The unit plan begins by covering and studying basic elements of the quest narrative model, and culminates with the students writing a personal narrative piece in the model of a quest narrative. In the middle of the unit, we have left the day-to-day lesson planning very open- ended. Since this unit does not contain a central text, it is up to the discretion of the instructor to choose a text (or texts) that can be used with this unit plan. The text(s) that you choose will depend on a couple of factors: how long you want to spend on this unit, and what texts you want your students to read.

He is the most effective educator who aims less at perfecting specific acquirements that at producing that mental condition which renders acquirements easy, and leads to their useful application; who does not seek to make his pupils moral by enjoining particular courses of action, but by bringing into activity the feelings and sympathies that must issue in noble action.

Newkome _______________________________ ______________________________ Committee Member Date Dr. Harold Foster _______________________________ Committee Member Dr. Lynne Pachnowski ii ABSTRACT Orientation Leaders (OLs) are current college students charged with helping to facilitate the college transition process for new students. This role has the potential to affect OLs, particularly as it relates to how they self-author. The purpose of this study was to explore the ways that serving as an OL affects self-authorship development and in particular, what aspects of the experience serve as a catalyst for self-authorship. This qualitative study investigated the experiences of four selected OLs working at the same institution during the same period of time. Data was collected from three sources, including individual interviews, field observations, and training course journals. The data were analyzed using a constant comparative process resulting in seven themes being identified. These themes included: understanding and respect for diversity, leadership and decision making, interdependence of the OLs, personal development and growth, training becomes real, community among the OLs, and purposeful experiences.

    Modes and Monikers Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree in Fine Arts the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Zachary Podgorny Graduate Program in Art The Ohio State University 2011 Committee: Suzanne Silver- “Advisor” Laura Lisbon Ann Hamilton Michael Mercil Copyright by Zachary Podgorny Year of Graduation 2011 Abstract My work reflects the various modes of making in which I engage: painting and drawing, alongside playing of the violin, cooking, impromptu rhyming in English and Russian, the manipulation of recorded sounds, the movement of my body, and collaborating with other artists, musicians and dancers. I investigate the material narrative that takes place in my painting and drawing. This includes the marinating and cooking of different oils, pigments, and balsams as they are applied to different kinds of surfaces. Recently I have painted on linen, plastic shower curtains, window curtains, blankets, fencing, different types of paper, and most recently dry wall. I believe that an engagement with these surfaces inform the way I approach my painting. I believe that the kind of play, thinking, and processing that takes place in my painting is reflected in my other approaches to making. I have assumed different personae. These personas have been named. These monikers are attributed to each mode of making. ii Dedication This is dedicated to my Yelena Podgorny; my mother, Genya Vaks; my grandmother, and Anna Podgorny; my sister. They are the most important people in my life. I also dedicate this work to the memory of my grandfather Mendel Vaks. iii Acknowledgments Dear Suzanne Thank you so much for making me feel welcome.

Michael’s blindness didn’t stop him from shocking the neighbors by riding his bicycle through the streets of Palmdale, California as a child, and on September 11 his blindness became an asset as he successfully led a group of people to safety during the worst terrorist attack ever on American soil. 1. CONTENT A. The ten year anniversary of 9/11 is coming up! What’s new here? ~ Ten years later, the Michael Hingson story helps to bring some closure and make sense of the events of September 11. The time is right for an extraordinary story of an unlikely hero. ~ The events of 9-11 still haunt the American imagination, especially in light of the continued threat of terrorism and the recent attempted car bombing in Times Square. Michael Hingson’s story is an antidote; it’s positive, redemptive, compelling, and has a happy ending. In addition, the ~ Each chapter includes life lessons learned from Michael’s unique and heroic 9-11 experience, with additional material woven in related to growing up blind, working with a guide dog, his marriage to a woman in a wheelchair, and successfully functioning with a major disability.

  • The Monument of the Eponymous Heroes in the Athenian Agora'

    The Monument of the Eponymous Heroes in the Athenian Agora'

    THE MONUMENT OF THE EPONYMOUS HEROES IN THE ATHENIAN AGORA' (PLATES 41-58) T175HE heroes who gave their names to the Athenian tribes provided the essential framework within which the Athenian democracy customarily functioned. In their persons, they linked historical present with immemorial past, the realities of government with the legends of remote antiquity. In their cults, they perpetuatedthat ancient marriage of ancestral religion and practical politics which formed so char- acteristic a feature of the Greek polis. The Athenian citizen enjoyed the privileges and responsibilities of his citizenship almost wholly under the protecting aegis of his tribal hero. It was by tribe that he voted in the annual elections, by tribe that he would be allotted to public office. As a representative of his tribe, he would serve in the Council and by rotation of the tribal delegations the Council formed its executive committee. On behalf of his tribe, the citizen competed in the sacred games or performed in the choral dances in the theater. As a youth he was mustered by tribe for military service. It was in the ranks of his tribal regiment that the Athenian drilled and marched to war, by tribe that he fought in battle, and by tribe that he listed the names of his comrades who fell fighting and did not return. The tribal structure of the Athenian state found its monumental embodiment in the precinct of the Eponymous Heroes in the Agora. Just as the neighboring Altar of the Twelve Gods was the central milestone from which the roads ran out to all parts of Athens, so the complex channels of civic authority ran out to every citizen from the monument of the Eponymoi.
