We trust that there are other traces, of course, including some new, or at least fresh ideas in the minds of the almost 1,200 participants. The special theme of this particular conference, Reading Between and Beyond the Lines, continued the emphasis that has characterized the Claremont Reading Conference since its inception, which has been to further amplify the holistic na- ture of reading behavior while suggesting educational appli- cations for practical situations. In the holistic frame, reading becomes first and foremost a thinking process. In such a view, a significant but not exclusive form of reading is "thinking with language" in its graphic or printed word form. We are concerned with that form of reading, of course, because of its power in facilitating thinking itself and because, as a conse- quence, it plays such an imp,' tant role in life, not to mention school. But there are other symbol systems that have been evolved to "hold down" thoughts just as there are other stimuli in the environment for which readers can create mean- ing. An holistic view of reading requires one to broaden his frame of reference to include not only a concern for evoking reading abilities with regard for a wide range of "things to be read," but as well to see similarities and contrasts in the different aspects of reading behavior when itis broadly viewed. As a consequence, one may perhaps learn to dis- criminate between the important and the relatively unim- portant in reading behavior while gaining insight into proce- dures that may be applied in real life situations. The essays included here are consequently on a broader range of topics than one might expect to find in a volume re- porting the proceedings of a "conference on reading." The reader will find some treat the problem of reading narrowly, others are on topics more clearly concerned with reading in its broader context. It will be of particular interest to many of our readers to call attention to the concluding essay in this volume, "The Claremont Reading Conference: Its Message and Educational Implications," by Peter L. Spencer, Professor Emeritus at the v 6 Claremont Graduate School and founder of the Claremont Reading Conference. Written especially for this Yearbook, it presents the broad view of reading by the man whose vision of the reading process has continued to be such a worthy guide for forty years. To honor his insight and important con- tribution to the understanding of reading behavior, there has been established a Peter Lincoln Spencer Lecture, to be held annually during the Claremont Reading Conference. I wish to express here my appreciation to the many people who join together each year in seeing to the continuation of this conference series. Special thanks in this regard go to Mrs. Jean Phelps, the conference Executive Secretary, and to Alpha Iota Chapter of Pi Lambda Theta, an active association now forty years strong. MALCOLM P. DOUGLASS Director, Claremont Reading Conference vi 7 Reading Between and Beyond the Lines Malcolm P. Douglass This year

As detailed in the program, participants dressed in blackface and performed skits for audiences in Portland, Oregon. Programs in the OHS Research Library collection indicate the church performed minstrel shows from the 1940s until at least 1950. During that time, the church moved the show from a single performance at Grant High School to two performances at Civic Auditorium. ON THE COVER: On May 26, 2017, White supremacist Jeremy Christian verbally attacked two young women, one wearing a hijab, on a light-rail train in Portland, Oregon. Three men intervened, and Christian killed Ricky Best and Taliesin Namkai-Meche, while severely injuring Micah Fletcher. In the days following the attack, a powerful, tangible response from the community developed at the Hollywood MAX station — a memorial to the victims that included chalk messages, photographs, candles, and flowers. Jackie Labrecque, then a reporter for KATU News, took this photograph at dawn after someone wrote, in pink chalk, Taliesin Namkai-Meche’s final words: “Please tell everyone on this train I love them.” The memorial, a response to tragedy, also provided hope through a resounding denouncement of hate.

  • Kent Denver Summer Reading Guide: Upper School
    VER EN SC D H T O N O E L K Summer Reading Guide 2016 Upper School S i 2 n c e 1 9 2 Where will books take you this summer? Kent Denver School | 4000 E. Quincy Ave., Englewood, CO 80113 1 Table of Contents Summer Reading at Kent Denver 3 Upper School Reading Program Statement 4 Upper School Recommendations 5 The Reader’s Bill of Rights 64 2 Summer Reading at Kent Denver School “It is what you read when you don’t have to that determines what you will be when you can’t help it.” Oscar Wilde School-Wide Approach During the school year, students and adults report that they are so busy with school and work that they have very little time to read for pleasure. Sure, students read, but often only what they are assigned, what has been chosen for them. An assigned reading system inadvertently implies that students should only read when it is required. In various discussions the Kent Denver faculty has confirmed—virtually in one voice—that summer should be a time for all of us to recharge without the pressures of homework and school, and to rediscover reading for pleasure. Choice of texts forms the foundation of the summer shift away from “what do I have to read?” to “what do I want to read?” The research on the efficacy of summer read- ing overwhelmingly supports that students get more from summer reading when they choose their own texts. Choice allows students to pick books at reading levels appropriate to their own levels and to choose topics and genres about which they truly care.

Every day others die so that we may live. I realize this simple premise after fieldwork. For six months, during the spring and summer of 2016, I visited 13 southern Ohio homesteads interviewing an intergenerational population, ranging in age from 23-65, about their decision live off-grid in the Ohio River Valley as a form of environmental activism. During fieldwork, I helped participants mix sand, straw, and clay to create cob—one of the earliest-recorded building materials. I attended workshops on permaculture and tiny homes. My participants told me why they chose to build with rammed earth, citing examples from the 11th and 12th centuries. I learned about off-grid living and how to recycle rainwater. I built windows with salvaged wine bottles and framed walls from scrap tires.
