We all believe that the regular inclusion of literature in the elementary curriculum can lead to a dynamic interaction and integration in the language arts--writing, reading, speaking, listening. Two-Way Street looks at ways to encourage and build upon this relationship as it advocates reading widely, and responding to reading with various activities that foster critical reading and critical thinking skills. Two-Way Street provides an annotated bibliography of children's literature with classroom suggestions for the teacher. tome of the titles are well know and "classic" by anyone's definition--Charlotte's Web, The Borrowers, The Little House. Some are less well know but favorites among the teachers in this group--Cooper's Under Sea, Over Stone, Brooks' Bronzeville Boys and Girls, Pearce's Tom's Midnight Garden. Some are old; some are new. But all were chosen with the enjoyment of the child i CLASSROOM SUGGESTIONS The classroom suggestions are often overwhelming--too many for each book, but we wanted to get the reader/teacher thinking, making connections. In the case of each book, we encourage you to be selective, to make adaptations fur your group. Consider modifying activities suggested for oae book to use with another. None of this is etched in stone. Adjust activities to fit your situation -adapt from book to book, from level to level. Dou't discount using picture books or ABC's with the upper grades (perhaps in the context of creating library materials for the preschool or first grade; perhaps as a study in visual literacy). Don't overlook the possibility of reading aloud some of the more complex novels to the younger grades, or the possibilities of reading aloud on every level. Children often have reading interests and listening comprehension skills grade levels above their reading abilities. But reading aloud is

    Complete Stories by Franz Kafka

    The Complete Stories by Franz Kafka Back Cover: "An important book, valuable in itself and absolutely fascinating. The stories are dreamlike, allegorical, symbolic, parabolic, grotesque, ritualistic, nasty, lucent, extremely personal, ghoulishly detached, exquisitely comic. numinous and prophetic." -- New York Times "The Complete Stories is an encyclopedia of our insecurities and our brave attempts to oppose them." -- Anatole Broyard Franz Kafka wrote continuously and furiously throughout his short and intensely lived life, but only allowed a fraction of his work to be published during his lifetime. Shortly before his death at the age of forty, he instructed Max Brod, his friend and literary executor, to burn all his remaining works of fiction. Fortunately, Brod disobeyed. The Complete Stories brings together all of Kafka's stories, from the classic tales such as "The Metamorphosis," "In the Penal Colony" and "The Hunger Artist" to less-known, shorter pieces and fragments Brod released after Kafka's death; with the exception of his three novels, the whole of Kafka's narrative work is included in this volume. The remarkable depth and breadth of his brilliant and probing imagination become even more evident when these stories are seen as a whole. This edition also features a fascinating introduction by John Updike, a chronology of Kafka's life, and a selected bibliography of critical writings about Kafka.

    March Is Reading Month: Choosing Rigorous, Inspiring Books For Michigan’s K-12 Students “My top priority as Governor is to make sure Michigan's children have the world opened up to them by learning how to read. A rock-solid education with a firm foundation of reading skills will give our children access to every opportunity in life to succeed. Every month in Michigan should be Reading Month, not just March." —Governor Jennifer Granholm In Michigan we are reminded that ALL students need to engage in reading opportunities that will enhance thinking; meet high, rigorous English language arts standards; and provide an intellectual challenge commensurate with learning goals aimed at the 21st Century. Reading Month is an opportune time to reflect on the quality of literature we are using to inspire students. Readers become leaders. Reading is the one skill that everyone needs to learn, and stay fresh and dynamic. To succeed in life we need to understand what we read. The best way to improve understanding is to read a lot. Below, educators will find noteworthy, recommended, and award-winning booklists that can be used in our quest for providing the best. By considering skill levels and developmental range, as well as the needs and interests of students, educators can select books that appeal to the broad spectrum.
