OCTOBER JULY 2010 Jlgmonthly VOLUME 4, NUMBER 3 OCTOBER JULY 2010 jlgmonthly “A Junior Library Guild Selection” I can still vividly remember that fall morning way back at the beginning of my career when the mail carrier delivered an advance copy of my second book. With trembling hands, I ripped open the manila envelope and pulled out Gabriella’s Song. For several moments I simply gazed at its lovely cover, hopeful yet trepidatious. Would anyone even notice this little book, I wondered? After all, I was a brand-new author with absolutely no name recognition. And if by some stroke of luck someone did notice it, would they like it? Finally, my head still swirling with doubts and worries, I Candace Fleming, opened the book. There—like a miracle—on the front flap Guest Columnist were five little words: A Junior Library Guild Selection. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I could hardly catch my breath. A Junior Library Guild Selection?! I whooped and hooted with joy. Yes, those five words stand for so much—prestige, quality, high literary standards. But on that fall morning, they meant even more. I felt as if I’d just received a Valentine—a great big Valentine complete with foil heart and paper doily—from my friends at Junior Library Guild. They had sent me a token of their love and esteem. They had welcomed me with open arms into the fold of children’s authors. I clutched that book with those oh-so-wonderful five words to my chest, no longer worried about being noticed or being liked. If JLG had given Gabriella’s Song their stamp of approval, I knew all would be well. Over the years, Junior Library Guild has continued to send me Valentines—ten in all. I still whoop every time I receive one. I still hoot. And I’m still overjoyed, as well as deeply honored. You know, I really should send JLG some chocolates.

Brian Karas’s endearing illustrations have a childlike quality.

G. Brian Karas says, “For one year I lived in a cottage that shared a driveway with the Village Garage, the municipal garage in the village of Rhinebeck in the Hudson Valley of New York. I knew right from the beginning that the crew started their days early. Soon my days began to revolve around their schedule. It was di¥ cult not to—my cottage rumbled every time a truck or some heavy machinery pulled in or out of the driveway. “My studio windows looked out at the garage. Throughout the year I got to see what the crew was up to. I began to recognize them and the kinds of vehicles they drove. Before I became neighbors with the garage, all I seemed to notice were the tra¥ c delays and detours, or the things that needed xing. “But now when I drove around town and I would see what they were working on—road YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE: repairs, leaf removal, anything that needed doing—I began to notice and appreciate the work Today and Today by Kobayashi Issa they did. Their days were determined by the seasons, and after living side by side with the illustrated by G. Brian Karas garage for a year, I became mindful of the seasons in a new way. And at night, after the Village Garage workers were gone for the day, I’d still be working, thinking about what kind of book to Who Made This Cake? by Chihiro Nakagawa write, not realizing for some time that the idea was right out my window.” Bird, Butter y, Eel by James Prosek G.

  • Learning How to “Talk Books”
    Presenting An Independent Study Conducted by Stephanie Selah Learning How To “Talk Books” A Guide to the Contemporary Publishing Industry A Guide to This Guide April 17, 2007 Dear Publishing Enthusiast, You may be wondering to yourself why I am qualified to be writing a guide to the publishing industry. You may even be asking yourself, “What does she know about publishing? After all, she’s still an undergraduate living in Pittsburgh.” If these were your initial thoughts, I have a confession to make: I am not an expert on the publishing industry. But, I hope to become one, or at least work in the publishing industry in the near future. In an effort to increase my knowledge—and yours—about the world of book publishing, and specifically the strategies and techniques involved in successfully marketing published books, I have created this multi-faceted guide as: • a reference (see “Walk the Walk, Talk the Talk”; “Industry Report”; and “So You Want to Be in Publishing?”); • an insight into professional publishing careers at both a large trade publisher and an independent press (see “Publishing Profiles”); • and a memoir (see “On a Personal Note: A Summer Publishing Internship in the Big Apple”). Researching, writing, and compiling this guide have allowed me to explore and combine two areas of study that I am most passionate about: literature and marketing. Additionally, creating this guide has also allowed me to gain a greater insight into the career path to which I am drawn, and I only hope that after reading this guide, you too will be better informed about pursuing a career in this competitive and rewarding industry.

    What does it mean to teach with empathy? Whether it’s planning and delivering instruction or just interacting with others throughout the day, every action you take is an opportunity to demonstrate empathy toward your students, your colleagues, and yourself. “I’m already empathetic to my students and their stories,” you may be thinking. But a teacher’s actions, even unintentional and especially unin- formed, can be implicitly shaming, compounding any disconnect students may already feel and undermining your efforts to create a safe and positive classroom environment. Rather than try to identify who needs empathy, start with the premise that all learners deserve empathy because it is a prerequisite for learning and growth. In Teaching with Empathy, Lisa Westman explores three types of empathy—affective, cog- nitive, and behavioral—and clarifies how they intertwine with curriculum, learning environment, equity practices, instruction and assessment, and grading and reporting. Through her own experi- ence as an instructional coach, Westman shares tips and tools, real-world classroom examples, powerful stories, and even a bit of herself as she guides you to a better understanding of yourself and others. Ultimately, you’ll learn what’s possible when you let compassion and acceptance inform all aspects of your daily practice. Lisa Westman is an author, speaker, and consultant with more than 17 years of experi- ence as a teacher and instructional coach. She provides professional learning on student-driven differentiation, empathy as the foundation of our instructional practices, standards-based learning, and implementing instructional coach- ing programs. She resides in Chicago with her husband, two children, and two dogs.

    SampleMBE_reprint2010.qxp 1/29/2010 10:00 AM Page 1 Sample MBE February 1991 ® PREFACE The Multistate Bar Examination (MBE) is an objective six-hour examination developed by the National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE) that contains 200 questions. It was first administered in February 1972, and is currently a component of the bar examination in most U.S. jurisdictions. From time to time NCBE releases test questions to acquaint test- takers with authentic test materials. This publication consists of the actual 200-item, multiple-choice test that was administered nationally in February 1991. Fifty of these items were initially published in the 1992 MBE Information Booklet and were included in MBE Questions 1992. The February 1991 MBE consisted of questions in the following areas: Constitutional Law, Contracts, Criminal Law and Procedure, Evidence, Real Property, and Torts. Applicants were directed to choose the best answer from four stated alternatives. The purpose of this publication is to familiarize you with the format and nature of MBE questions. The questions in this publication should not be used for substantive preparation for the MBE. Because of changes in the law since the time the examination was administered, the questions and their keys may no longer be current. The editorial style of questions may have changed over time as well. Applicants are encouraged to use as additional study aids the MBE Online Practice Exams 1 and 2 (MBE OPE 1 and OPE 2), both available for purchase online at www.ncbex2.org/catalog. These study aids, which include explanations for each option selected, contain questions from more recently administered MBEs that more accurately represent the current content and format of the MBE.

    The Life and Letters of William Sharp and “Fiona Macleod” Volume 2: 1895-1899 W The Life and Letters of ILLIAM WILLIAM F. HALLORAN William Sharp and What an achievement! It is a major work. The lett ers taken together with the excellent H F. introductory secti ons - so balanced and judicious and informati ve - what emerges is an amazing picture of William Sharp the man and the writer which explores just how “Fiona Macleod” fascinati ng a fi gure he is. Clearly a major reassessment is due and this book could make it ALLORAN happen. Volume 2: 1895-1899 —Andrew Hook, Emeritus Bradley Professor of English and American Literature, Glasgow University William Sharp (1855-1905) conducted one of the most audacious literary decep� ons of his or any � me. Sharp was a Sco� sh poet, novelist, biographer and editor who in 1893 began The Life and Letters of William Sharp to write cri� cally and commercially successful books under the name Fiona Macleod. This was far more than just a pseudonym: he corresponded as Macleod, enlis� ng his sister to provide the handwri� ng and address, and for more than a decade “Fiona Macleod” duped not only the general public but such literary luminaries as William Butler Yeats and, in America, E. C. Stedman. and “Fiona Macleod” Sharp wrote “I feel another self within me now more than ever; it is as if I were possessed by a spirit who must speak out”. This three-volume collec� on brings together Sharp’s own correspondence – a fascina� ng trove in its own right, by a Victorian man of le� ers who was on in� mate terms with writers including Dante Gabriel Rosse� , Walter Pater, and George Meredith – and the Fiona Macleod le� ers, which bring to life Sharp’s intriguing “second self”.
