In addition to various print materials, the bibliography lists art prints, compact discs, audiocassettes, videos, CD-ROMs, and kits. This multi-resource approach provides students with opportunities to interact with a wide range of current materials to suit varied learning styles and to address individual students needs, interests, and abilities. The bibliography includes several picture books or books with a significant visual focus. Picture books often present issues or ideas in brief, dramatic text and use visuals that promote discussion and that support the viewing component of the language arts curriculum. It is important that human resources be accessed as well.
Every community has capable people who can enrich educational experiences.
Local and provincial personnel include storytellers, public librarians, historians, Elders, writers, and writers in residence. To assist schools in accessing human resources, lists of organizations have been included in the bibliography. Students should have an opportunity to become familiar with their own literary heritage. In annotations of A30 resources, works of Canadian and Saskatchewan origin are highlighted. The sampling of works by Saskatchewan writers in this bibliography is intended as a starting point for student exploration of the wide range of Saskatchewan literature available within the province.
