Children are learning how to select books for their own reading enjoyment and are responding to books in a multitude of memorable and exciting ways. Children are also reading to extend their understanding of themselves as writers and to find answers to their questions about the world around them. Professional growth and development never cease for teachers who love literature and who wish to sharpen their ability to select the best titles and to challenge children to respond to literature in thoughtful and creative ways. Teachers who select books that are rich in language find that these authors provide students with insights into the use of imaginative language through their word choice, their use of dialect and interesting metaphors, and their ability to describe the strange as familiar and the familiar as strange. As we encourage children to sample from the rich literary buffet of picture books, poetry, fantasy, historical fiction, nonfiction, folklore, multicultural literature, and contemporary realistic fiction, we need to explore how to select titles that are of the highest quality in their use of language. We also need to examine how tobring reader and text together in thought-provoking and enriching ways.

  • Wendell Phillips Wendell Phillips
    “THE CHINAMAN WORKS CHEAP BECAUSE HE IS A BARBARIAN AND SEEKS GRATIFICATION OF ONLY THE LOWEST, THE MOST INEVITABLE WANTS.”1 For the white abolitionists, this was a class struggle rather than a race struggle. It would be quite mistaken for us to infer, now that the civil war is over and the political landscape has 1. Here is what was said of the Phillips family in Nathaniel Morton’s NEW ENGLAND’S MEMORIAL (and this was while that illustrious family was still FOB!): HDT WHAT? INDEX WENDELL PHILLIPS WENDELL PHILLIPS shifted, that the stereotypical antebellum white abolitionist in general had any great love for the welfare of black Americans. White abolitionist leaders knew very well what was the source of their support, in class conflict, and hence Wendell Phillips warned of the political danger from a successful alliance between the “slaveocracy” of the South and the Cotton Whigs of the North, an alliance which he termed “the Lords of the Lash and the Lords of the Loom.” The statement used as the title for this file, above, was attributed to Phillips by the news cartoonist and reformer Thomas Nast, in a cartoon of Columbia facing off a mob of “pure white” Americans armed with pistols, rocks, and sticks, on behalf of an immigrant with a pigtail, that was published in Harper’s Weekly on February 18, 1871. There is no reason to suppose that the cartoonist Nast was failing here to reflect accurately the attitudes of this Boston Brahman — as we are well aware how intensely uncomfortable this man was around any person of color.

Cotton represented 57.5% of the value of all U.S. exports. 55% of enslaved people in the United States were employed in cotton production. Cotton Production in the South, 1820–1860 Cotton production expanded westward between 1820 and 1860 into Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, and western Tennessee. Source: Sam Bowers Hilliard, Atlas of Antebellum Southern Agriculture (Louisiana State University Press, 1984) pp. 67–71. Ownership of Enslaved people in the South was unevenly distributed 25% of white families owned slaves in 1860 Fell from 36% in 1830 Nearly half of slaveholders owned fewer than five 12% owned more than twenty slaves 1% owned more than fifty slaves Typical slave lived on a sizeable plantation As Pro-Slavery supporters continued to use the law to protect their “property,” Abolitionists employed all manner of strategies to persuade the American public and its leadership to end slavery. One of their first strategies was to unite groups of like- minded individuals to fight as a body.
