Book+Awards+Matrix

=Book Awards Part II= Using the information everyone collected during Book Awards Part I, the class will create and fill-in a book awards matrix here. This is a component of the 20-point assignment that consists of Book Awards Parts I and II.

>
 * I have begun the Matrix. I suggested headings to use in the Matrix for different aspects of the Book Awards, but it is incomplete. Your job, along with your classmates, is to add to the headings as needed and to fill in the Matrix with the information you have found.
 * 1) Initially, enter information to the Matrix for 2 or 3 of the awards that you have researched. If you have information that is not reflected in the criteria already there, then add a column with a new heading.
 * 2) If someone else has already listed one of the awards you researched, read the entry carefully in case you can add to what that person has written. If you have conflicting information, recheck it, then correct the entry.
 * 3) Check back after a few days and enter any other of your awards that no one else has added. (Note: I get a notice each time someone adds information and what that is, so I will be able to see and track your efforts.)

Awarded annually. Medal was designed by Lev Mills in 1974. The symbolism used in designing the seal centers around Dr. King's teachings and doctrines, the purpose for which the Award was founded. The basic circle represents continuity in movement, revolving from one idea to another. Within the circle is the image of a black child reading a book. The five main religious symbols below the image of the child represent non-sectarianism. The superimposed pyramid symbolizes both strength and Atlanta University, where the Award was headquartered at the time the seal was designed. At the apex of the pyramid is the dove, symbolic of peace, one of Dr. King's doctrines. The rays shine toward peace and brotherhood.

Batchelder, children in all countries should have good books in translation from many parts of the world for these reasons:1) children of one country who come to know the books and stories of many countries have made a beginning toward international understanding; 2) knowing the classic stories of a country creates an attitude for understanding towards the people for whom that literature is a heritage; 3) children, who know they are reading in translation the same stories which children in other countries are reading, develop a sense of nearness with those in other lands; and 4) interchange of children's books between countries through translation enhances communication between the peoples of those countries, and, if the books chosen for traveling from language to language are worthy books, the resulting communication is deeper, richer, more sympathetic and more enduring.

 * The Odyssey

|| The story of the wanderings of Ulysses, as he returns to his kingdom of Ithaca after the Trojan War, are ascribed to the blind poet Homer who either wrote, or dictated, the epic poem called The Odyssey.

The Odyssey Award allows us to return to the ancient roots of storytelling, while living in our modern world. || The Odyssey Award is jointly given and administered by the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) and the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA), divisions of ALA, and is sponsored by Booklist magazine. || audiobook for children or young adults || given to the producer of the best audiobook produced for children and/or young adults, available in English in the United States ||  || Children's Book Award (Posted by: Christi Lamb ert) || The award is named for Jane Addams who was the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize in 1931.
