1xbet best casino website Description

Goals | Audience | Components | Division of Labor | Grading | List of Authors

Goals

• To learn how to locate, to synthesize, and to document both print and online research materials.
• To learn how to create and upload a 1xbet best casino website page.
• To contribute to the on-going critical conversation about children's literature by building an online 1xbet best casino website resource.

Audience

Educated and interested readers of children's literature, including (but not limited to) students of children's literature, prospective teachers, and current teachers.

Components of the 1xbet best casino website Page:

(1) Brief biography of the author (500-700 words), in the 1xbet best casino website 's own words, with citations and a works cited list.

(2) A two-part bibliography, in M.L.A. format:

• a bibliography of all works written/illustrated by the author (&1xbet best casino website ;primary resources&1xbet best casino website ;), listed by genre.
• a bibliography of 8-10 selected works about the author and his/her works (&1xbet best casino website ;secondary resources&1xbet best casino website ;), annotated with a 1-2 sentence description about each selected work. At least four of these selected works must be available from and listed as library print materials.

(3) Five or six of the following Critical Contexts, each 250-300 words in length:

• Literary Relations (comparison with another author writing in similar style or genre)

Example: Comparison between Crockett Johnson's presentation of art and the imagination in Harold and the Purple Crayon and Leo Lionni's in Frederick.

• History of Literary Production (tracing the production history of a particular work)

Examples: Discussion of HarperCollins' rejection of Johnson's Harold and the Purple Crayon before accepting it for publication, as described in the letters of Ursula Nordstrom. Discussion of adaptations/interpretations of Harold and the Purple Crayon, such as the animated film and the board game. Discussion of the translations of Harold and the Purple Crayon.

• Cultural Connections (using biographical, historical, and/or cultural information to analyze a particular work)

Examples: Discussion of Johnson's Harold's Trip to the Sky (1957) in connection with the rise in American space exploration in the 1950s. Discussion of how Johnson's fondness for dogs manifests itself in works such as The Blue Ribbon Puppies and Terrible Terrifying Toby.

• Style of Illustrations/Art (analysis of the visual presentation of a particular work, including comparison/contrast with at least one other author-illustrator)

Example: Comparison between Johnson's minimal, representational cartoon-style of drawing in A Picture for Harold's Room and the style of Syd Hoff in Danny and the Dinosaur.

• Narrative Style and Structure (analysis of the narrative form of a particular work)

Examples: Analysis of Johnson's We Wonder What 1xbet best casino website Walter Be? When He Grows Up as a fable. Analysis of Johnson's Harold and the Purple Crayon as a picaresque narrative.

• Theme (analysis of a theme, in one work or several works, by the author)

Examples: Analysis of gender in Johnson's Ellen and Harold books and how these characters challenge traditional gender roles by sharing similar qualities (imagination, adventure, concern for others). Analysis of the presence of imaginary companions in Johnson's Ellen and Harold books and how they represent aspects of the child's self (Harold's crayon representing the creative self, Ellen's lion representing the super-ego).

Division of Labor
Each 1xbet best casino website will have 5-6 students. At the first meeting, the 1xbet best casino website will list its top three choices for an author; in the event two or more groups select the same first choice, the final decision will be made by a random drawing. Groups members should also exchange contact information at the first meeting, since you will need to be in touch with your 1xbet best casino website outside of class (by phone, email, or face-to-face meetings) to make sure your project is on schedule. See the 1xbet best casino website Web Project Schedule for more information.

All 1xbet best casino website members will contribute their knowledge and will pool their time and research to complete the &1xbet best casino website ;Biography&1xbet best casino website ; and the &1xbet best casino website ;Bibliography&1xbet best casino website ; outlined above. Each 1xbet best casino website member will then research and write a &1xbet best casino website ;Critical Context&1xbet best casino website ; entry; the group as a whole will consider which &1xbet best casino website ;Critical Contexts&1xbet best casino website ; are appropriate for the selected author and which topic for a given &1xbet best casino website ;Critical Context&1xbet best casino website ; would be best, since each &1xbet best casino website ;Critical Context&1xbet best casino website ; entry contributes to the quality of the Group Web Project. Your &1xbet best casino website ;Critical Context&1xbet best casino website ; entry will bear your name, just as the &1xbet best casino website ;Biography&1xbet best casino website ; and &1xbet best casino website ;Bibliography&1xbet best casino website ; will carry the names of all of your group members. See the handout &1xbet best casino website ;Grading Criteria and Schedule for Group Web Project&1xbet best casino website ; for more details.

Grading
I will use a composite grading system for the 1xbet best casino website . The 1xbet best casino website is worth 20% of your final grade for the course, so I will calculate individual grades as follows:

Grade assigned for &1xbet best casino website ;Biography&1xbet best casino website ; and &1xbet best casino website ;Bibliography&1xbet best casino website ;	5%
Grade assigned for your &1xbet best casino website ;Critical Context&1xbet best casino website ; entry	10%
Grade assigned for the completed 1xbet best casino website	5%

See the Grading Criteria handout for more information. 1xbet best casino website Projects that receive high marks will become part of the permanent online web resource.
