*Children's Poetry Pizazz*
During this workshop, you will learn the importance of sharing poetry 
with children and discover techniques for effectively promoting poetry. 
You will exchange ideas for creating thematic units with poetry, for 
writing poetry, for choral readings using sound effects, and for 
combining drama with poetry. You will also explore how to liven up your 
library with poetry bulletin boards, displays, and contests. The latest 
and greatest poetry books for children will be examined.

*Children's Literature Update: 2005-2006*
Sharing, evaluating, and compiling a bibliography of recent publications 
in the field of children's literature is just one aspect of this 
workshop. Participants will also learn about recent releases in 
children's literature and receive suggestions for their use. In 
addition, this workshop will introduce the annual recommended reading 
and award lists and give participants experience in utilizing selection 
tools for evaluating children's materials. Finally, students will learn 
how to acquire promotional materials to provide programming ideas for 
newer titles.
