    In Defense of Rap Music: Not Just Beats, Rhymes, Sex, and Violence

    In Defense of Rap Music: Not Just Beats, Rhymes, Sex, and Violence THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Master of Arts Degree in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Crystal Joesell Radford, BA Graduate Program in Education The Ohio State University 2011 Thesis Committee: Professor Beverly Gordon, Advisor Professor Adrienne Dixson Copyrighted by Crystal Joesell Radford 2011 Abstract This study critically analyzes rap through an interdisciplinary framework. The study explains rap‟s socio-cultural history and it examines the multi-generational, classed, racialized, and gendered identities in rap. Rap music grew out of hip-hop culture, which has – in part – earned it a garnering of criticism of being too “violent,” “sexist,” and “noisy.” This criticism became especially pronounced with the emergence of the rap subgenre dubbed “gangsta rap” in the 1990s, which is particularly known for its sexist and violent content. Rap music, which captures the spirit of hip-hop culture, evolved in American inner cities in the early 1970s in the South Bronx at the wake of the Civil Rights, Black Nationalist, and Women‟s Liberation movements during a new technological revolution. During the 1970s and 80s, a series of sociopolitical conscious raps were launched, as young people of color found a cathartic means of expression by which to describe the conditions of the inner-city – a space largely constructed by those in power. Rap thrived under poverty, police repression, social policy, class, and gender relations (Baker, 1993; Boyd, 1997; Keyes, 2000, 2002; Perkins, 1996; Potter, 1995; Rose, 1994, 2008; Watkins, 1998).

    Keane, for Allowing Us to Come and Visit with You Today

    BIL KEANE June 28, 1999 Joan Horne and myself, Ann Townsend, interviewers for the Town of Paradise Valley Historical Committee are privileged to interview Bil Keane. Mr. Keane has been a long time resident of the Town of Paradise Valley, but is best known and loved for his cartoon, The Family Circus. Thank you, Mr. Keane, for allowing us to come and visit with you today. May we have your permission to quote you in part or all of our conversation today? Bil Keane: Absolutely, anything you want to quote from it, if it's worthwhile quoting of course, I'm happy to do it. Ann Townsend: Thank you very much. Tell us a little bit about yourself and what brought you to hot Arizona? Bil Keane: Well, it was a TWA plane. I worked on the Philadelphia Bulletin for 15 years after I got out of the army in 1945. It was just before then end of 1958 that I had been bothered each year with allergies. I would sneeze in the summertime and mainly in the spring. Then it got in to be in the fall, then spring, summer and fall. The doctor would always prescribe at that time something that would alleviate it. At the Bulletin I was doing a regular comic and I was editor of their Fun Book. I had a nine to five job there and we lived in Roslyn which was outside Philadelphia and it was one hour and a half commute on the train and subway. I was selling a feature to the newspapers called Channel Chuckles, which was the little cartoon about television which I enjoyed doing.

    All That We've Learned All That We've Learned

    All That We’ve Learned Five Years Working on Personalized Learning Authors: Caitrin Wright, Brian Greenberg and Rob Schwartz www.siliconschools.com AugustSilicon 2017 Schools Fund 1 Five years ago… …we started the Silicon Schools Fund to support the launch of new schools figuring out better ways to educate students. We hoped that educators could reimagine schools to ensure that students got more ownership of their education and more of exactly what they needed when they needed it—so called “personalized learning.” Five years ago was also when one of us, Caitrin, had her first child, who is now entering kindergarten. In that span of time he’s learned to walk, to talk, dress himself, and play a mean game of Uno. Seeing his growth and learning got us thinking about all that we’ve learned over the past five years about personalized learning. 2 What We've Learned: Five Years Working on Personalized Learning Silicon Schools Fund 3 Silicon School Personalized Learning Journey WE'VE ALWAYS HAD FOUR STRONG BELIEFS: Students’ ownership of their learning is critical to long-term success. When it comes to learning, students should get more of what they need exactly when they need it. Ensuring equity requires getting each student what he or she needs to succeed. It is possible to redesign schools to work much better for students and teachers. 4 What We've Learned: Five Years Working on Personalized Learning What We've Learned • Promise of personalized learning is real • Personalized learning should not mean isolated learning • Students benefit from

DESCRIPTORS *Childrens Television; Content Analysis; Preschool Education; *Programming (Broadcast); Television Research IDENTIFIERS Sesame Street ABSTRACT Following a content analysis, 85 children's programs were assigned a pacing index derived from the following criteria:(1) frequency of camera cuts;(2) frequency of related scene changes;(3) frequency of unrelated scene changes;(4) frequency of auditory changes;(5) percentage of active motion;(6) percentage of active talking; and (7) percentage of active music. Results indicated significant differences in networks' pacing overall and in the individual criteria: the commercial networks present the bulk of the very rapidly paced programming (much of it in the form of cartoons), and those networks devoted primarily to educational programming--PBS and The Learning Channel--present very slow-paced programs.

Oakes: "All that lay deepest in her heart": Reflections on Jewett, Gende 1/All that lay deepest in her heart": Reflections on Jewett, Gender, and Genre by KAREN OAKES In the beginning (or in 1941), God (later known as F. O. Mat­ thiessen) created the American Renaissance.] Emerson and Thoreau, Melville and Hawthorne and Whitman he created them. And he saw that it was good. GIVE this rather whimsical introduction to my thoughts on Sarah Orne Jewett I by way of suggesting how circuitous my route to her has been. Nineteenth­ century American literature has, until very recently, focused primarily if not exclusively on the n1agnetic figures gathered around mid-century. My own education, at an excellent women's college, and later, at a radical university, foregrounded Emerson and company to the obliteration of "lesser" deities. I experienced the pleasure of Jewett-appropriately, it turns out-through the mediation ofa friend, who said simply, as ifofpeachpie, "Ithink you'lllikeher." And I did. The setting of her work conjured the New England of my childhood, her characters and their voices, the members ofmy extended family.

    Writing Between the Lines: Aaliyah's Dialogic Strategies for Overcoming Academic Writing Disengagement

    Volume 10 Number 1 Spring 2014 Editor Stephanie Anne Shelton http://jolle.coe.uga.edu Writing Between the Lines: Aaliyah’s Dialogic Strategies for Overcoming Academic Writing Disengagement Peel, Anne, [email protected] The College of New Jersey, New Jersey, USA Abstract This case study report uses the conceptual framework of Bakhtinian notions of dialogism to explore how a highly motivated 10th grade English student, Aaliyah, developed strategies for combating her disengagement in academic writing. Aaliyah‟s anxiety and boredom stemmed from multiple factors relating to the distance between her home and school literacy: a desire for dialogic exchange with a partner within her Discourse community, writing topics and modalities that conflicted with her notion of what constitutes purposeful writing, and lack of knowledge of disciplinary writing conventions. Findings revealed that Aaliyah‟s strategy of infusing her compositional practices with opportunities for dialogical exchange with, about, and beyond the text, helped her successfully navigate feelings of boredom and anxiety.
