DE: Childrens-Writing; Elementary-Education; Evaluation-; Writing-Instruction
AB: Girls and boys write differently. Girls like to write about subjects close to home: self, friends, parents, teachers. Boys write about activities in the community beyond the home: technology, sports, policemen, firemen, war. Boys not only write about vigorous engagement but demonstrate it in the classroom where they tend to dominate while girls are more likely to be invisible. A study of second graders over an 8-month period of time supports the above generalizations and shows that teacher and peer responses to student writing can contribute to male dominance and female invisibility. After having heard several of Arnold Lobel's "Frog and Toad" stories, students wrote their own stories about frogs and toads. Analyses of the content of these stories demonstrates that boys write more about adventures and sports and girls write more about common experiences or relationships. Similar results were observed when children wrote stories on topics of their own choice. Interestingly, the writing process was different for boys and girls. Boys worked side by side, interested in what others were doing but anxious to produce work that distinguished them as individuals. Girls, on the other hand, produced stories on topics very similar; through their stories they participated in a kind of literary game that allowed them to be connected in a community while expressing their individuality. During critiques by the teacher and peers, the researcher observed that stories were evaluated according to largely male standards; girls' stories were considered boring because they did not involve conflict and adventure.

AB: In an effort to demonstrate how quality literature can engage children in reflective thinking about stories, themselves, and the world, this book suggests children's literature worthy of discussion, shows how interactions work, and encourages adults to bond with children. The book begins with a chapter on how to use the book and a chapter on the functions of the adult leader. The body of the book is comprised of 34 book dialogues taken from real life, and commentary on the discussion process. The pattern followed in the discussions is based on reader response theory and the bibliotherapeutic process. Some of the works of children's literature discussed in the book are: "Delphine" (Molly Bang); "The Pain and the Great One" (Judy Blume); "Everett Anderson's Nine Month Long" (Lucille Clifton); "Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge" (Mem Fox); "Fables" (Arnold Lobel); "Where the Wild Things Are" (Maurice Sendak); "The Giving Tree" (Shel Silverstein); and "A Chair for My Mother" (Vera Williams). A description of one family's story time, a list of 15 bibliographies of children's literature, a bibliography, a subject index to book entries, and a general index are attached. (RS)

AB: Books that remind children and adolescents that writing is fun and that they can be writers not only confirm the reading/writing connection, but also demonstrate that reading can be a springboard to writing. Writing and receiving letters is very exciting to beginning readers, and there are many picture books that provide examples of how to write a letter, what to include, and how a person can organize his/her thoughts. "The Jolly Postman, Or, Other People's Letters" by Janet and Allan Ahlberg, "Frog and Toad Are Friends" by Arnold Lobel, and "Letter to Amy" by Ezra Jack Keats, for example, illustrate some of the purposes of writing with which young children are familiar: to express thanks and appreciation, to issue an invitation, and to express the writer's feelings. Bruce Brooks' "The Moves Make the Man" shows two adolescent boys advocating writing as a worthwhile activity, not something to be confined to school assignments. In this story, the reader is told what "equipment" is needed for writing, and that writing is an effective vehicle for sorting out thoughts, and for telling a story. Other stories such as "Dicey's Song" by Cynthia Voight and "Dear Mr. Henshaw" by Beverly Cleary illustrate that getting a response is another prime reason for writing. And Lois Lowry's "Rabble Starkey" teaches students how to improve their own writing by using a thesaurus. These and other books are good models for reminding students that writing is fun. (PRA)

AB: The theme article of this issue, "Spending Money Wisely," by Donald R. Wentworth, begins with an explanation of basic strategies which aid wise spending. The article goes on to provide an introduction to economic reasoning related to consumer purchases and focusing on the role of incentives, scarcity, and alternatives. Four teaching units follow this conceptual introduction. The first unit, intended for pre-kindergarten use, includes activities which have preschoolers listen to a book about shopping ("On Market Street," by Arnold Lobel, 1981), sing a song, hear an economic version of the three pigs, create a nutritious snack, and survey their snack preferences using a pictograph. The K-2 unit, "Kiddie Konsumers," has students set up a mini-mall in their classroom to practice making wise purchase decisions. Additional activities have students clip refund coupons, recognize wise consumer decisions presented in teacher-read scenarios, and investigate which fast food chain has the best price on a cheeseburger, fries, and milkshake. "Sell Words," the third and fourth grade unit, contains seven activities designed to help students learn how to spend their money wisely. Students analyze advertising techniques, keep a television advertising log, conduct a swap-meet attempting to "market" their used merchandise, listen to a guest speaker, and play a consumer version of "lets pretend." The unit for 5th and 6th graders involves students in examining alternative purchase decisions, evaluating the quality of products as a part of consumer decision making, playing "The Chip Choice," and investigating peanut butter bargains.
