  • The Borrowers a Culture of Life Studies Book Review
    TEACHING THE CULTURE OF LIFE: The Borrowers A Culture of Life Studies book review ABOUT THE AUTHOR Mary Norton is the British author of The Borrowers series as well as the two-book series Bedknobs and Broomsticks which became a classic The Borrowers Disney film in 1971. Readers who enjoyed The Borrowers may also by Mary Norton (1952) enjoy other books in the same series: The Borrowers Afield, The GENRE: Children’s Classics, Borrowers Afloat, The Borrowers Aloft , and The Borrowers Avenged , Fantasy all of which deal with similar themes. LENGTH: 180 pages Recommended for ages 8 –12 STORY SUMMARY The Borrowers—Pod, Homily, and Arrietty Clock—are small persons who live under the kitchen in an old house. In order to survive, they “borrow” food and small objects from around the house. Their greatest fear is being seen by a “human bean” because then they would have to emigrate (or leave) to protect themselves. Arrietty, the smallest Borrower, longs to go outside and see the world. When her father takes her borrowing for the first time, she is spotted by a human bean, a boy living in the house, but instead of being frightened, she makes a friend. This friendship, however, leads to trouble and possible danger from the other humans in the house. The boy begins “borrowing” many things from the doll’s house and giving them to the Borrowers through a loose plank in the kitchen. One night, Mrs. Driver, the housekeeper, discovers the Borrowers through the floor and sends for the rat-catcher to get rid of them.

  • Exemplar Texts for Grades
    COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS FOR English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects _____ Appendix B: Text Exemplars and Sample Performance Tasks OREGON COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS FOR English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects Exemplars of Reading Text Complexity, Quality, and Range & Sample Performance Tasks Related to Core Standards Selecting Text Exemplars The following text samples primarily serve to exemplify the level of complexity and quality that the Standards require all students in a given grade band to engage with. Additionally, they are suggestive of the breadth of texts that students should encounter in the text types required by the Standards. The choices should serve as useful guideposts in helping educators select texts of similar complexity, quality, and range for their own classrooms. They expressly do not represent a partial or complete reading list. The process of text selection was guided by the following criteria: Complexity. Appendix A describes in detail a three-part model of measuring text complexity based on qualitative and quantitative indices of inherent text difficulty balanced with educators’ professional judgment in matching readers and texts in light of particular tasks. In selecting texts to serve as exemplars, the work group began by soliciting contributions from teachers, educational leaders, and researchers who have experience working with students in the grades for which the texts have been selected. These contributors were asked to recommend texts that they or their colleagues have used successfully with students in a given grade band. The work group made final selections based in part on whether qualitative and quantitative measures indicated that the recommended texts were of sufficient complexity for the grade band.
