To Mary and all of us: In September I put together a packet of information on science fiction for a high school science teacher who wanted to incorporate literature circles/novel reading into his science classes. Here's the information I sent him: Web sites: Science fiction and fantasy for children: an annotated bibliography for educators http://libnt1.lib.uoguelph.ca/SFBib/index.htm Searchable database; each annotation includes a summary of the book and appropriate age/grade levels Recommended chidren's SF and fantasy, from Strange Horizons http://www.mamohanraj.com/kidssf.html Annotated, with age levels. Unfortunately, this page is blocked by the district's internet filter (Websense). Access it from home if necesary for the good information included. Golden Duck awards for excellence in children's science fiction literature (Australia) http://www.goldenduck.org Awards given annual for picture book, middle grades, and young adult sf Recommended science fiction for use as a classroom tool http://www.sff.net/people/etchemendy/recommendedsf.htm In three groups: picture books and early readers; for middle graders and young teens; for high school and young adults. Lightly annotated. A notated of caution from this page: "We encourage you to read books on this list prior to assigning them or reading them aloud in class, as many science fiction novels deal frankly with difficult and controversial social issues." Science Fiction stories with good science: Teaching resources to accompany the textbook, Voyages http://www.hbcollege.com/astro/fraknoi/stories/ch11.html Ignore the text at the top of the page "password required" Scroll down to the dropdown boxes for specific chapters or to the link to "other science fiction stories with good science" As an example of resources linked to a chapter: Teaching resources to accompany Voyages, Chapter 11, Rings, moon and Pluto http://www.hbcollege.com/astro/fraknoi/stories/ch11.html Other science fiction stories with good science http://www.hbcollege.com/astro/fraknoi/stories/other.html Lightly annotated Proving that oil and water mix: science and literature in the middle school. Jim Brewbaker and Kerri Deal. The ALAN Review, Spring 2000. http://scholar.lib.vt.edu/ejournals/ALAN/spring00/brewbaker.html Enjoy! Cheers. Edith.
