Pathfinder #1 World Authors for High School Seniors NAME: Martha R. Bonvillain SCHOOL: Mount Notre Dame High School WORKSHOP LOCATION: Bradford Media Center at Kings Mills High School TITLE OF COMPANION ACTION PLAN: World Authors for High School Seniors GRADE LEVEL: 12 SUBJECT: Literature SPECIFIC TOPIC: World Authors, whose works were written originally in a language other than English. CONTENT INFORMATION Although world literature is a standard class for high school seniors, it tends to become British literature. The most likely reason is that biographical and critical information for authors who write in any language other than English has been very limited in most high school library media centers. Technology has made the world smaller and made all of us more aware of other cultures. Also technology in the form of the Internet has vastly expanded resources available to high school students and teachers. Recently a teacher asked me for a list of foreign language writers to use for the class, I decided to compile a pathfinder as well as a list to meet the need. The databases and websites are all available at Mount Notre Dame, and the books are in our print collection. Obviously the titles used will vary with each library and each teacherbs assignment. The list of authors is at the end of the Path Finder.
