  • How Teacher Inquiry Impacts Elementary
    FINDING POETIC JUSTICE: HOW TEACHER INQUIRY IMPACTS ELEMENTARY MATH INSTRUCTION by Kathleen McCarroll Moore B.A. (State University of New York at Albany) 1978 M.A. (Saint Mary’s College of California) 2007 A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctorate in Education Doctoral Program in Educational Leadership for Social Justice California State University, East Bay June 2012 Copyright © by Kathleen McCarroll Moore 2012 ii FINDING POETIC JUSTICE: HOW TEACHERS INQUIRY IMPACTS ELEMENTARY MATH INSTRUCTION Abstract African American students, commonly designated a sub-group in assessment data reports, consistently score well below their peers in mathematics. A consequence of this phenomenon is that math teachers often feel obligated to provide remedial methods of instruction focused on recall and repetitive practice, believing that these strategies will result in an increase in mathematical proficiency and lead to a narrowing of the achievement gap. This practice is socially unjust, excluding low-achieving math students from experiencing intellectually challenging or engaging math content, and limiting their academic opportunities. This study was designed to explore teacher attitudes and practices through an inquiry case study at a Title 1 elementary school in a high- performing suburban school district. Five elementary teachers self-assessed at the beginning and at the close of the study; they participated in a series of collaborative sessions to examine culturally relevant pedagogy, and to plan, deliver, and revise lessons using instructional methods deemed considerate of the cultural strengths that individual students bring to the classroom. Taking the stance of poetry as a form of culturally relevant pedagogy allowed the researcher to infuse poetry texts and research articles linking math and poetry into every phase of the inquiry case study.

Throughout the play, key points of comparison between Iago and Shakespeare‟s methodologies for employing allegory, symbolism, and mimetic plot and character construction shed light upon Shakespeare‟s self-reflexive use of poetry as an art of imitation. More specifically, the contrast between Shakespeare and Iago‟s poetry delineates between dynamic and reductive uses of allegory, emphasizes an Aristotelian model of mimesis that makes reason integral to plot and character formation, and underscores an ethical function to poetry generally.

  • Continuity and Change in Folk Prose Narrative
    Oral Tradition, 6/2 3 (1991): 316-324 Continuity and Change in Folk Prose Narrative Nada Milošević-Đorđević South Slavic culture developed a rich written literature from the very beginning of the institution of authentic Church Slavic. It is thus possible to investigate the full variety of its genres beginning with the ninth century. Both original and translated, this religious and profane literature was written not only in Church Slavic but also in the vernacular. Conditioned by different historical and cultural events, it varied regionally and chronologically, fl ourished and then declined, and evolved along very specifi c lines primarily because of the infl uence of oral literature. In short, oral verbal art was very often a link between periods and territories that preserved the continuity of South Slavic written literature and was sometimes the only means of artistic communication. It is, therefore, neither peculiar nor accidental that South Slavs should have an extraordinarily rich oral verbal art. Such oral literature continuously survived over the centuries in more or less “standardized form.” It is, indeed, mainly due to that form that it did survive, developing numerous patterns from a dynamic stock of formulas to stylistic conventions and a system of genres. Although in theoretical approaches to oral literature and discussions about its formulaic character, the very existence of genre was denied or, at least, called into question,1 investigation of older sources of Serbo-Croatian material demonstrates clearly the presence of generic categories. The present article deals with both older sources and new fi eld recordings of Serbo-Croatian material, the latter made in the Morava River basin around Leskovac, Serbia, in 1953-71 (Milošević-Đorđević 1988).

  • Writing Lives in China: the Case of Yang Jiang a DISSERTATION
    Writing Lives in China: the Case of Yang Jiang A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Jesse L. Field IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Paul Rouzer June, 2012 © Jesse Field 2012 i Acknowledgements My advisor, Paul Rouzer, introduced me to Tan yi lu (On the art of poetry, 1946) and Guan zhui bian (Chapters on pipe and awl, 1978) by Qian Zhongshu (1910-1998). I was fascinated, puzzled and intimidated by these strange and difficult texts. When I looked up Qian Zhongshu, I found that his wife Yang Jiang (b. 1911) had penned a memoir called Women sa (We three, 2003), about Qian’s death and the life he, she and their daughter Qian Yuan (1937-1995) had had together. I read the text and was deeply moved. Moreover, I was struck that Yang Jiang’s writing was a kind of contemporary manifestation of classical Chinese poetry. I decided to take a closer look. Thanks to Ann Waltner, Wang Liping, and my classmates in the 2006-7 graduate seminar in Chinese history for discussions and encouragement to begin this project. My first paper on Yang Jiang received invaluable feedback from participants in the 2007 “Writing Lives in China” workshop at the University of Sheffield, especially Margaretta Jolly and Wu Pei-yi. A grant from the CLA Graduate Research Partnership Program (GRPP) in the summer of that year helped me translate We Three. Parts of this dissertation underwent discussion at meetings of the Association for Asian Studies in 2009 and 2011 and, perhaps even more fruitfully, at the Midwest and Southwest Regional conferences for Asian Studies in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011.

  • Intermediate Skills Practice Worksheet
    3A SKILLS PRACTICE Lesson 2 Interaction of Ideas NAME: INTERMEDIATE Predicting Outcomes CLASS: How can you predict outcomes as you read? If you are reading fiction, use details from the text to make informed guesses about what will happen next. An informed guess is based on evidence or clues in the text. Through careful reading, you find clues in a text about characters and plot. Then you connect those clues with facts and information you already know. Together, the text clues and your background knowledge allow you to predict what will happen in the text. However, sometimes an author might try to trick a reader. The author might include clues and details in a story that have been deliberately written to lead readers toward making an incorrect prediction. An author may use a plot twist to send a story (and its reader) down an unexpected path. Plot twists can be fun! Authors use plot twists to entertain a reader with an unexpected turn of events. Unexpected shifts in the plot, or unexpected actions by a character, can completely undermine a reader’s prediction about how a story might end. Authors use plot twists to build tension, to make readers think deeply, and to keep readers engaged and interested. There are many kinds of plot twists that an author can introduce in a text. Here are examples of five popular ones: PLOT TWIST WHAT IT DOES EXAMPLE Occurring at the end of a story, this plot A character who had twist takes you to a different, surprising disappeared or died earlier in surprise ending conclusion than one you had predicted from a story appears again near the clues in earlier parts of the story.

I have been an avid bibliophile ever since childhood. Books served as gateways into fantastical worlds (they still do), filled with characters and situations that offered fresh perspectives to view and confront issues in my life. Creative writing is also such an intimate and mystical process. A writer can sit down and bring a countless number of seemingly impossible things to life on a page—which can do anything from charm to devastate the reader depending on the language used. The ability to do that strikes me as a sort of magic, challenging while also inherently playful, which speaks volumes for how much narratives shape our views and identities.
