SEC: New periodical-Multicultural

[Patricia Gosda <PGOSDA@VMS1.NYSED.GOV>]

I have a sample issue of a new periodical that looks very good
for multicultural education.  It's called FORKROADS:  A Journal of
Ethnic-American Literature.  It's edited by Newbery-honor author
David Kherdian.  Nonny Hogrogian, two-time Caldecott winner, is the
art director.

The first issue includes peotry, fiction, memoirs, an interview with
Piri Thomas and a super article about growing up in America, called
"Jews without Yiddish".  The writing is literate and substantial.
This would be great for secondary teachers to use with multicultural
units or just for English teachers to use as good literature.

If you're interested in more info:

    Forkroads
    Box 150
    Spencertown, NY 12165

Subscriptions are $20 a year in US.  $25 in Canada.  $35 overseas.

I'm not connected with this periodical--just want to share the word
about a good new product.
