  • 2​Nd​- Into 3​Rd​- Grade Summer Reading List
    nd rd 2 -​ into 3 -​ Grade Summer Reading List ​ ​ *============================* Liz Perry, Librarian for Stacey Hubbard, 2020 Listed below are books to read to your children and books for your children—if they are ​ ready—to read on their own. A fine guide to reading comfort is a thoughtful evaluation of your child’s response to what sits in his or her lap: Is he or she mastering most of the words on the page? If there is frustration, consider an easier read. For your own read-aloud interest—and to connect with stories you might have encountered long ​ ago—books below are separated into categories contemporary and classic. While books published more than 50 years ago may have old-fashioned views, they represent takes on cultural views and rituals of family life that become more varied (politically correct) in later works of fiction. It is worth noting that an “adventure” a hundred years ago could dwell in the simplest of activities: finding stray buttons while dusting or following a butterfly across a meadow. What is worthy of the term “adventure” in juvenile literature today? Parent read-alouds are still rewarding social exchanges even with proficient readers, and conversation around stories can give revealing glimpses into how your child experiences and interprets the world. I Can-Read/Ready-to-Read Series While there are many worthy reads in this genre featuring books children will want (and perhaps need) to read multiple times, choices below tend toward more traditional illustration and a gentler narrative voice. As you make your selections, try to avoid cartoon-like formats that sometimes over-simplify the beauty of nature or caricature the human form.

  • The Art Education of Recklessness: Thinking Scholarship Through the Essay
    The Art Education of Recklessness: Thinking Scholarship through the Essay DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Stephen Mark Morrow, M.A. Graduate Program in Arts Administration, Education and Policy The Ohio State University 2017 Dissertation Committee: John Richardson, Ph.D., Advisor Jennifer Richardson, Ph.D. Sydney Walker, Ph.D. Copyrighted by Stephen Mark Morrow 2017 Abstract This document has been (for me, writing) and is (for you, reading) a journey. It started with a passing remark in Gilles Deleuze’s 1981 book Francis Bacon: The Logic of Sensation. That remark concerned the cliché. The psychic clichés within us all. The greatest accomplishment of the mind is thinking, which according to Deleuze means clawing through and beyond the cliché. But how? I found in my research that higher education art schools (like the higher education English departments in which I had for years taught) claim to teach thinking, sometimes written as “critical thinking,” in addition to all the necessary skills of artmaking. For this dissertation, I set off on a journey to understand what thinking is, finding that Deleuze’s study of the dogmatic image of thought and its challenger, the new image of thought—a study he calls noo-ology—to be quite useful in understanding the history of the cliché and originality, and for understanding a problematic within the part of art education that purports to use Deleuzian concepts toward original thinking/artmaking. This document is both about original contributions to any field and is my original contribution to the field.

This question preoccupied Americans at the turn of the twentieth century. This course looks at the development of the United States as an urban, industrial, and multicultural society from 1890 to 1920. In addition, we will study the attempts of the United States to rise as a world power. This course devotes special attention to the nation’s effort to accommodate old values with new realities. Please be aware that as an upper-division level history course, this class is reading and writing intensive. While this course has no prerequisites, if you have not had a survey course of American History (especially 1877 to the present) then I strongly recommend you secure a textbook and read the few chapters on the Progressive Era.

They had come from Ohio and for five days had driven across plains and deserts and over mountains to the old hotel in the California foothills twenty-five miles from Highway 40. 1 The fourth person entering Room 215 may have known he was being watched, but he did not care. He was Matt, sixty if he was a day, who at the moment was the bellboy. Matt also replaced worn-out lightbulbs, renewed washers in leaky faucets, carried trays for people who telephoned room ser- vice to order food sent to their rooms, and sometimes prevented children from hitting 2 one another with croquet mallets on the lawn behind the hotel.
