Reading Globally, K8
In Reading Globally, K-8, the authors make the case for why it is necessary to be globally literate and multiculturally aware in today's shrinking world, and they provide the tools teachers need to incorporate appropriate reading selections into primary and secondary school classrooms. By using books from or about other countries, teachers empower students to view the world in a more positive manner, enriching and broadening their students' lives, and ultimately preparing them for life in a global economy and culture. This reader-friendly resource guides teachers and reading programme coordinators in selecting quality books for their classrooms, incorporating global literature into different content areas, and facilitating the discussions that follow. Practical guidance is provided on how to: - Integrate the reading of global texts across the curriculum, with specific application to language arts, social studies, science, maths, and the arts - Locate and evaluate the authenticity and literary merit of potential books, avoiding those that depict stereotypes - Get started!-with an annotated list of children's books, samples of student work, and classroom vignettes from teachers.

The Arts and the Teaching of History
This book closely examines the pedagogical possibilities of integrating the arts into history curriculum at the secondary and post-secondary levels. Students encounter expressions of history every day in the form of fiction, paintings, and commemorative art, as well as other art forms. Research demonstrates it is often these more informal encounters with history that define students’ knowledge and understandings rather than the official accounts present in school curricula. This volume will provide educators with tools to bring together these parallel tracks of history education to help enrich students’ understandings and as a mechanism for students to present their own emerging historical perspectives.

Çocuk Edebiyatı Kurumsal Yaklaşım
Yaklaşık onbeş yıl, Necatibey Eğitim Fakültesinde İngilizce Öğretmenliği Anabilim Dalında çocuklara yabancı dil öğretimi, edebiyat yoluyla dil öğretimi, çocuk edebiyatı metinlerinde söylem analizi üzerine dersler verdikten sonra, doktora tezimden derlediğim ve Çocuk Edebiyatına Kuramsal Yaklaşım adını verdiğim bu kitabı yazmayı bir görev bildim. Özellikle üniversitelerimizde Türk, İngiliz, Alman ve Fransız Dili ve Edebiyatı bölümlerinde okuyanların ve edebi kuramlarla ilgilenenlerin başvurabilecekleri, çocuk edebiyatına kuramsal yaklaşım üzerine Türkçe yazılmış bir kaynağın yokluğu, bu kitabı yazmam gerektiğini bana hissettirdi. Bu nedenle, bu çalışmanın hem alandaki boşluğu dolduracağına hem de daha sonraki kuramsal çalışmalara kaynaklık edeceğine inanıyorum. Bu eseri kaleme almamdaki bir diğer neden ise, geleceğimizi emanet ettiğimiz çocuklarımızın edebi açıdan da ne kadar değerli olduklarını onlara göstermektir.
Multicultural and Ethnic Children's Literature in the United States
This book describes the history and characteristics of ethnic and multicultural children's literature in the U.S., as well as related materials published elsewhere. It relates in great detail the people, businesses, organizations, and institutions that create, disseminate, promote, critique, and collect these materials. Author Donna Gilton gives a detailed history of U.S. multicultural and ethnic children's literature throughout several historic periods, relating these developments to general social and political U.S. history. Chapters illustrate characteristics of U.S. multicultural children's books, the major issues in the field, and multicultural initiatives and mainstream responses, while also providing outlines of research possibilities in the field and suggesting other groups of people who should be emphasized more in the future. In doing all this, Multicultural and Ethnic Children's Literature in the United States brings together valuable and scattered information for the busy and involved librarians, teachers, parents, publishers, distributors, and community leaders who wish to use and promote this material with children.
