Nagroda Im. H. Ch. Andersena Nagroda
Nagroda im. H. Ch. Andersena Nagroda za wybitne zasługi dla literatury dla dzieci i młodzieży Co dwa lata IBBY przyznaje autorom i ilustratorom książek dziecięcych swoje najwyższe wyróżnienie – Nagrodę im. Hansa Christiana Andersena. Otrzymują ją osoby żyjące, których twórczość jest bardzo ważna dla literatury dziecięcej. Nagroda ta, często nazywana „Małym Noblem”, to najważniejsze międzynarodowe odznaczenie, przyznawane za twórczość dla dzieci. Patronem nagrody jest Jej Wysokość, Małgorzata II, Królowa Danii. Nominacje do tej prestiżowej nagrody zgłaszane są przez narodowe sekcje, a wyboru laureatów dokonuje międzynarodowe jury, w którego skład wchodzą badacze i znawcy literatury dziecięcej. Nagrodę im. H. Ch. Andersena zaczęto przyznawać w 1956 roku, w kategorii Autor, a pierwszy ilustrator otrzymał ją dziesięć lat później. Na nagrodę składają się: złoty medal i dyplom, wręczane na uroczystej ceremonii, podczas Kongresu IBBY. Z okazji przyznania nagrody ukazuje się zawsze specjalny numer czasopisma „Bookbird”, w którym zamieszczane są nazwiska nominowanych, a także sprawozdanie z obrad Jury. Do tej pory żaden polski pisarz nie otrzymał tego odznaczenia, jednak polskie nazwisko widnieje na liście nagrodzonych. W 1982 roku bowiem Małego Nobla otrzymał wybitny polski grafik i ilustrator Zbigniew Rychlicki. Nagroda im. H. Ch. Andersena w 2022 r. Kolejnych zwycięzców nagrody im. Hansa Christiana Andersena poznamy wiosną 2022 podczas targów w Bolonii. Na długiej liście nominowanych, na której jest aż 66 nazwisk z 33 krajów – 33 pisarzy i 33 ilustratorów znaleźli się Marcin Szczygielski oraz Iwona Chmielewska. MARCIN SZCZYGIELSKI Marcin Szczygielski jest znanym polskim pisarzem, dziennikarzem i grafikiem.

ROTTEN ROMANS PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Terry Deary,Martin Brown | 240 pages | 04 Jun 2013 | Scholastic | 9781407135779 | English | London, United Kingdom Rotten Romans PDF Book Arghus Craig Roberts It was released on 26 July The strange facts within tell of everything from Rome's eccentric emperors and brutal armies; to its bizarre eating habits and gruesome taste in entertainment. Language: English. A depth of lessons almost contained within each chapter of the book. A good, fun and enthusiastic way to teach children about the Romans. Jul 29, Rachel rated it it was amazing Shelves: youngadult , history. Details if other :. But then this book could be treated as a sort of introduction, inspiring the reader to read f History without the boring bits to get kids interested in learning about past civilisations. Book Tickets Atti Croft is a Roman teenager with brains but very little brawn. The humour, information and games in the book offers depth to history as a subject which no other book can do, in my opinion. Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. Somewhat predictably, the two youngsters from opposite sides of the conflict reach a mutual respect and understanding. Rotten Tomatoes. Please try again. I re-read this as I'm taking an A-level in archaeology and I am studying the Romans, obviously I will read lots of other books on the Romans aimed at adults, but I thought this was a nice place to start. When will my order arrive? I think this book is one of the only books that told me that the greatest and the most stupid things people did.

Scholarship Boys and Children's Books
Scholarship Boys and Children’s Books: Working-Class Writing for Children in Britain in the 1960s and 1970s Haru Takiuchi Thesis submitted towards the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics, Newcastle University, March 2015 ii ABSTRACT This thesis explores how, during the 1960s and 1970s in Britain, writers from the working-class helped significantly reshape British children’s literature through their representations of working-class life and culture. The three writers at the centre of this study – Aidan Chambers, Alan Garner and Robert Westall – were all examples of what Richard Hoggart, in The Uses of Literacy (1957), termed ‘scholarship boys’. By this, Hoggart meant individuals from the working-class who were educated out of their class through grammar school education. The thesis shows that their position as scholarship boys both fed their writing and enabled them to work radically and effectively within the British publishing system as it then existed. Although these writers have attracted considerable critical attention, their novels have rarely been analysed in terms of class, despite the fact that class is often central to their plots and concerns. This thesis, therefore, provides new readings of four novels featuring scholarship boys: Aidan Chambers’ Breaktime and Dance on My Grave, Robert Westall’s Fathom Five, and Alan Garner’s Red Shift. The thesis is split into two parts, and these readings make up Part 1. Part 2 focuses on scholarship boy writers’ activities in changing publishing and reviewing practices associated with the British children’s literature industry. In doing so, it shows how these scholarship boy writers successfully supported a movement to resist the cultural mechanisms which suppressed working-class culture in British children’s literature.

Horrible Histories
Horrible Histories In our opinion, the Horrible Histories television programmes contain some of the best comic writing out there and Terry Deary’s original books are masterful. They injected bounce into many a lesson, regardless of the class’ age. They also raise questions on the relationship between comedy and historical tragedy. For an energetic and playful start, pair up pupils and ask them to debate which of two historical periods was more ‘horrible’. If you have the books to hold up as you call out, even better! e.g. Vicious Vikings or Stormin’ Normans? or Angry Aztecs or Terrible Tudors? Using some volunteers, perform the stimulus as a piece of Readers’ Theatre (script in hand). Once read, recap on what each character is saying, and let them discuss the different views in small groups: Janey - We wouldn’t want people joking about today’s tragedies, so it’s not fair to joke about the past, Chris – Maybe some things can be joked about, others not Andy – if enough time passes, anything can become fair game, Morgan – Books like Horrible Histories are there to entertain, and we should leave it at that. To let pupils show their initial thinking on each perspective, summarise the views on a pieces of A3 paper and place one in the middle of the room. Tell pupils that to agree with it, they stand closer, and to disagree, they stand further away. You can briefly hear reasons, but try to move to the next one fairly swiftly, and so on. Do they have any other thoughts on this issue? I’ve deliberately excluded mention of black comedy and gallows humour, in the hope pupils will raise these concepts themselves.

International Children's and Adolescent
International Children’s and Adolescent Literature (ICAL) Spring 2014 Instructor: John H. Funk, Urban Institute of Teacher Education (UITE) Office: MBH 114 (by appointment only – SAEC 2245 after 2/15) Phone: 801-556-4982 [email protected] (use this address- do not message me on Canvas) Class Information: Thursday, 10:45 a.m. – 1:45 p.m. MBH 309 Course Description/ Content Overview: This course focuses on the growing body of international children’s and adolescent literature and on the issues that surround this literature. As children’s literature researcher Laura Apol (1998) explained, “Children’s literature is a form of education and socialization, an indication of a society’s deepest hopes and fears, expectations and demands. It presents to children the values approved by adult society and (overtly or covertly) attempts to explain, justify, and even impose on its audience what could be considered ‘correct’ patterns of behavior and belief.” Examining children’s literature from communities around the globe helps us to identify and better understand many of the political, social, and economic issues various countries face and how they respond and understand these issues in ways both similar and different from how other countries might. We will begin by examining the different definitions of what constitutes international children’s and adolescent literature. We will explore and become familiar with the international literature currently being published in different parts of the world for children and adolescents as well as the international literature that is available in the United States. We will explore the major issues that surround global children’s and adolescent literature, such as cultural authenticity (Who has the “right” to write about a particular culture? What makes a particular book an accurate representation of a certain culture, and who should be the judge of that?) and the differences from country to country in using children’s and adolescent literature in school settings.
