Fall 1988 Western Massachusetts Consortium for Global Education 5 Global Horizons Preface The Global Horizons Project represents the spirit and ideas of many people from all over Western Massachusetts, from the dozens of public school teachers and librarians who participated in the Spring Seminar Series and Summer Institute to the nonformal and higher education people who contributed to this directory and made themselves available as resources and supporters. Throughout thefirstyear of Global Horizons,collaborative planning and participation has been both the method and the goal of our efforts in bringing educators together and collecting resource information. Always the image of a school classroom has been foremost in our niinds, whether the resource directory team was discussing lesson plans and directory outlines, or the Summer Institute trainers were planning their workshops. We tried to listen to the needs and desires of the teachers in the schools of Western Massachusetts as they planned to enter those classroom everyday. This directory was conceived and compiled by a team of educators-- local public school teachers and librarians, university teachers, people from local international education organizations-- people actively working for better global understanding and awareness through volunteer efforts and nonformal education programs. This directory embodies a range of perspectives and personalities; our most difficult decision became the question of when must we stop and take our manuscript to the printer! This directory is not complete, nor was it ever intended to become a complete, finite volume. What you find within these covers depicts our attempts to answer specific questions and assist specific needs that we heard expressed by colleagues and friends throughout our planning and writing process. Many more needs and questions, lesson plans, curricula packages and resource materials than collected here exist within the file-drawers, book shelves, and minds of your colleague and neighbors. There are other global education resource directories, manuals, and resource centers to be tapped. This is only a beginning. We hope that this directory sparks and rekindles your interest in bettering our global understanding and imparting that interest and love of cultural diversity to the studentswe all work with everyday. The Resource Directory Team Global Horizons Project Amherst, MA Global Horizons Acknowledgements Many people have contributed to the creation of this directory in many different and distinctive ways. We chose a participatory process and philosophy for collecting the information and writings found in the following pages. In following this avenue a core consultant team was created that acted as a nucleus with many extended and expanding branches. In addition to this core writing and researching team, there were Consortium member staff who supported and advised us during the entire process. This directory exists because of the efforts and dedication of these many people. Special mention must include: Jane Benbow, David Styles, Judy Hope, Jo-Anne Pach, Greg Thompson, and Dan (Doc) Coster for their creativity and patience. The final copy of this directory would not have greeted the new year without the adrththstrative assistance of Natalie Cushman, Barbara Carr, and, of course - Anna Donovan. Sue Root, Mary Alice Wilson, and Principal Investigator of the project - George Urch, smoothed the path. Also, thanks are due to the Literacy Support Initiative at the University of Massachusetts/Amherst for use of their computers and printer.

  • Relationships to the Bush in Nan Chauncy's Early Novels for Children
    Relationships to the Bush in Nan Chauncy’s Early Novels for Children SUSAN SHERIDAN AND EMMA MAGUIRE Flinders University The 1950s marked an unprecedented development in Australian children’s literature, with the emergence of many new writers—mainly women, like Nan Chauncy, Joan Phipson, Patricia Wrightson, Eleanor Spence and Mavis Thorpe Clark, as well as Colin Thiele and Ivan Southall. Bush and rural settings were strong favourites in their novels, which often took the form of a generic mix of adventure story and the bildungsroman novel of individual development. The bush provided child characters with unique challenges, which would foster independence and strength of character. While some of these writers drew on the earlier pastoral tradition of the Billabong books,1 others characterised human relationships to the land in terms of nature conservation. In the early novels of Chauncy and Wrightson, the children’s relationship to the bush is one of attachment and respect for the environment and its plants and creatures. Indeed these novelists, in depicting human relationships to the land, employ something approaching the strong Indigenous sense of ‘country’: of belonging to, and responsibility for, a particular environment. Later, both Wrightson and Chauncy turned their attention to Aboriginal presence, and the meanings which Aboriginal culture—and the bloody history of colonial race relations— gives to the land. In their earliest novels, what is strikingly original is the way both writers use bush settings to raise questions about conservation of the natural environment, questions which were about to become highly political. In Australia, the nature conservation movement had begun in the late nineteenth century, and resulted in the establishment of the first national parks.

  • The Development of Fantasy Illustration in Australian Children's Literature
    The University of Tasmania "THE SHADOW LINE BETWEEN REALITY AND FANTASY": THE DEVELOPMENT OF FANTASY ILLUSTRATION IN AUSTRALIAN CHILDREN'S LITERATURE A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Degree for Master of Education. Centre of Education by Irene Theresa Gray University of Tasmania December 1985. Acknowledgments I wish to thank the following persons for assistance in the presentation of this dissertation: - Mr. Hugo McCann, Centre for Education, University of Tasmania for his encouragement, time, assistance and critical readership of this document. Mr. Peter Johnston, librarian and colleague who kindly spent time in the word processing and typing stage. Finally my husband, Andrew whose encouragement and support ensured its completion. (i) ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to show that accompanying a development of book production and printing techniques in Australia, there has been a development in fantasy illustration in Australian children's literature. This study has identified the period of Australian Children's Book Awards between 1945 - 1983 as its focus, because it encompassed the most prolific growth of fantasy-inspired, illustrated literature in Australia and • world-wide. The work of each illustrator selected for study either in storybook or picture book, is examined in the light of theatrical and artistic codes, illustrative traditions such as illusion and decoration, in terms of the relationships between text and illustration and the view of childhood and child readership. This study. has also used overseas literature as "benchmarks" for the criteria in examining these Australian works. This study shows that there has been a development in the way illustrators have dealt with the landscape, flora and fauna, people, Aboriginal mythology and the evocation and portrayal of Secondary Worlds.

  • A Half-Closed Book
    A HALF-CLOSED BOOK Compiled by J. L. Herrera TO THE MEMORY OF: Mary Brice AND WITH SPECIAL THANKS TO: Madge Portwin, Margaret Clarke, Isla MacGregor, Bob Clark, Betty Cameron, Ken Herrera, Cheryl Perriman, and sundry libraries, op-shops, and book exchanges INTRODUCTION Just one more ramble through unexpected byways and surprising twists and turns … yes, I think everyone is allowed to go out with neither bang nor whimper but with her eyes glued to the page … Poor dear, people can say, she didn’t see that bus coming … The difficulty of course is where to store everything; and finding room in my mind is sometimes as tricky as finding room in my bedroom. But was it a good idea to do a short writer’s calendar? A year instead of my usual three years. I had mixed feelings about it. It was nice to see a book take shape so (relatively) swiftly. But I also felt the bits and pieces hadn’t had time to marinate fully. That sense of organic development had been hurried. I also found I tended to run with the simpler stories rather than the ones that needed some research—and some luck, some serendipity. On the other hand, how long a soaking constitutes a decent marinade? Not being a good cook I always find that hard to decide … So this will be a book without a deadline. One which can just wander along in spare moments. Its date will have to wait. Even so, I hope that anyone who happens to read it some day will enjoy it as much as I always enjoy the compiling of books on writing and reading.
