NCompass Live - 3/2/16
http://nlc.nebraska.gov/ncompasslive/
In the last few years we've witnessed a boom in Young Adult literature both in the marketing of books and its readership. YA literature includes many firsts such as: first crush, first kiss, first love, first moral dilemma. The birth of New Adult literature takes it one step further. As the YA readers age out publishers are seeing New Adult as the next, new step. But what does New Adult literature mean for editors, publishing companies and librarians? A few years ago, editors at St. Martin's Press held a contest. The results helped them to coin the term New Adult Fiction. What were they thinking when they came up with the term? And who did they think the readership would be? How did Indie authors impact the market? And where do you place these works of fiction in your collection? In this presentation we will: define New Adult Fiction and explore its history, identify books and publishers, and analyze its fast-paced success. At the end of the session, participants will: understand the significance of New Adult Fiction, identify motivated readers, and consider innovative ways to promote and integrate New Adult Fiction into their collections.

How Stories Began Chapter 3
From the time we are very young, we see the world and understand our lives through stories. We
learn from them long before we can explain what a story is. Research shows that young children
can identify which is the story when presented with an unfamiliar five-minute narrative about a
boy with magical powers and a five-minute presentation written humorously to describe how to
play a children’s game (McAdams, 1996). The recognizable pattern of a story is as old as human
existence; we have always been storytellers.
3.1 How Stories Began
Your environment and personal experiences influence your response to stories. Whether you
are aware of it or not, the lens through which you envision a story is filtered by insights you have
gained from family traditions, religious beliefs, and critical life issues. Thus, interpretations of a
story vary based on the reader’s age, breadth of experience, and emotional connection. Likewise,
interpretations differ from culture to culture. For example, stories that once grew out of particu-
lar political controversies continue to be told long after the original political context has been for-
gotten. The familiar nursery rhyme “Rock-a-bye Baby” is a classic example. In late 17th-century
England, when there was a struggle for political power between Catholics and Protestants, King
James II, who had converted to Catholicism, came to power. The “Rock-a-bye Baby” narrative is
thought to reflect the rumor that the son born to him and the queen was not their child—but
a boy hidden and secretly exchanged, giving them a Catholic heir to the throne—until, at some
point (“when the bough breaks”) the truth would be known. The Oxford Book of Nursery Rhymes
provides extensive background information about the stories that became known as nursery
rhymes with the publication of John Newbery’s book Mother Goose’s Melody in mid-18th-century
England.
The earliest stories in every culture are its myths, anonymous stories through which primitive
people sought to explain the world around them, including the mysteries of divinity, creation,
truth, and death. Literature often retells myths, using them as literary patterns. Because Greek
and Roman myths are the ones most closely related to our culture, their patterns turn up often
in other literatur.

“Mommy, There’s a Nigger at the Door” A critique
Racism has become a current sociopolitical condition. It is like the destructive organism in our society that inhibits the probability of people’s cohesion and integration. For decades, the issue has ruined the relationships among various races and caused harm to individuals. As kids, people try to configure their environment, assess the secure and insecure areas, individuals, and things. They establish the costs and benefits of particular types of relationships and define themselves depending on their socialization. The article “Mommy, there’s a Nigger at the Door’ by Ronald L. Jackson II seeks to portray the experiences that the black people face in foreign lands. They were majorly affected by racism as they were prevented from having equal opportunities as their white counterparts. Comment by Professor LJ: not a critical thesis
The article opens up with Jackson sharing his episodes on racial prejudice. As he commenced his daily collection routine, the 11 years old young black male was crushed. This was another instance that the boy had to deal with racism but the first situation he encountered from a well-trained “baby” racist. Jackson blamed himself and his mother for the poor treatment received from the whites. His assessment of the white boy and the parents enables him to judge the connections to establish. For the past thirty years, Jackson’s family had lived in the north of Midwestern, US, where they joked that racism was hidden in the honey. The author’s parents grew in the region with blacks and whites, but he and his brother were raised in the white’s rural and suburbs areas. In this place, he would have to travel to areas not conducive to his 10-speed bike. He once intended to establish a relationship with a white girl, but she turned him down because the father could not allow her to date a black person. Besides, the author’s parents had established friendship with a few whites and many blacks. The narrator further describes one of the episodes when he first experienced racism in school at seven years. He depicts how the black students were discriminated and ridiculed. The writer concludes by explaining his views on racism while including its effects on his way of life.
The article is a racism essay written in six pages and illustrated in three subtitles. The author is a professor of media, arts, and communication. He was also a former McMicken College of Arts and Sciences’ dean at the University of Cincinnati. Through personal experiences, Jackson tries to depict the manifestation of racial prejudice against the blacks in the USA, in particular among the children. Besides, he uses this technique to sensitize the implications of the problem in the society. The title, “Mommy, there’s a Nigger at the Door,” is useful in introducing the reader to the theme of the article. The subject of the text is r.
African-American Children’s Picturebooks: Examining the Genres of Childhood, ...
By tracing a genre of resistance and cultural identity through African-American children’s picturebooks we can learn about the importance of how children understand themselves and their place within the community. Even during the current Golden Age of publishing, picturebooks still continue to lack African-American writers and illustrators. The question of why this is happening will be covered throughout this study by investigating statistical and scholarly sources. Also, the history of how African-Americans were portrayed in picturebooks through racist and stereotypical portrayals will be examined. Even today scholars continue to debate as to whether published works for children continue to contain racist depictions of Blacks. African-American children’s literature can be used as a tool to discuss how to reimagine racist stereotypes and be aware of the racist history within the stories marketed to children. The political benefit of teaching African-American picturebooks within community settings has key value for children of all races and backgrounds and provides role models that validate the importance of the Black experience in literature. Positive portrayals of African-Americans teach Black children the importance of diversity and prepare them for adulthood. By highlighting African-American children’s literature through, before or after school programs and camps, children will learn the importance of the Black cultural experience and understand the value of sharing and recognizing in the positive depictions of everyday Black life.

It addresses financial problems that led to the closure of schools, difficulties finding qualified staff who aligned with the progressive ideals, and the role of personal relationships among school founders.

Social cognitive theory
Social Cognitive Theory states that learning can occur by observing and modeling behaviors. (1) It focuses on how self-regulation, self-efficacy, and observational learning impact behavior. (2) To help students become self-regulated learners, needed skills must be explicitly taught, such as learning strategies and techniques. (3) Research shows that peers are more effective models than adults, and modeling is most impactful when models are similar to the observers.
