WRITING AND READING HISTORY FOR CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS
Friday, March 23, 2001
First Parish Unitarian Universalist Church
20 Lexington Road, Concord, Massachusetts 01742, 97869?02
9:00 Registration and Refreshments
10:00 Workshop: Sue Burgess and Mary Burns
Blurring the Lines Between Non-Fiction and Fiction
Contemporary children?s books often require extensive research in writing fiction; yet permit the use of fictional techniques in non-fiction. Blurring the lines between these genres makes it difficult to choose and to use the books. This hands-on workshop reviews criteria for selecting traditional historical fiction and true informational literature, but focuses on these "hybrid books," as well as trends in illustrations and design.
Sue Burgess is a reviewer and essayist, and an Associate Graduate Faculty member of Framingham State College where, in addition to teaching children?s literature, she coordinates the Certificate in Children?s Literature program.
Mary Burns, Librarian Emerita at Framingham State College and former children?s librarian, is a long-time reviewer for The Horn Book Magazine, as well as children?s literature consultant, writer and lecturer.

First Parish Unitarian Universalist Church
20 Lexington Road, Concord, MA 01742

The church is located very close to the corner of Main Street (Route 62) and Lexington Road in Concord Center. There is a sign in front of the church on Lexington Road. The entrance to the Hall is located on the right side of the building toward the rear.
Carpooling is strongly suggested. Free parking is available at the municipal parking lot on Keyes Road, off of Main Street, two blocks from the church.
From the West:
Take Route 2 east to Concord. After the prison rotary, at the second set of lights take a left onto Elm Street. At the stop sign at the end of Elm Street, take a left onto Main Street (Route 62.) Follow Main Street through Concord Center. Take a right onto Lexington Road (Route 2A east.) The church is immediately on the right.
From Boston:
Take Route 2 west to Concord. After you go over Route 128/95, begin counting traffic lights. At the second set of lights, after having gone down a steep hill, Route 2 takes a distinct left. DO NOT TAKE THIS TURN. Instead, stay in the right lane and go straight through this light onto Cambridge Turnpike. There will be a Mobil service station on the left. Stay on Cambridge Turnpike into Concord Center. Just beyond the Concord Museum on the right, Cambridge Turnpike will merge from the left onto Lexington Road. Follow for about 2 blocks and the church will be on the left.
