[ORDER SOLUTION] Childrens Literature
Based on the range of titles explored in class and upon your own reading, create an annotated portfolio of childrens literature. This will be a range of titles that celebrate diversity and must include picture books, junior fiction, young adult fiction and sophisticated picturebooks. At least one in each category must be a title written and published in Aotearoa New Zealand. A minimum of 8 titles to be included in the portfolio. Your annotation should view and critique childrens literature (oral, written, visual and multi-modal) as a vehicle to learn about childrens lives expressed through culture and context. Some questions to consider: How does the text speak to the different discourses (i.e. the political, pedagogical and/or ideological discourses)? Who is privileged by the text/who is not? What is hidden/revealed? What prior knowledge do you as the reader need? Does the story challenge norms How is diversity represented in the stories you choose?
