Anancy Festival: Common Core Standards



My upcoming contributions to the Anancy Festival may be of special interest to educators. The two activities, A Poet’s Toolbox and Grandpa Sydney’s Anancy Stories, meet the Common Core Standards for Literacy and Multicultural Literacy:

CCSS.ELA-Literacy (RL.3.1CCSS.ELA-Literacy; RL.3.2CCSS.ELA-Literacy; RL.3.3CCSS.ELA-Literacy; RL.3.4CCSS.ELA-Literacy; RL.3.5CCSS.ELA-Literacy; RL.3.6CCSS.ELA-Literacy; RL.3.7CCSS.ELA-Literacy; RL.3.9CCSS.ELA-Literacy; RL.3.10)

(CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.3.3; CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.3.3a ; CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.3.3b ;CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.3.3c ; CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.3.3d ; CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.3.4 ; CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.3.5; CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.3.6 ;CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.3.7 ; CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.3.8 ; CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.3.10 )

MulticulturalLiteracy (RL.9-10.6.;RI.9-10.7.;W.9-10.2.;W.9-10.4.;W.9-10.5.;W.9-10.6.;W.9-10.7.; W.9-10.8.;SL.9-10.4.;SL.9-10.5.;SL.9-10.6.;RH.9-10.6.;WHST.9-10.6.)

As a preview, Grandpa Sydney’s Anancy Stories, which as a part of a bullying series on WAMC won  "Special Mention" from the Associated Press (http://www.wamc.org/post/wamc-wins-19th-annual-communicator-awards), is available for a free download until June 15, 2013.

Anancy Writes Poetry!



For the upcoming Anancy Festival, I’ve gone back into my folders from my days as a “Bicycle Poet” (see below) and updated an exercise that should enable parents and children to write a poem by the end of the presentation. The exercise should also be of interest to educators who are interested in meeting Common Core State Standards: Literacy and Multicultural Literacy.

I won’t tell you how it’s done—you’ll have to come to the festival for that--but the primary goal is to have parents and children working together on an imaginative project—which is what the Anancy Festival is all about: Family Fun!

Hope to see you there!
