  • Using Urban Fiction to Engage Atrisk and Incarcerated Youths in Literacy
    Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy 55(5) February 2012 doi:10.1002/JAAL.00047 © 2012 International Reading Association (pp. 385–394) Using Urban Fiction to Engage At-Risk and Incarcerated Youths in Literacy Instruction How can we select Stephanie F. Guerra literature that will appeal to at-risk and incarcerated On any given day, more than 100,000 youths are incarcerated in the United States (Snyder & Sickmund, 2006). Countless more are considered teens—and meet the “at-risk” for incarceration, based on factors such as homelessness, poverty, requirements for use in gang membership, substance abuse, grade retention, and more. Unfortunately, gender and race can be considered risk factors as well. correctional facilities and The most recent Department of Justice (DOJ) census showed that 85% of high schools? incarcerated teens are male (Snyder & Sickmund, 2006). Thirty-eight percent of the youths in the juvenile justice system are black, and 19% are Hispanic (Snyder & Sickmund, 2006). The DOJ predicted that the juvenile correctional population will increase by 36% by the year 2020, mostly because of growth in the Hispanic male population (Snyder & Sickmund, 2006). Research points to literacy as a major protective factor against incarceration for at-risk youths (Christle & Yell, 2008), while reading difficulty has been documented as one of the leading risk factors for delinquency (Brunner, 1993; Drakeford, 2002; Leone, Krezmien, Mason, & Meisel, 2005; Malmgren & Leone, 2000). For teens already in custody, literacy skills are strongly correlated with a lower chance of recidivism (Leone et al., 2005). In fact, reading instruction has been more effective than shock incarceration or boot camps at reducing recidivism (Center on Crime, Communities, and Culture, 1997).

  • INTRODUCTION a Sense of the Place the Leelanau
    INTRODUCTION A Sense of the Place The Leelanau Peninsula is one of those places that visitors love because it conforms so readily to their idea of it. It is a place to resort, to recreate, to escape the pace of city life, to find solitude and seek tranquility. In the slapdash language of travel magazines it is both a destination and a state of mind; a Mecca for nature lovers; a precious gem awaiting discovery; the Riviera of the North and the Cape Cod of the Great Lakes Such designations mean nothing, of course. A place can’t be captured in easy phrases. To understand Leelanau you must spend time there. To know the place – any place – you must invest yourself in it, dig into it with your hands and feet, bury your face in it, get a noseful, an earful, a mouthful. It feels like home to me. I worked here summers when I was a kid, and year-round as a young man, and have lived most of my life within a few miles of it. I’ve hiked, fished, hunted, biked, camped, skied here; have returned for family reunions, graduations, weddings, and funerals. My mother and her sisters and brother were born in Glen Arbor and spent much of their early lives exploring the dunes, the woods, and the Lake Michigan shore. My father’s family bought acreage in the southern portion of the county in the 1940s and established the original Sleeping Bear Farms, where they grew cherries and made maple syrup and raised palominos. Several dozen of my cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and shirtsleeve relatives on both sides live here or are buried here.

    Cuban Missile Crisis The Cuban Missile Crisis, also known as the October 1 Earlier actions by the United Crisis (Spanish: Crisis de octubre), The Missile Scare, States or the Caribbean Crisis (Russian: Карибский кризис, tr. Karibskiy krizis), was a 13-day (October 14–28, 1962) confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union over Soviet ballistic missiles deployed in Cuba. It played out on television worldwide and was the closest the Cold War came to escalating into a full-scale nuclear war. In response to the failed Bay of Pigs Invasion of 1961, and the presence of American Jupiter ballistic missiles in Italy and Turkey against the USSR with Moscow within range, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev decided to agree to Cuba’s request to place nuclear missiles in Cuba to deter future harassment of Cuba. An agreement was reached during a secret meeting between Khrushchev and Fidel Castro in July and construction on a number of missile launch facilities started later that summer. An election was underway in the U.S. and the White House had denied Republican charges that it was ignoring Fidel Castro embracing Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, 1961 dangerous Soviet missiles 90 miles from Florida.
