S MITH If you are like me, when you pick up a newly published or newly acquired book, you fan through the pages, stopping here and there to look at the illustrations—be they diagrams, photographs, or comic images. They all draw us in! But, the comic illustrations often have the greatest impact because they are frequently used to vividly express ideas, emotions, and action in the context of the narrative. You are then presented with the mental invitation to start reading the text and if it is interesting, compelling, and coherent you’re “hooked.” In this volume, Syma and Weiner provide us with a series of essays describing robust associations among authors and illustrators to produce graphic novels, novelettes, textbooks and other curricula materials. Through the collective works we are offered suggestions that graphic creations have enhanced power to engage and instruct learners of all ages, but perhaps most importantly the visually inspired members of the Millennial generation. More- over, trends in the use of graphic aids and instruction throughout all walks of life and across many cultures, suggests an increasing, not diminishing, use of graphics in the future—all based on an abundance of scientific studies that support facilitated learning through com- binations of image and text. From a personal perspective, I attest to the power of graphics and specifically comic graphics to illustrate and reinforce meaning of the written and spoken word. Beginning in the early 1980s, and in a series of personal and professional books on topics from graduate research in the sciences to management of academic research groups to leadership develop- ment of professionals in private and public workspaces, comic illustrations have played key roles.

    FREE THE ROGUES PROPOSAL PDF Jennifer Haymore | 416 pages | 19 Nov 2013 | Little, Brown & Company | 9781455523375 | English | New York, United States Rogues (comics) - Wikipedia This loose criminal The Rogues Proposal refer to themselves as the Roguesdisdaining the use of The Rogues Proposal term "supervillain" or "supercriminal". The Rogues, compared to similar collections of supervillains in the DC Universeare an unusually social group, maintaining a code of The Rogues Proposal as The Rogues Proposal as high standards for acceptance. No Rogue may inherit another Rogue's identity a "legacy" villain, for example while the original still lives. Also, simply acquiring a former Rogue's costume, gear, or abilities is not sufficient to become a Rogue, even if the previous Rogue is already dead. The Rogues Proposal do not kill anyone unless it is absolutely necessary. Additionally, the Rogues refrain from drug usage. Although they tend to lack the wider name recognition of the villains who oppose Batman and Supermanthe enemies of the Flash form a distinctive rogues gallery through their unique blend of colorful costumes, diverse powers, and unusual abilities. They lack any one defining element or theme between them, and have no significant ambitions in their criminal enterprises beyond relatively petty robberies. The Rogues are referenced by Barry Allen to have previously been defeated by him and disbanded. A year prior, Captain Cold, Heat Wave, the Mirror Master Sam Scudder againand the Weather Wizard underwent a procedure at an unknown facility that would merge them with their weapons, giving them superpowers. The procedure went awry and exploded. Cold's sister Lisa, who was also at the facility, was caught in the explosion.

  • Gender Roles & Occupations
    1 Gender Roles & Occupations: A Look at Character Attributes and Job-Related Aspirations in Film and Television Stacy L. Smith, PhD Marc Choueiti Ashley Prescott & Katherine Pieper, PhD Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism University of Southern California An Executive Report Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media Our earlier research shows that gender roles are still stereotyped in entertainment popular with children.1 For example, female characters in feature films populate less than 30% of all speaking roles. A slightly better percentage emerges across our research on gender roles in children’s television programming. Not only are on screen females present less frequently than on screen males, they are often sexualized, domesticated, and sometimes lack gainful employment. To illustrate this last point, our recent analysis2 of every first run general audience film (n=21) theatrically released between September 2006 and September 2009 reveals that a higher percentage of males (57.8%) than females (31.6%) are depicted with an occupation. While females hold marginally more professional jobs than their male counterparts (24.6% vs. 20.9%), women are noticeably absent in some of the most prestigious occupational posts. Across more than 300 speaking characters, not one female is depicted in the medical sciences (e.g., doctor, veterinarian), executive business suites (e.g., CEO, CFO), legal world (e.g., attorney, judge), or political arena. More optimistically, 6 of the 65 working females (9%) are shown with a job in the hard sciences or as pilots/astronauts. These findings suggest that females have not shattered as many glass ceilings in the “reel” world as one might suspect.
