Mock+Caldecott

=WSU Mock Caldecott= Each November, the Charles & Renate Frydman Educational Resource Center (ERC) at Wright State University hosts a Mock Caldecott workshop in the ERC's Media Production Lab. During this 4-hour workshop, attendees have the opportunity to view a screened list of approximately 75 potential titles for the Caldecott Medal to be awarded at the next ALA Midwinter Meeting (the following January or February). After discussion and voting, the group selects an Award Winner and Honor Book(s). Attendees are encouraged to replicate this activity with their students in the coming months and watch the webcast of the ALA Youth Media Awards to see how their Mock Caldecott results compared to the Caldecott Medal Committee's decision.

Copies of the lists can be found on this wiki: http://wsuerc.wikispaces.com/Mock+Caldecott
