  • Cathedral, but It Is Aligned to Ohio's Learning Writing Standards Before the 2017 Revisions and Ohio's State Tests
    Columbus City Schools This is an older resource which can provide ideas for teaching the Standards for English Language Arts Curriculum student mastery using The Cathedral, but it is aligned to Ohio's Learning Writing Standards before the 2017 revisions and Ohio's State Tests. Course/Grade Text Type Grade 7 Book Unit Cathedral: The Informative/ Explanatory (15 Days) Story of Its Construction (1120L) Portfolio Writing Prompt: After reading Cathedral, write an essay that describes how a famous building or a specific building in your community was constructed. Research the reasons the structure was built and the way the structure has been used over the years. Include multimedia resources such as a power point, video, posters or other multimedia to clarify your essay. Common Core Writing: Text types, responding to reading, and research The Standards acknowledge the fact that whereas some writing skills, such as the ability to plan, revise, edit, and publish, are applicable to many types of writing, other skills are more properly defined in terms of specific writing types: arguments, informative/explanatory texts, and narratives. Standard 9 stresses the importance of the reading-writing connection by requiring students to draw upon and write about evidence from literary and informational texts. Because of the centrality of writing to most forms of inquiry, research standards are prominently included in this strand, though skills important to research are infused throughout the document. (CCSS, Introduction, 8) Informational Text Informational/explanatory writing conveys information accurately. This kind of writing serves one or more closely related purposes: to increase readers knowledge of a subject, to help readers better understand a procedure or process, or to provide readers with an enhanced comprehension of a concept.

  • Anna Höglund Tilldelas Astrid Lindgren-Priset
    Anna Höglund tilldelas Astrid Lindgren-priset Författaren, illustratören och konstnären Anna Höglund tilldelades idag Astrid Lindgren-priset för förtjänstfullt författarskap inom barn- och ungdomslitteraturen med motiveringen: Anna Höglund både skriver och tecknar poetiskt och precist, egensinnigt och vackert, samtida och tidlöst om relationer, känslor och identitet samt om att vara liten och bli stor så att det känns och stannar kvar hos såväl små som stora läsare. Prisutdelningen ägde rum i Rabén & Sjögrens lokaler på Riddarholmen i Stockholm. Traditionsenligt bjöds på ostkaka och portvin. Anna Höglund föddes 1958 och räknas som en av Sveriges främsta illustratörer och har samarbetat med författare som Ulf Stark, Barbro Lindgren, Eva Susso, Gunnar Lundkvist och Ulf Nilsson. Hon har också skrivit flera egna böcker, som böckerna om Mina och Kåge. Hon debuterade 1982 med Sagan om pannkakan och har sedan dess publicerat ett 20-tal böcker, varav många har blivit översätta till andra språk. Anna Höglund skriver även dramatik och gör tecknad film. Hon bor tillsammans med man och barn i Stockholm. Astrid Lindgren-priset instiftades av Rabén & Sjögren den 14 november 1967 på Astrids 60-årsdag. Priset har sedan dess delats ut årligen för förtjänstfullt författarskap inom barn- och ungdomslitteraturen. Prissumman är på 50 000 kronor. Juryn för Astrid Lindgren-priset består av Karin Nyman, Annika Lindgren samt Ann Sköld, förlagschef på Rabén & Sjögren.

  • New Swedish Titles 2000
    original 00-11-0710.22Sida1 New Swedish Titles 2000 Titles Swedish New THE SWEDISH INSTITUTE THE SWEDISH Pernilla Stalfelt Bo R Holmberg Mirja Unge Annika Thor Christine Falkenland Mats Wahl Moni Nilsson-Brännström Ann-Marie Ljungberg Lars Gustafsson Peter Kihlgård Hans Olsson Mikael Niemi original 00-11-07 10.22 Sida 2 The Swedish Institute To read literature solely as though it were a mirror of society and its interpreters would be a precarious business, as Ingrid Elam points out at the beginning of her article on new Swedish prose. On the other hand, Kajsa Lindsten Öberg demonstrates that literature, be it for adults or for children, is not entirely uninfluenced by current affairs. Mirror or not, the following two articles about recent Swedish titles identify themes connected with public debate, but also include some exposing testimonies about the most private sphere. There is a mounting international interest in Swedish literature. Swedish books are found on bestseller and “critics’ choice” charts all over the world, and the publication of translations is no longer limited to a handful of specialist publishers. Bidding for titles occurs more and more often, even for translations of previously unpublished writers. Ingrid Elam and Kajsa Lindsten Öberg have been requested to com- ment on this year’s published books for the Frankfurt Book Fair 2000. The selection of titles and the opinions are entirely their own. The com- ments are usually short but will hopefully encourage further reading. For more information about the authors, we refer you to each respective publisher. Information about funding of translations can be obtained from the Swedish Institute.

  • Introduction Narratives of Children's Literature Around 1968
    Introduction Narratives of Children’s Literature Around 1968 We like to think of the 1970s as the decade when Swedish chil- dren’s literature became political. However, when later critics began sketching the most significant changes in children’s literature of the period the verdict was harsh. The tidal wave had changed. Now the critics turned against the demand for socially oriented realism, and questioned the aversion towards imagination and fantasy which, it was argued, had characterized Swedish children’s literature since the late 1960s. An illustrative example is found in an article written by Ronny Ambjörnsson in the summer of 1981, in which he attacked the alleged dominance of the socio-realistic norm in the 1970s, and argued for another kind of children’s literature. In Ambjörnsson’s view, it was clear that Göran Palm’s call for more realistic literature in the early 1960s had become a major influence for the writers of children’s books. In light of this, Ambjörnsson states that the chil- dren’s literature of the 1970s had turned anti-idyllic and realistic at the expense of imagination and fairy tales (R. Ambjörnsson). In short, Ambjörnsson claimed that the fairy tale genre was “banned” from children’s literature during the 1970s, and he argued that this entailed undesirable effects for the reading child. In his view, the insight into societal problems strived for in socially orient- ed children’s books did not necessarily lead to liberation or change, it could just as easily result in resignation. Moreover, he argued, there are important aspects in life that cannot be described in the language of realism.
