  • Folktales: Oral Traditions As a Basis for Instruction in Our Schools
    Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 1993 Volume II: Folktales Folktales: Oral Traditions as a Basis for Instruction in our Schools Curriculum Unit 93.02.09 by Soraya R. Potter As a middle school teacher, I see students who come into reading lab hoping that it will be a lot like a library at a university. Everyone has to be quiet and all that they are required to do is read. This is not the case in my class. I view reading as a thinking, speaking, writing and reading workshop where students think and speak about the things they observe, write and read. It is from this angle that I have approached this unit. For me, the unit will primarily serve as an introduction to the new school year. I chose the topic, “Folktales: Oral Traditions as a Basis for Instruction on Our Schools” because I want the unit to serve as an invitation for reluctant readers and speakers to join the lesson freely while also setting the pace for the class during the school year. The unit is designed to help students feel comfortable reading, discussing and writing about selections which they have read. The oral tradition or art of storytelling is one that is almost lost in our society. Every culture which has melted into the great American melting pot has oral traditions which are uniquely their own. These oral traditions are what are known as folklore or folktales. Today, due in part each to commercialization. immigration, and economy, folktales and fairy tales are virtually indistinguishable.

  • The Cinderella Story to Your Class
    ● ● ● ● ● STUDY GUIDE TO PRODUCTION & ACTIVITIES Introduction Rooted in the belief that the arts are basic to many aspects of education, Pushcart Players is delighted to present “Happily Ever After,” based on the classic tale, “Cinderella.” Pushcart was drawn to this enduring story for many reasons: Its origins are informed by the universal longing to overcome adversity. Certainly it speaks to all of us who have a vision or a dream yet to be fulfilled. And, we never grow tired of its central themes of goodness, generosity and compassion. But perhaps of greatest importance in today’s world of growing up, it provides a pathway for discussion and significant learning opportunities about Bullying Behav - ior – a topic of increasing concern in schools throughout the country. Toward this end we are coupling our presentation of “Happily…” with the book, “Banishing Bullying Behavior” by SuEllen Fried and Blanche Sos - land, PhD, as a resource in the classroom; and have included a section of discussion and activities on Bullying Behavior prepared by Blanche Sosland in this Study Guide. This Study Guide is designed to assist teachers, parents and group leaders in preparing students for the presentation. It also offers suggestions for discussion, art and values tie-in activities following the program. It is our hope that the material suggested in this guide will be tailored to the age and interests of your students and presented in a nurturing and supportive classroom, recreation or home setting. www.pushcartplayers.org•261BloomfieldAvenue,Verona,NJ07044•973-857-1115 TheRootsAgency•www.therootsagency.com•717-227-0060 Happily Ever After - A Cinderella Tale BookandLyricsbyRuthFost MusicbyLarryHochmanandLaurieHochman Summary This production begins with a spoken Prologue set to music that provides an overview of the characters and events that come together to form the Cinderella tale.

  • Speak Now Or Forever Hold Your Peace: the Constitutionality of States Prohibiting and Not Recognizing Same-Sex Marriages by Jessica Hoff
    Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace: The Constitutionality of States Prohibiting and Not Recognizing Same-Sex Marriages by Jessica Hoff Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the King Scholar Program Michigan State University College of Law under the direction of Professor Philip Pucillo Spring, 2015 INTRODUCTION The United States Supreme Court has granted certiorari to resolve the issues of whether states can limit marriage to between one man and one woman, and whether states must recognize same-sex marriages validly created in other states. 1 The Court has already struck as unconstitutional the Defense of Marriage Acts’ federal definition of marriage as between one man and one woman in United States v. Windsor.2 Dissenting in that opinion, Justice Scalia fatefully pronounced that he was waiting for the other shoe to drop—that is, that he believes the Court’s language has already laid the groundwork for the downfall of the ability of states individually to define marriage as between one man and one woman.3 However, Windsor and other Supreme Court precedents do not necessarily compel the conclusion that states must permit the solemnization of same-sex marriages. Nor do those precedents necessarily compel the conclusion that states must recognize such marriages that have been validly created in other states. Part I of this Note focuses on the implications of the Court’s recognition of marriage as a fundamental right in Loving v. Virginia. 4 That Part argues that, although marriage is a fundamental right, same-sex marriage does not fall within that definition. Therefore, state laws limiting marriage to between one man and one woman should not be subject to strict scrutiny as a matter of substantive due process.

As always, she was wearing her armor. It was invisible, but everyone knew it was there, even the teachers. The sea of students parted as she walked down the school walkway. It made her feel important and lonely at the same time. The feeling was one she had grown used to over the years. Holly converted the feeling to fuel as she entered the building. Spring break was over, leaving less than half of her sophomore year ahead. For the most part, she had spent the break alone. Holly had no idea what anyone at school had done on vacation. She guessed there was plenty of hanging out with friends. It was something she didn't dwell on. There was no reason to. Up ahead, obviously in her own little world, was her first target. Blonde, bouncy curls spilled over a pink backpack.

  • A Lover's Recourse
    ATLENGTHMAG.COM 1 A LOVER’S RECOURSE (After Roland Barthes) Jee Leong Koh Take heart and sing of love’s recourse: the river is running from the river and still is the river. A kiss in my bedroom and a kiss at the door. The only French I speak: be swallowed by the river. The cloudy pigeon, mutant dove, aches through the air, nowhere safe to land, save the branches of the river. You could not touch the other bank and so you thought, a lake! It was never a lake. It was a river. In the dark, flesh locates flesh with unerring instinct, and fills in what it traced, the breathing map, the river. Dragging for weeks his body for more than a body, I hauled up a word—need, or was it, feet—from the river. Someone advised Jee once to write what makes him sad. She saw his whole life standing waistdeep in the river. **** Say, mouth, what happened to the Riesling in the glass? He kissed me twice. My tongue will not let go the glass. The wanting hard, the losing, or the death of want: to which catastrophe does your hand raise a glass? His beautiful neck was strong as a piece of rope by which he raised his head so slowly from his glass. My hours are filled to the brim with his absence. There is no more room for the elbow in the glass. His torso poured a sparkling white into his legs the way a bottle is intended for a glass. The heart is finally a form of repetition.

  • Does Paranormal Perception Occur in Near-Death Experiences?
    Does Paranormal Perception Occur in Near-Death Experiences? Keith Augustine, M.A. Internet Infidels, Colorado Springs, CO ABSTRACT: While most near-death researchers have disregarded reports of near-death experiences (NDEs) with hallucinatory features, many have sought cases of veridical paranormal perception during NDEs. But despite more than a quarter century of near-death studies, no compelling evidence that NDErs can obtain information from remote locations during their NDEs has been forthcoming. This paper, Part I of a critique of survivalist interpretations of NDEs, reviews the quality of the evidence for veridical observations during NDEs, and finds the case for veridical paranormal perception during NDEs wanting. KEY WORDS: out-of-body experiences; near-death experiences; altered states of consciousness; embellishment; anesthesia awareness. One of the major reasons that near-death experiences (NDEs) have captured the interest of Americans in recent decades has been the assumption that they provide glimpses of an afterlife (Basil, 1991; Serdahely, 1989). And by all indications, the majority of near-death researchers have taken up near-death studies precisely because they believe that NDEs provide evidence for life after death. Consequently, the hallucinatory nature of these experiences has been largely Keith Augustine, M.A., is Executive Director and Scholarly Paper Editor of Internet Infidels, a nonprofit educational organization dedicated to defending and promoting metaphysical naturalism on the Internet. He would like to thank Richard Carrier and Gerald Woerlee for many useful comments on this paper, particularly regarding the Pam Reynolds case.

Walking along an asphalt road, I was or the final leg of a two weeks’ walking tour of Wisconsin. Late in the afternoon I stopped, ate some pork, beans, and a doughnut, and was preparing to stretch out and read when the Illustrated Man walked over the hill and stood for a moment against the sky. I didn’t know he was Illustrated then. I only knew that he was tall, once well muscled, but now, for some reason, going to fat. I recall that his arms were long, and the hands thick, but that his face was like a child’s, set upon a massive body. He seemed only to sense my presence, for he didn’t look directly at me when he spoke his first words: “Do you know where I can find a job?” “I’m afraid not,” I said. “I haven’t had a job that’s lasted in forty years,” he said. Though it was a hot late afternoon, he wore his wool shirt buttoned tight about his neck. His sleeves were rolled and buttoned down over his thick wrists.
