GCBA - Georgia Children's Book Awards and Conference on Children's Literature
BE A PRESENTER
If you have programs, activities, research, or ideas about children’s literature to share, we would like to hear from you! Please consider being a presenter at the 43nd Annual Conference on Children’s Literature, to be held in Athens, GA on March 23-24, 2012. The small group sessions offer a great opportunity for sharing your passion and expertise in any aspect of teaching children’s literature with your colleagues and individuals interested in this field. While your presentation subject matter must have a direct connection to children's literature, there are a number of possible topics that you could consider presenting. Here are some ideas for possible topics that you might consider:
  • Integrating children’s literature across the curriculum
  • Exploring various literary genres
  • Using new media/digital literacies to extend and enhance appreciation of children’s literature
  • Exploring children’s responses to literature
  • Reaching reluctant readers with children’s literature
  • Helping children find books they can read and enjoy
  • Literature and teaching standards
  • Literature in the age of testing
  • Organizing to participate in the GA Book Awards (tips and ideas from your school)
