Technical Aspects of the Paper:
The paper should be double-spaced typed, with one-inch margins and times/times new roman 12-point font. The paper should be 6 pages in length (excluding the title and reference page). Spend about half a page on question (a), about 3-4 pages on question (b) and 1 2 pages on question (c). The paper must be organized by the values and concepts, not by book.
Content of the Paper:
(a) Identify the five books you analyzed and the four values/concepts you selected from the list. Describe why/how you selected the books and why/how you selected the values.
(b) This section of the paper should be organized by the four values/concepts not by the books. Compare and contrast how these values/concepts were dealt with in two or more of the five books you analyzed for each of the four themes. Do not expect to find evidence of all the themes in each of the books. You should indicate specific episodes, passages, illustrations, or themes from the books that reflect how these values/concepts you have selected are treated in the story. Direct quotes are not necessary (avoid them). Briefly discuss similarities and differences among the examples you analyzed for each theme. Make sure you address each book at least once in your examples of the values.
(c) Respond to the following sets of questions:
1) Summarize what you think children are being taught about the world they live in through these books (e.g., families, communities, society);
2) How do you think a child from a different cultural background would respond to these books (are the concepts, values universal)? How do you think a child from a disadvantaged background (low income, maltreatment, developmental disability) would respond to these books (are these concepts, values applicable to everyoneâs lives)? Make sure you address each book individually in your response to this question. ;
3) Which books would you want to read to children in your care and why? Which ones would you choose not to read to children in your care and why? Make sure you address all 5 books individually in your response to this question. ;
4) What book not on this list would you read to a young child in your care â briefly describe the book (title, author, plot â and say why you would select this book; make sure you list which of the values listed above it illustrates)?; and
5) Finally, describe how you think that all of these books can affect the values that children and adolescents have.
For Section B and questions c2 and c3, be sure to cite and discuss all 5 books at least once in your response to that question or section.
