My first class in the School Library Media Program at McDaniel was Literature for Children and one of my final classes is Literature for Young Adults. During that first course I decided to create my Annotated Bibliography as a web site so that students would be able to access it online. I will be doing the same with my Young Adult Annotated Bibliography. I want to encourage students to read some of these fabulous books which can make a reader cry with anguish or whoop with laughter at a character's plight. The Midwife's Apprentice presents Brat, a young girl so poor that she sleeps in a dung heap. A Year Down Yonder gives us Grandma Dowdel who knocks pecans from trees with a tractor. Also included in the web site are annotations for older books such as Sarah, Plain and Tall, and contemporary, multicultural titles such as Martin's Big Words and A Single Shard. Therefore, the Children's and Young Adult Literature web sites meet the Target level of this standard.
