net/apr1998.text).
2) MAY, 2000
Picture Book Writing, including the books written (and illustrated) by Molly Bang. We'll talk about the Charlotte Zolotow Award for outstanding picture book writing and its Winners, Honor Books and Commended Books to date. We'll also see what Ursula Nordstrom, Perry Nodelman and Kathleen Horning have written about Picture Book Writing.
3) June, 2000
We'll discuss the books written and/or illustrated by Anthony Browne, winner of the 2000 Hans Christian Andersen Award for the body of his work.
Ginny Moore Kruse (gmkruse at ccbc.education.wisc.edu) for the CCBC-Net staff: Kathleen T. Horning, Megan Schliesman (on leave), Anna Lewis, and Christopher Dowling
