The American Library Association’s Great Stories Club helps library workers bring those insights to underserved teenagers through a unique book club and discussion group that uses powerful stories to engage and inspire . There are two ways for libraries to participate in the Great Stories Club . QQ Apply for a Great Stories Club grant from ALA (see page 4 ) . Libraries selected for a Great Stories Club grant get copies of theme-related books to use in reading and discussion groups of 8 to 10 teens; in-person and online training on humanities content; dialogue facilitation training; and a variety of programming and promotional support materials . QQ Use ALA’s Great Stories Club resources to lead your own book club for underserved youth (see page 5 ) . All resources created for Great Stories Club grantees — including book lists, discussion questions, promotional materials, and supplemental program ideas — are available to all libraries, free of charge, on ala .org/greatstories . Whichever way you choose to get involved, the goal is to inspire teens to consider “big questions” about the world around them and their place in it, affecting how they view themselves as thinkers and creators . The Great Stories Club establishes important connections between underserved youth, their library, and their local library staff, as well as local nonprofit partners that have proven to be important to success after incarceration, treatment, graduation, or during other transitions . Ultimately, the Great Stories Club aims to improve literacy while inspiring youth to be better prepared to lead positive, successful lives . 2 :: ABOUT THE GREAT STORIES CLUB :: ALA GREAT STORIES CLUB PROGRAMMING GUIDE HISTORY From 2006 to 2012, the ALA Public Programs Office made more than 1,000 programming grants to libraries with funding from Oprah’s Angel Network .

  • Carol Jago's Suggestions for Your Classroom Library
    Carol Jago’s Suggestions for Your Classroom Library Welcome to my list of suggestions for your classroom library. It is not meant in any way to be a perfect list. Only you know what titles will be most appealing to your students and which books might be problematic in your school community. I have compiled here a list of books that I believe can open up the world to middle and high school readers. Some of these stories include scenes of violence and/or language that might offend. That said, I have read every one of these books and believe the scenes and language contribute importantly to the authors' intent and message. Thanks for all you do to bring books into your students’ lives. Reading helps us be more fully human.

  • Father Heinrich As Kindred Spirit
    father heinrich as kindred spirit or, how the log-house composer of kentucky became the beethoven of america betty e. chmaj Thine eyes shall see the light of distant skies: Yet, COLE! thy heart shall bear to Europe's strand A living image of their own bright land Such as on thy glorious canvas lies. Lone lakes—savannahs where the bison roves— Rocks rich with summer garlands—solemn streams— Skies where the desert eagle wheels and screams— Spring bloom and autumn blaze of boundless groves. Fair scenes shall greet thee where thou goest—fair But different—everywhere the trace of men. Paths, homes, graves, ruins, from the lowest glen To where life shrinks from the fierce Alpine air, Gaze on them, till the tears shall dim thy sight, But keep that earlier, wilder image bright. —William Cullen Bryant, "To Cole, the Painter, Departing for Europe" (1829) More than any other single painting, Asher B. Durand's Kindred Spirits of 1849 has come to speak for mid-nineteenth-century America (Figure 1). FIGURE ONE (above): Asher B. Durand, Kindred Spirits (1849). The painter Thomas Cole and the poet William Cullen Bryant are shown worshipping wild American Nature together from a precipice high in the CatskiJI Mountains. Reprinted by permission of the New York Public Library. 0026-3079/83/2402-0035$0l .50/0 35 The work portrays three kinds of kinship: the American's kinship with Nature, the kinship of painting and poetry, and the kinship of both with "the wilder images" of specifically American landscapes. Commissioned by a patron at the time of Thomas Cole's death as a token of gratitude to William Cullen Bryant for his eulogy at Cole's funeral, the work shows Cole and Bryant admiring together the kind of images both had commem­ orated in their art.

  • Gender, Ritual and Social Formation in West Papua
    Gender, ritual Pouwer Jan and social formation Gender, ritual in West Papua and social formation A configurational analysis comparing Kamoro and Asmat Gender,in West Papua ritual and social Gender, ritual and social formation in West Papua in West ritual and social formation Gender, This study, based on a lifelong involvement with New Guinea, compares the formation in West Papua culture of the Kamoro (18,000 people) with that of their eastern neighbours, the Asmat (40,000), both living on the south coast of West Papua, Indonesia. The comparison, showing substantial differences as well as striking similarities, contributes to a deeper understanding of both cultures. Part I looks at Kamoro society and culture through the window of its ritual cycle, framed by gender. Part II widens the view, offering in a comparative fashion a more detailed analysis of the socio-political and cosmo-mythological setting of the Kamoro and the Asmat rituals. These are closely linked with their social formations: matrilineally oriented for the Kamoro, patrilineally for the Asmat. Next is a systematic comparison of the rituals. Kamoro culture revolves around cosmological connections, ritual and play, whereas the Asmat central focus is on warfare and headhunting. Because of this difference in cultural orientation, similar, even identical, ritual acts and myths differ in meaning. The comparison includes a cross-cultural, structural analysis of relevant myths. This publication is of interest to scholars and students in Oceanic studies and those drawn to the comparative study of cultures. Jan Pouwer (1924) started his career as a government anthropologist in West New Guinea in the 1950s and 1960s, with periods of intensive fieldwork, in particular among the Kamoro.

  • English 233: Tradition and Renewal in American Indian Literature
    ENGLISH 233 Tradition and Renewal in American Indian Literature COURSE DESCRIPTION English 233 is an introduction to North American Indian verbal art. This course is designed to satisfy the General Education literary studies ("FSLT") requirement. FSLT courses are supposed to concentrate on textual interpretation; they are supposed to prompt you to analyze how meaning is (or, at least, may be) constructed by verbal artists and their audiences. Such courses are also supposed to give significant attention to how texts are created and received, to the historical and cultural contexts in which they are created and received, and to the relationship of texts to one another. In this course you will be doing all these things as you study both oral and written texts representative of emerging Native American literary tradition. You will be introduced to three interrelated kinds of "text": oral texts (in the form of videotapes of live traditional storytelling performances), ethnographic texts (in the form of transcriptions of the sorts of verbal artistry covered above), and "literary" texts (poetry and novels) written by Native Americans within the past 30 years that derive much of their authority from oral tradition. The primary focus of the course will be on analyzing the ways that meaning gets constructed in these oral and print texts. Additionally, in order to remain consistent with the objectives of the FSLT requirement, you will be expected to pay attention to some other matters that these particular texts raise and/or illustrate. These other concerns include (a) the shaping influence of various cultural and historical contexts in which representative Native American works are embedded; (b) the various literary techniques Native American writers use to carry storyteller-audience intersubjectivity over into print texts; and (c) the role that language plays as a generative, reality-inducing force in Native American cultural traditions.

  • The Journal of Research on Libraries and Young Adults
    The Journal of Research on Libraries and Young Adults Volume 6: August 2015 www.yalsa.ala.org/jrlya Adolescent Females and the Graphic Novel: A Content Analysis Emily Simmons, ELA Teacher, Hernando Middle School Abstract Numerous studies of adolescent reading preferences have found that fewer females than males are drawn to reading graphic novels. Why? Adolescent readers are diverse in gender and race/ethnicity as well as the disabilities they represent. Do main characters in graphic novels reflect that diversity? Has representation changed over time? Using a content analysis approach, this study examined the main characters in a set of recommended popular graphic novels for teens to determine the percentage of female protagonists and how that percentage has changed over a seven-year period. Additionally, the race/ethnicity and any disabilities of the female main characters were analyzed. The 70 recommended graphic novels and illustrated nonfiction for teens ages 12 to 18 used for the study were found on YALSA’s “Top Ten Great Graphic Novels for Teens” lists from 2007 through 2013. Female main characters were found in 46% of the titles, with 24% of these titles having only female main characters while 22% had both female and male main characters; the female main characters represented three of five race categories identified by the U.S. Census Bureau and four of the fourteen disability classifications identified by IDEA. Introduction Enticing adolescents to read has been and remains today a core objective for librarians, educators, and parents. At any age, reading preferences reflect reading interests; therefore, it is essential for libraries and schools to provide a varied collection of books to meet a myriad of interests.

Yet, we are still strangers to one another. We have so much more to learn about each other's culture, history and traditions. As teachers, librarians and parents, we have the opportunity to help instill personal pride and a keen aware- ness of cultural identity in our young people. We also have a global responsibility to teach respect for our friends, for our neighbors and for the people we may never meet in person, but who share this place we call home, Earth. Books allow us to share our stories, our histories and to describe our hopes for the future. They provide a way in which we can express pride in who we are. We can read about the culture, traditions and dreams of others. In so doing, books open the door to creating a better under- standing of one another, help us to develop inter-cultural links and make it easier for us to lay the foundation of a more peaceful coexistence for future generations. One hundred years ago, it was estimated that there were as few as 240,000 Native Americans left.
