Two articles emphasize the place of linguistics in the classroom and clarity some of the problems of traditional grammar. The three articles on literature cover Kenneth Burke's dramatistic elements, the theme-concept unit in literature, and a literature program for summer schools. The section on composition deals with the place of linguistics in composition, with revising themes, and with grading by records. Three articles cover teacher education and training, and the final four articles deal with curriculum development: reading in junior high schools, seminars for talented rural youth, research and development in the teaching of English, and ways of developing interdisciplinary seminars.

Olson, NCTE Director of Publications iv 5 Introduction The Committee on Promising Practices in the Teaching of English has chosen this year to present detailed descriptions of fifteen practices, both to aid classroom teachers and to inform curriculum supervisors, administrators, and the general public of some phases of the wide range and complexity of activities within the profession. We hope that these reports will stimulate. discussion, imitation, and further experimentation. Reports such as Peter Youmans' "Practicing Linguistics" outline for the secondary teacher useful, inventive, and intriguing lessons in the study of language. "Boinguage," as Mr. Youmans explains it, clarifies for the student many of the otherwise. insoluble problems of traditional grammar. Further, the lesson provides an insight into the creative teaching that is becoming yearly more apparent in the discipline of English. Finally, Mr. Youmans, bringing the work of Roberts and Fries successfully into the classroom, emphasizes the increasing role that linguistics is playing in thc secondary curriculum. On a broader scale, Erwin Steinberg's report on the Curriculum Center at the Carnegie Institute of Technology helps the reader gain an overview of one of the important projects being financed by the United States Office of Education. Dean Steinberg, until recently Coordinator for Project English, demonstrates the careful and extensive long-range plan- ning that has gone into the eleven curriculum centers around the country. He shows, moreover, that the curriculum materials which will begin to appear in the near future will have a tremendous impact throughout the United States in the next decade. By contrast, Robert Powell's highly personal essay on "Grading Com- positions on 331/2 rpm Records" points to the imaginative teaching being done by individuals around the country. His teaching trick may well be a practice which other teachers will find valuable. In a few reports, such as the Summer Reading Program for San Francisco, we have included an extensive bibliography of reading materials used successfully in the promising practice. Where a reader wants more bibliography or further details on a report, he is encouraged to correspond directly with the author of a promising practice, with members of the committee, or with Mr. Shugrue, 109 English Building, University of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois. The Committee wishes to thank the more than seventy teachers, cur- riculum supervisors, and administrators who contributed materials to this second Promising Practices Report, now called Patterns and Models. We regret that We were tumble to use every contribution. We have chosen, instead, topics inlive general areas, areas which represent professional activities now stimulating extensive discussion around the country. Three of the reports presented here, those by LeroyI biley, Gladys Veidemanis, and Peter YoUmans, were presented in slightly different form at the national convention of the National Council of Teachers of English in Cleveland in November, 1964, as pact of a program on "Promising Secondary Practices in the Teaching of English."

Well, no, but we do get them from textbooks. And while texts may not be direct experience, they are as truthful as direct experience, aren't they? As a matter of fact, they aren't. Because my library contains only sixteen sample composition texts, I have only that many definitions of the sentence. Sixteen variant defini- tions for a simple little thing like a sentence. Charles Fries, who has a somewhat larger library than I, has found 246 definitions of the sentence in current texts. And the truth? A popular handbook of composition before me advises would-be writers to embody important ideas in main clauses and lesser ideas in subordinate clauses. Two pages later, the author advises, "Never

We recommend reading the digital novel after clearing the game. 1 ©2019 IF/CH 2 Story 1 Long ago, several leagues below the surface of the sea, there existed a mighty kingdom of mermaids that stood upon the ocean floor. Among its many inhabitants were the six princesses, all of whom were daughters to the ruler of the kingdom, the King of the Mermaids. When each princess turned fifteen, she was granted permission to depart from the kingdom and visit the world of Man. Most of the princesses enjoyed regaling the youngest sister with whimsical tales of the land above the water, fueling her anticipation for the day she could see that magical world for herself. One day, however, one of the older sisters took the young princess aside to warn her. “Little Mermaid, you must listen to me. The human soul, although sacred enough to be claimed by the gods on the day they cross over to the other side, resides within a fragile, human body. We are not like them. Our bodies return to the ocean as seafoam in the end, but the body of a mermaid can outlive a human’s and live to see three hundred years pass before our time comes.” The elder mermaid tried her best to discourage her sister from leaving her home, but it was of no use. The young princess was fiercely determined to visit the world of Man.

  • BOURNONVILLE: SOME UNTOLD STORIES by Colin Roth
    BOURNONVILLE: SOME UNTOLD STORIES by Colin Roth ome important things that should have been said about Bournon- Sville have not been: this is an attempt to tackle some of the gaps. Story-telling strategies We have come to take the story-telling strategy of August Bournon- ville and Hans Christian Andersen so much for granted that we don’t notice how distinctive it is in comparison to that which pre- ceded it, or why it made such an impact when they first began to tell their tales. Bournonville and Andersen invite us inside the story and encour- age us to experience the feelings and experiences of the characters as though we were ourselves one of them. Specifically, they do that by presenting their theme within a heaving mass of naturalistic detail from which we have to recognise what matters most: it is our hav- ing to work at seeing, rather than having the artist select the theme and highlight it for us, that makes the narrative strategy so powerful. Moreover, the detail is frequently expressed in direct speech: char- acters come to life and utter exclamations or comments, juxtaposed vigorously and often ironically against the voices of others. It is a different approach to that in which a narrator, often recog- nisably the author’s own voice, tells the story and maintains a more This sentence paraphrases a similar announcement in J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, one of the great works of 0th century story-telling. This paper was written for and presented in printed form to the Bournville Symposium held at The Rigging Loft, The Opera, Copenhagen, [Takkelloftet, Opera- og Ballethuset, København] 8-9 August 005.

This was another banner year for DHIR testing. There were 38 herds on test in 16 different states. There were 11 herds testing standard sized does. The rest were Nigerians. There were 303 lactations completed in 2009. Some does completed more than one lactation. There were 155 qualifying records, although some does missed qualifying because they hadn’t been measured. There was one owner/sampler herd. The quality of Nigerians keeps improving. When testing first began it was unusual to see a record of 1,000 lbs. In 2009 there were 2 does over 1,500 lbs and a total of 18 over 1,000 lbs! There were 28 applications for one-day tests from 10 states made in 2009, and 21 tests were completed. 4 group tests and 17 single herd tests were done. There were 142 records, representing 25 owners. 83 does made qualifying records, including 3 does who participated in an ADGA one day test. 17 Nigerian bucks qualified as of March 1, 2010 for their plus sire titles, and one qualified as a ++S. 4 Nigerian does qualifed for stars by progeny.

REIMAGINED: AN ANALYSIS AND RETELLING OF HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSON’S WORKS PRESTON SMITH HONORS PROJECT Submitted to the Honors College at Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation with UNIVERSITY HONORS SPRING 2019 Abstract Where do modern retellings of classic fairytales stick to their source texts and where do they differ? Inspired by ABC’s fairytale drama Once Upon a Time, my reimagining project was born. I originally became obsessed with Hans Christian Andersen’s Snow Queen character both through this television series and through the character’s titular story, and after that, grew to love many of his tales from the nineteenth century. It has been two hundred years since Andersen was writing, and thus society has changed in ways potentially unimaginable in Andersen’s time. I have taken three of his stories— “The Snow Queen,” “The Little Mermaid,” and “Thumbelina”—and analyzed them through feminist and queer theory.
