  • In-School Mentoring Activity Manual
    In-School Mentoring Activity Manual Introducing the Manual and the value of Play Welcome to the In-School Mentoring Program. We hope you are as excited as we are about participating in a program designed to help boost kids’ self-confidence. Sometimes mentors and mentees can get stumped for activities they can do together in one hour. This manual serves as a resource guide. Here you will find new activities, games and craft ideas. Also provided are tried and true hints and advice from current mentors in the field. General information on children’s stages of development is included. This background information may help you to chose a more accurate game to play with your mentee based on his/her skill level, or may remind you of the outside factors your mentee is dealing with at his/her age. Mentors often ask “How does play activity benefit mentees?” Here is a brief response on the value of play… “On the playground of life, game playing equips each of us with the “rules of the game.” As youngsters, games taught us how to work together, to accommodate, and to help one another. Through playful moments, children can act out real-life situations. In imagined contexts, they can learn how to solve problems, look for options, and resolve conflicts. By winning or losing at games, children experience the real world but in less harsh fashion. Children learn about their environment and how to relate to other children, as well as grown-ups. They learn about healthy competition and about trying to do their best.

Some of the major findings werethat overall, about 77 percent of time is devoted to program contentand 23 percent to announcements of various kinds; thatcommercial announcements (CA's)--product and program promotion--accountfor almost 19 percent of total time; that there were morecommercials within programs than between programs; that CA's were evenlydivided among four major categories--toys, cereals, candy, and other foods;that CA's appear to have both sexual and racial biases;and that little product information is given in the CA's. Otherfindings were that noncommercial announcements were primarilyeither youth-oriented or for medical or environmental causes,and some of these did not appear to be appropriate for children.Also, when individual cartoons and other program segments were studiedin detail for subject matter, it was found that 64 percentof the dramatic programming was in some sense violent, while 67 percentof nondramatic segments dealt with science and technology, race and nationality,literature and fine arts, and nature..

Speaker 1: Major funding for BackStory is provided by an anonymous donor, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Joseph and Robert Cornell Memorial Foundation. Brian Balogh: From Virginia Humanities, this is BackStory. Brian Balogh: Welcome to BackStory, the show that explains the history behind today's headlines. I'm Brian Balogh. Ed Ayers: I'm Ed Ayers. Joanne Freeman: And I'm Joanne Freeman. Brian Balogh: If you're new to the podcast, we're all historians, along with our colleague Nathan Connolly. Each week, we explore a topic in American history. Ed Ayers: For many Americans, nothing brings back wistful childhood memories quite like Sesame Street. Whether it was practicing your ABCs with Big Bird, learning the value of friendship from Bert and Ernie, or exploring your emotions with Elmo, the show has a special place in hearts all across the country. Ed Ayers: Since it first aired in 1969, Sesame Street has raked in countless awards and has become one of the longest running children's television shows in history. But in 1966, Sesame Street was nothing more than an idea. Lloyd Morrisett: Several of the people at the party were interested in or actually working in television.
