Appendix B: a Literary Heritage I
Appendix B: A Literary Heritage I. Suggested Authors, Illustrators, and Works from the Ancient World to the Late Twentieth Century All American students should acquire knowledge of a range of literary works reflecting a common literary heritage that goes back thousands of years to the ancient world. In addition, all students should become familiar with some of the outstanding works in the rich body of literature that is their particular heritage in the English- speaking world, which includes the first literature in the world created just for children, whose authors viewed childhood as a special period in life. The suggestions below constitute a core list of those authors, illustrators, or works that comprise the literary and intellectual capital drawn on by those in this country or elsewhere who write in English, whether for novels, poems, nonfiction, newspapers, or public speeches. The next section of this document contains a second list of suggested contemporary authors and illustrators—including the many excellent writers and illustrators of children’s books of recent years—and highlights authors and works from around the world. In planning a curriculum, it is important to balance depth with breadth. As teachers in schools and districts work with this curriculum Framework to develop literature units, they will often combine literary and informational works from the two lists into thematic units. Exemplary curriculum is always evolving—we urge districts to take initiative to create programs meeting the needs of their students. The lists of suggested authors, illustrators, and works are organized by grade clusters: pre-K–2, 3–4, 5–8, and 9– 12. -

The Significance of Topics of Orbis Pictus Award–Winning Books
42 Elaine M. Aoki The Significance of 5 Topics of Orbis Pictus Award–Winning Books Elaine M. Aoki Bush School, Seattle, Washington he designation of an award is evidence of something unique. Orbis Pictus Award–winning texts and honor books are distin- T guished from other nonfiction works by their presentation and treatment of topics and issues. Examining an award-winning text with a critical eye allows us to view the many facets of the work. Each facet, however, forms but a small part of the total image. We see the “individualness” of detail, but only when we combine all the parts and envision the entire work are we able to form a final critical assessment of the value of the contribution. Key among Orbis Pictus Award Committee concerns when assessing books are the following: What is the potential impact of this text? Is the presentation “time- less,” enabling the reader to draw analogies to other events occur- ring in different contexts? What is the relationship of the subject to contemporary concerns? And, finally, to what extent does the text enlighten, enhance, or illuminate curricular issues? Consideration of such elements allows committee members to identify a text as one exhibiting that special potential to stimulate the interest, curiosity, and imagination of the young reader. Defining What makes a topic significant? Are significant topics found only within designated “factual” genres such as biography, history, and Significance science? Readers evaluate the significance of a text in light of their experiences. What makes a work significant is the degree to which the subject is part of a collective social consciousness and whether the text is accessible at precisely the right time in the life of a reader or, as in the case of the committee, a community of readers. -
