The program's slogan "Ticket to Tomorrow" holds the promise of excitement for the young people you serve so capably. The poster art for this summer shows spaceship passengers holding their library cards as their tickets to tomorrow. That is a terrific message! A child's success in reading is one of the predictors of academic and life success. You offer a wonderfully broad array of materials tokeep children motivated about reading. As you build and reinforce the concept of reading for pleasure, you are helping children maintain and perhaps improve their reading skills during the summer months. Thank you for all the creative energy you devote to Wisconsin's young people and their families. May all your tomorrows be filled with the knowl- edge that you have made a significant difference in many, many lives. John T. Benson State Superintendent of Public Instruction 7 Preface Here we are, entering the 21st century and carrying on the tradition of providing excellent library service to children, young adults, and families. I hope some sort of tradition like this will still existprobably in some as-yet- unimagined formatswhen the next millennium comes around! By then there might be publishers on Pluto, jobbers on Jupiter, and manuscripts on Mars. But surely there will be storytellers, too. There will be adults who care deeply about providing the very bestcreative experiences for all chil- dren. New vocabularies and new artistic media will be used to stir imagina- tions, transmit traditions, and convey knowledge. For now, as we learn about rapidly changing technologies, we remain com- mitted to helping young readers learn to love books and our other library resources. Their library cards are, indeed, theirtickets to tomorrow in many ways. I hope this manual will help you get a good start in this new century. Let it stretch your own imagination and inventive potential; adapt its sugges- tions to make them fit your community. Above all, make the summer pro- gram one that you enjoy as much as the youngpeople and families you serve. Jane A. Roeber Program Coordinator and Manual Content Editor vii 8 Acknowledgments Artist David La Rochelle, of White Bear Lake, Minnesota, is the creator of the Ticket to Tomorrow poster art. His original art was created as a cut-paper collage. The boldly colored spaceship, passengers, comets, stars, and books are sure to draw the cheerful attention of children and adults alike. And the library cards in the passengers' hands tell their own important story! A former elementary school teacher, LaRochelle is a popular visiting author-illustrator in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and North Dakota schools. His puzzles, art, stories, and poems appear frequently in Spider and Cricket magazines. He has written eight puzzle books in the Mad Mysteries series (Price, Stern, 1995-1998). He is the author of A Christmas Guest (Carolrhoda, 1988) and The Evening King (Atheneum, 1993) and he has illustrated books by Donna Erickson, Janet Greeson, Jill McNamara, and Debbie O'Neal. David LaRochelle is an artist to watch. We are delighted to have him along as Wiscon- sin librarians and their program participants begin the 21st century with a Ticket to Tomorrow. 2000 Planning Committee Claudia Backus Sharon Charles Waukesha County Federated Library Southwest Wisconsin Library System System Fennimore, WI Waukesha, WI Representing Southwest Wisconsin Library Representing Waukesha County Federated System .

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 042 667 SO 000 190 AUTHOR Coburn, Barbara; And Others TITLE Teaching About Africa South of the Sahara; A Guide and Resource Packet for Ninth Grade Social Studies. INSTITUTION State Univ. of New York, Albany. SPONS AGENCY New York State Education Dept., Albany. Bureau of Secondary Curriculum Development. PUB DATE 70 NOTE 285p. EDRS PRICE EDRS Price MF-$1.25 HC-$14.35 DESCRIPTORS African Culture, *African History, Case Studies, Concept Teaching, *Grade 9, *Inductive Methods, Inquiry Training, Instructional Materials, Multimedia Instruction, *Resource Materials, Secondary Grades, Social Change, Social Studies Units, *Teaching Guides, Urbanization ABSTRACT This guide provides a sampling of reference materials which are pertinent for two ninth grade units: Africa South of the Sahara: Land and People, and Africa South of the Sahara: Historic Trends. The effect of urbanization upon traditional tribalistic cultures is the focus. A case study is used to encourage an inductive approach to the learning process. It is based upon the first hand accounts of Jomo Kenyatta and Mugo Gatheru as they grew up within the traditions of their ethnic group --the Kikuyu of Kenya. Materials using the "mystery story" approach are included for an analysis of the iron age culture at Zimbabwe. The case study package purposely does not go into detail on such steps as the identification of theme and the determination of procedures to encourage individualization. The latter part of the guide is arranged as a reference section by subtopic or understanding including questions suggesting the direction of inquiry, and pertinent reading selections, diagrams, maps and drawings. Finally, an annotated bibliography lists materials that are currently in print or available through regional libraries.

  • Objects in Tom Stoppard's Arcadia
    Cercles 22 (2012) ANIMAL, VEGETABLE OR MINERAL? OBJECTS IN TOM STOPPARD’S ARCADIA SUSAN BLATTÈS Université Stendhal—Grenoble 3 The simplicity of the single set in Arcadia1 with its rather austere furniture, bare floor and uncurtained windows has been pointed out by critics, notably in comparison with some of Stoppard’s earlier work. This relatively timeless set provides, on one level, an unchanging backdrop for the play’s multiple complexities in terms of plot, ideas and temporal structure. However we should not conclude that the set plays a secondary role in the play since the mysteries at the centre of the plot can only be solved here and with this particular group of characters. Furthermore, I would like to suggest that the on-stage objects play a similarly vital role by gradually transforming our first impressions and contributing to the multi-layered meaning of the play. In his study on the theatre from a phenomenological perspective, Bert O. States writes: “Theater is the medium, par excellence, that consumes the real in its realest forms […] Its permanent spectacle is the parade of objects and processes in transit from environment to imagery” [STATES 1985 : 40]. This paper will look at some of the parading or paraded objects in Arcadia. The objects are many and various, as can be seen in the list provided in the Samuel French acting edition (along with lists of lighting and sound effects). We will see that there are not only many different objects, but also that each object can be called upon to assume different functions at different moments, hence the rather playful question in the title of this paper (an allusion to the popular game “Twenty Questions” in which the identity of an object has to be guessed), suggesting we consider the objects as a kind of challenge to the spectator, who is set the task of identifying and interpreting them.
