  • Singing Together Enhances Our Own School Community and Creates a Positive Environment
    let’s sing! Songbank resources These songs can all be used in class, in assembly or by children at home. They can be used as videos or listening resources to complement and enhance PHSE topics, to generate discussion and reflection, and as starting points for extended work and activities. They all also directly support and underpin work on core values. One Voice - Brian May and Kerry Ellis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nd8ySMk5TUs Themes and ideas: • Focus on the clear, simple, powerful lyrics of the song • The importance and strength of our individual voice. One voice can make a difference. • Think of examples of people who stood up and spoke out to make a difference; for example, Malala, Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, Mother Theresa. • The power and strength we find in working together. • The power of singing itself to bring people together. How singing builds relationships and communities. Reflect on how singing together enhances our own school community and creates a positive environment. How does singing together make us feel? • Focus on the clear, simple, powerful lyrics of the song • The song was written by Ruth Moody of The Wailin’ Jennys and has been recorded by a number of artists. Listen to and compare some of these other versions. Reach out your Hand - Hollie Williams and Bottle Top Music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFdYs9TvOIU Themes and ideas: • Reaching out to others • Being considerate, helpful, kind and compassionate • How we can shine the light to brighten someone’s day by being kind, helpful and friendly. • Consider ways around school to ensure everyone feels welcome and included.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School REMEMBERING JIMMY CARTER THE RHETORICAL EVOCATIONS OF PRESIDENTIAL MEMORIES A Thesis in Communication Arts and Sciences by Brandon M. Johnson 2020 Brandon M. Johnson Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts August 2020 The thesis of Brandon M. Johnson was reviewed and approved by the following: Mary E. Stuckey Professor, Communication Arts and Sciences Thesis Advisor Stephen H. Browne Liberal Arts Professor of Communication Arts and Sciences Michael J. Steudeman Assistant Professor of Rhetoric and Director of CAS100A Denise H. Solomon Head and Liberal Arts Professor of Communication Arts and Sciences iii ABSTRACT This thesis is an analysis of the public memory of Jimmy Carter and the way the historical resources of his presidency (including his perceived moral character) are interpreted and evoked as a shorthand for presidential failure by associating him with a rhetoric of weakness. Broadly, I consider the nature of presidential memory, asking how a presidency passes from history to memory. I suggest that presidential histories serve as inventional resources in the present, with rhetors evoking interpretations of the past as rhetorical appeals. These appeals are acts of memory, and analyzing how they function discursively and are deployed strategically draws out how presidential memory works and what implications it has to presidential rhetoric. The different strategies used in remembering the presidency of Jimmy Carter are useful texts for rhetorically critiquing this process because Carter is often deployed as a rhetorical shorthand, providing a representative example of interpreting presidential pasts. I begin by considering the evolving scholarship and historiography on Carter and conceptualizing how presidential pasts can be interpreted in the present through acts of remembering.

    Alabama 11 Jan 2002 Pipe Leak. An unreported amount of diesel and gasoline leaked from a Shell Oil Co. pipeline into ditch along U.S. highway 90 near Mobile, Alabama.1 Alaska 9 Feb 2001 Pipeline Violations. U.S. Office of Pipeline Safety issued a final order and findings of violation for Shell Alaska Resources’ A and C pipeline facilities in Nikiski, Alaska. The violations included: failing to have 57 specific required items in its procedural manuals for operations, maintenance and emergencies; failing to maintain complete records for the useful life of the pipe or repairs made to the pipeline along the shore of Cook Inlet during the summer of 1997; failing to maintain records for 2 years or until the next inspection is performed, whichever is longer, for three types of inspection; failing to maintain current pipeline facility maps which contain required information; failing to correct, within a reasonable time, conditions at a location where two pipelines cross in a manner which could adversely affect the safe operation of the pipeline system; failing to maintain a protective coating suitable for the prevention of atmospheric corrosion on a section of exposed pipeline; and failing to maintain a valve in good operating condition at all times.2 17 Apr 2001 Oil Field Leak. A hole in a pipeline used for transporting by‐products at the Kuparuk oil field on Alaska's North Slope leaked 92,400 gallons of "produced water," a mixture of salty water and oil. While oil amounted to 3 percent of the volume from the discharge, the mixture is still harmful to the tundra, and according to DEC, has about the same toxicity as diesel fuel.
