The annotations inform the reader of the relevance and quality of each book.

Create an annotated bibliography of a wide range of young children’s literature. You should have at least 20 entries in alphabetical order. You can begin this assignment early – it is due on Sunday of Week Seven! Ways to do this assignment: • If you are interested in teaching a specific grade level, you may select all your books from that level. Your bibliography will be a helpful resource when you start your own classroom library. • Be sure the books you choose come from a variety of genres of literature.

See the handout about genres for more information. • You may choose to use your field experience classroom as a resource if you have started any of your field experience classes (practicum or student teaching). You can ask the children what books they have read and use their opinions along with your annotations. • Alternately, if you are not sure what level you would like to teach, you can explore a variety of reading levels in your choices. • Books can be checked out from your local public library for this assignment – no need to purchase the books. 20 Annotations with the Following Required Items: • At least 1 book that is a myth, legend, or folklore • At least 1 book that is fantasy • At least 1 book that is informational or non-fiction • At least 1 book that is historical fiction • At least 1 book that is realistic fiction • At least 2 books from the Caldecott Medal Book List found at Annotation Instructions: 1. Identify the book using APA or MLA format. Identify the illustrators and the genre of the book. Tell the age group this book is appropriate for. Give a one paragraph (2-3 sentences) plot summary, and then write a brief (about 100 words) evaluative paragraph (Notes). The paragraph can discuss anything related to the book. Consider the following list for this section, but do not answer all the questions for each entry. Try to focus your response on whatever most strikes you about the book: · Tell what you noticed, what you thought and felt, and why. · Tell what you liked and didn't like, and why. · Tell what these books said and meant to you. · Why would this be a good book to recommend to children? · What is the author saying about life and living through this book? · What connections are there between the book and real life? · How will children relate to the characters? ( Please do not look for reviews or postings on the Internet about the book. These are short books, so read the book for yourself.) Sample Annotation – Follow this format: Waddell, M. (2002). Owl babies. Summerville, MA: Candlewick Press. Illustrator: Benson, P. Genre: Anthropomorphic Fiction Age Group: infant through preschool age Plot Summary: Three baby owls wake in the night to find their owl mother is gone. They express their feelings of worry about their missing mom and at the end of the book, flap with joy when their mom returns. This book chronicles separation anxiety through the eyes of three owl siblings. Notes: This book about separation anxiety illustrates the point that ‘mommies always come back’. It can be comforting for young children in care settings who worry about their mommy or daddy coming back. As the owl babies worry about their mom, they verbalize their fears. The smallest owl, Bill, repeats, “I want my mommy” throughout the book, and children love to chant this line with the reader. When Mommy returns to the nest, she states, “What’s all the fuss? You knew I would come back.” (Note from Cathy: I used this book for years with young children when I was in the classroom – I have it memorized.) I recommend this book to help comfort young children distressed from separation anxiety. Tips • Your evaluative paragraphs should be at least 100 words (this one is 120). • Describe your thoughts after reading the book. Quick but thoughtful reactions are what you want here. Don’t copy and paste someone else’s thoughts – this is plagiarism. • You might want to ask a child what he or she liked or didn’t like about the book. Ask about characters, action, etc. Discuss the child’s response as your evaluative paragraph. (Don’t do this for every entry. I primarily want to hear what YOU thought of these books and why you think they might be valuable to children) • Use APA or MLA format for the citation, APA preferred. Information on formatting references can be found in the ANGEL class, Format Information folder. • Alphabetize the entries. • Use the most specific genre name (Examples: historical fiction instead of realism; anthropomorphic fiction instead of fiction) • This project is due at the end of the week seven. You can start working on it early. This assignment is adapted from lit/annotated bib.pdf

Paper For Above instruction

The task of creating an annotated bibliography focusing on children's literature involves selecting at least 20 diverse books ranging from various genres such as myth, fantasy, informational, historical fiction, and realistic fiction. These books should be appropriate for elementary-aged children, particularly from birth through early elementary grades, and should be checked out from public libraries. Each entry must include a proper citation in APA format, specifying genre, illustrator, and targeted age group. The core of each annotation involves a brief summary (2-3 sentences) of the plot, followed by a critical evaluative paragraph of about 100 words. This reflection should encompass personal reactions, connections to real life, and suggestions regarding the book's usefulness in educational or child development contexts. The completed bibliography will serve as a valuable resource for future classroom library development and teaching strategies.

In selecting the books, emphasis should be placed on diversity across genres to provide a comprehensive view of children’s literature. For example, selecting a myth or folklore, a fantasy story, an informational text about a topic relevant to children, a historical fiction book, and realistic fiction stories will cover a wide breadth of themes, styles, and lesson potentials. The inclusion of at least two Caldecott Medal winners enhances the quality of illustrated stories, offering exemplary artwork and storytelling.

Considering the importance of visual storytelling, the annotations should pay special attention to how illustrations support or enhance the narrative. Discussing illustration style and its impact on engagement and understanding is recommended. Furthermore, engaging personally with the books by noting what resonated emotionally or intellectually can deepen understanding and appreciation.

Finally, this project is designed to develop your ability to critically analyze children's literature, understand its educational relevance, and curate a diverse collection suitable for early childhood education settings. Concluding with reflective insights about why certain books are recommended and how they can support children’s emotional and cognitive development will add value to the annotations.
