1 from Poetry to Politics: the Gifts and Talents of Michael Rosen Michael
From Poetry to Politics: The Gifts and Talents of Michael Rosen Michael Rosen is a successful poet, author, radio broadcaster, playwright and speaker, with over a hundred books to his credit. Teachers and librarians across Canada have had the opportunity to meet Michael Rosen during his visits to Canada’s Children’s Literature Roundtable meetings and at various Canadian education conferences. Rosen delights audiences with his picture books for very young children (We’re Going on a Bear Hunt, 1989a), books for older children (You Wait Till I’m Older Than You!, 1997) ‘how-to’ guides (An A-Z Guide to Fatherhood: Goodies and Daddies, 1991), books for both children and adults (Shakespeare: His Work and His World, 2001), books for adults (Carrying the Elephant, 2002), and teacher resource books (Did I Hear You Write?, 1989b). Rosen spends a considerable amount of time in schools working with children, and in professional development sessions with teachers. The importance of his work in education lies in his belief that every child, no matter how young, comes to school with ‘knowledge,’ or as he would prefer to call it, ‘culture’ (Rosen, 1989b). It is a belief shared by many current educators and scholars (see Dyson, 2003). Rosen believes that most of a child’s culture is acquired though oral language and that writing is a way of preserving that oral culture, of reflecting on it, and of opening up conversations about it. As a result, he encourages teachers to access the culture of the children they teach, to capitalize on it, and to ask children to write about the things they know and have experienced.

What Does a Satellite Campaign Do? the Use of Momentum in Labour’S 2017 General Election Facebook Campaign
What does a satellite campaign do? The use of Momentum in Labour’s 2017 General Election Facebook campaign Tristan Hothama aDepartment of Politics, Languages and International Studies, University of Bath, Bath, United Kingdom Correspondence address - Mr. Tristan Hotham, Department of Politics, Languages and International Studies, University of Bath, Claverton Down, Bath, Somerset, BA2 7AY Tristan Hotham is a PhD candidate at the University of Bath. ***Working Paper*** Word Count: 15919 What does a satellite campaign do? The use of Momentum in Labour’s 2017 General Election Facebook campaign Abstract Satellite campaigns have been discussed as core parts of parties online campaigns. However, study is needed to understand the specifics of what satellite campaigns are, where they fit and how they are used as part of parties’ social media election campaigns. This article comparatively examines Facebook pages across the 2017 general election; Momentum, Labour Party page and Labour leader page information and participation content is comparatively investigated to understand what sets satellite campaigning apart. Findings show that Labour had generated a Facebook approach termed ‘Janus-faced campaigning’. Labour was using leader, party and satellite pages with diverse approaches to speak to different audiences, thus presenting different faces of the same party to the public. The party engaged in two core forms of approach. The 'traditional Facebook campaign' via the leader and party page, saw the party using core policy messages, open inclusive rhetoric and a focus on information over participation to campaign to the mass public. This approach was supported by what is termed the 'new methods Facebook campaign'. Here, satellite page Momentum focused equally on participation and information, using novel, partisan and divisive content, large amounts of leadership personalisation and humour, to activate a younger more partisan audience and get them campaigning online and offline.

Michael Rosen - Poems
Classic Poetry Series Michael Rosen - poems - Publication Date: 2004 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Michael Rosen(7 May 1946) a broadcaster, children's novelist and poet and the author of 140 books. He was appointed as the fifth Children's Laureate in June 2007, succeeding Jacqueline Wilson, and held this honour until 2009. Family and early years Michael Rosen was born in Harrow, London, the son of Connie Isakofsky and her husband Harold Rosen. The family background is Jewish, "from the Jewish East End tradition" as Rosen puts it. Rosen's father Harold (1919–2008) was born in Brockton, Massachusetts, in the United States to Communist parents and settled in the East End of London at the age of two, when his mother returned to the country of her birth. While a member of the Young Communist League he met Connie Isakofsky, his future wife and Michael Rosen's mother, in 1935. Harold was a secondary school teacher before becoming a professor of English at the Institute of Education, London, and Connie a primary school teacher before becoming a training college lecturer; she also broadcast for the BBC. Producing a programme featuring poetry, she persuaded her son to write for it, and used some of the material he submitted. Their ancestors came from Poland, Russia and Romania. Michael Rosen was brought up in Pinner, Middlesex, and went to various state schools in Pinner, Harrow, and then Watford Grammar School for Boys, and, having discovered the range of Jonathan Miller, thought: "Wouldn't it be wonderful to know all about science, and know all about art, and be funny and urbane and all that." Subsequently, in his own words: ..

Female Lead Characters in Children's Books
Female Lead Characters in Children's Books After discovering that only one in three picture books or books for babies in the UK and USA has a female lead (and only one in five with animal characters), Eileen Browne (author of Handa’s Surprise and many other books), began compiling a list of books which did have female characters in a lead role. This list was updated by the author in Autumn 2020 © Eileen Browne 2016 All the books are 'a good read' for boys and girls and have either female lead characters, equal numbers of females and males or no gendered characters. The list contains picture books, fiction and information books. The 30 highlighted “focus” books are in the stock of Islington Libraries and also feature characters from Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic backgrounds. Click on the image to find out which of our libraries currently stock the title. The remaining titles on the list include many that may also be available to borrow or to purchase.

Teaching Notes For
Teaching Notes for UnDeFeAtEdThE By Kwame Alexander & Kadir Nelson Published by Andersen Press These notes have been written by the teachers at CLPE to provide schools with sessions which focus on the importance of illustration in building a narrative and supporting children’s response. They build on our work supporting teachers to use picture books to enhance critical thinking and develop creative approaches in art and writing. The teaching notes show how picture books can be used in schools to enhance children’s reading comprehension and composition of their own creative writing. We hope you find them useful. Before beginning this sequence of activities: Collect together a range of art materials that will allow the children to engage in the activities exploring illustration, for example: cartridge paper, sketching pencils 2B–4B, oil pastels, acrylic paints and a variety of brushes. In order to engage fully with the layers of meaning and the details within the illustrations, it is advisable to ensure that you have access to a visualiser or similar device to enable you to share images from the text with the pupils on a large scale. Suggested Activities: N.B. The activities suggested are planned with children at Upper Primary and Secondary aged pupils in mind. If you are using this sequence of activities with children younger than this, you will need to carefully consider and modify the content to suit their age and emotional maturity. Capturing and profiling a subject Begin by appreciating the book as an object: share the front cover with the children opening it out fully to show the range of figures depicted on the front and back covers.
