AVAILABLE FROMInternational Reading Association, 6 lyre Avenue, Newark, Del. 19711 ($4.00 non-member, $3.00 member) EDRS PRICE MF-$0.65 HC-$13.16 DESCRIPTORS *Beginning Reading; College Students; Context Clues; Elementary School Students; Instructional Materials; Linguistics; *Phonics; Reading Comprehension; *Reading Instruction; *Reading Research; Secondary School Students; Structural Analysis; Visual Discrimination; *Word Recognition ABSTRACT A series of articles with the chief emphasis on phonics as a means of analyzing words is presented. Various articles pertain to elementary, secondary, and college level instruction. The first of the five parts into which the volume is divided is comprised of a single article which gives an excellent overview of the field of word recognition. Part 2 includes a dozen recent articles that present the overall general program of word analysis and the policies that underlie it. In Part 3 are found articles which evaluate certain phonic elements and the utility of generalizations concerning them. For instance, two articles discuss rules that deal with accents on syllables and their effect on the pronunciation of words. Part 4 is concerned with such aspects of word recognition as sight vocabulary, sensory cues, visual discrimination, contextual clues, and phonics. The articles differ from those in Part 3 in that they more narrowly deal with particular aspects of word recognition and are more concerned with methodology. Certain articles were found to be only partially pertinent to a volume dealing with word recognition andare included in a general section in Part 5.

  • Knitting in Australia: Artefact & Exegesis
    1 Knitting in Australia: artefact & exegesis Sue Green Approved for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Swinburne University of Technology August, 2018 2 3 Abstract This project, undertaken by artefact and exegesis, draws together a book about knitting in Australia intended for a general readership, with a scholarly framework. The exegesis arises from issues identified in producing the artefact, an interview-based, non-fiction publication, Disruptive knitting: how knitters are changing the world. Its nine themed chapters are created through autoethnographic, Practice-Led Research based on reporting and interpreting 87 interviewers with knitters and related interviewees. This includes their knittings’ relevance to key social issues such gender, women’s role and social inequality. It enriches the discussion of how, for many, knitting has become a tool for rebellion, art making and activism on feminist and political issues. It examines and demonstrate knitting’s ability not only to reflect the wider Australian society, but to influence that society through both individual and collective acts of knitting in the context of the gendered nature of the craft. Central to this artefact production and its exegetical framework are two complementary questions: How has the traditional craft of knitting, stereotypically a woman’s hobby for the purpose of producing utilitarian items including garments, evolved to become a tool for numerous other purposes including political protest, reinforcement of and rebellion against traditional gender roles, and the creation of fine art? What does the practice of knitting reveal about Australian society and how has it influenced events in that society since World War II? This project brings together insights into creative work that has largely been isolated as women’s craft, created by labour regarded as having no calculable value.

This year’s issue follows the precedents we established in 2007: 1) We publish the magazine electronically, which allows us to share the best writing at Heidelberg with a wide readership. 2) The magazine and the writing contest are managed by members of English 492, Senior Seminar in Writing, as an experiential learning component of that course. 3) The publication combines the winning entries of the Morpheus writing contest with the major writing projects from English 492. Please note that Morpheus staff members were eligible to submit entries for the writing contest; a faculty panel judged the entries, which had identifying information removed before judging took place. Staff members played no role in the judging of the contest entries. We hope you enjoy this year’s Morpheus! Cheers!

  • (5.1.20) - Knights
    (5.1.20) - https://www.pastemagazine.com/music/hot-country-knights/dierks-bentley-new-song-hot-country- knights/ OK, well, they’re not exactly who they say they are, but they’re certainly a project worthy of your attention. Hot Country Knights are on a mission to bring “real ‘90s country music back to a format that’s been drowning in male sensitivity, cashmere cardigan sweaters and programmed drum loops.” Helmed by their mullet- wearing frontman Douglas (“Doug”) Douglason, they landed a deal with Universal Music Group Nashville, and they’ve been taking the world by storm ever since. Today (May 1) marks the arrival of their debut album, The K Silent. You can listen to a song from the record, “Hot Country Knights,” below. Paste had the pleasure of speaking with Douglason this week about the album, as well as the mastermind behind the Knights (and—if we’re being totally transparent—Doug himself), country superstar Dierks Bentley. A “producer” on the project, you might say he and Doug are very closely related. Like, super close. “He’s letting me use his phone right now,” Douglason said of Bentley during the call (just in case it wasn’t clear—this is Dierks Bentley posing as the rowdy, offensive Doug). “He really did most of the writing.” Forget Billy Ray Cyrus: Douglas also claims the Knights were the mullet originators. “We were really the first band to do the mullet,” Douglason said. “The Knights own the mullet.” He also said the self-titled single “Hot Country Knights” “captures the overall feeling of the live show,” which, due to the coronavirus pandemic (or, as Douglason refers to it, “rona”), has of course been put on hold.
