Regal Cinemas – Trussville –Summer Movie Express School is out but learning continues. This packet is filled with family friendly activities to enjoy throughout the summer and beyond. Compiled by Theris Johnson Summertime is Fun-time While summer is potentially full of fun outdoor activities, young people can spend hours inside and inactive, with video games, television, or friends. Encouraging physical activities and good nutrition during the summer can help our children enjoy their summer while staying on track in their physical, social, emotional, cognitive, and verbal development. Students whose families are actively engaged in learning during summer months tend to be more successful. By planning constructive learning activities during the summer break, parents can provide their children with valuable opportunities to retain what they’ve learned and practice the skills they need to be successful in school and in life. Allow summer learning to be fun! Remember, the best learning often occurs when children don’t even realize they’re learning. 1. Participate in e-learning activities. What is eLearning? eLearning utilizes electronic technologies to access educational curriculum outside of a traditional classroom. Electronic technologies may include, but are not limited to: computers, the Internet, tablets, smartphones, digital cameras, and DVD players. The "e" is most often interpreted to mean “electronic" but can also be interpreted as extended, educational, enriching, and engaging. Visit some educational websites. 2. Participate in summer enrichment activities. Allow students to participate in programs designed to curb learning loss. Make sure reading, writing, math, and technology skills are enhanced in a fun, non-traditional way. 3. Start some type of collection - Bugs are everywhere and once properly dried can be collected. Marbles of every color and shape, coins or whatever interest them make great collections. 4. Record and catalog information - What type of birds, animals, or wild flowers they have spotted? What better way to learn than from hands-on experience. Later, take the time to search the Internet to learn more about plants, rocks, and animals that you discover. This can be a one-time adventure, or an adventure that lasts all summer long. 5. Visit the Zoo - But don’t just walk through it and you’re done. Sit and draw the animals, figure out what they’re doing. Research where the animals came from and what they eat. Have each child pick an animal to research and go back and visit the animal that they’re interested in several times. Try to come up with ways to raise money for that animal.

For example, if your child is writing a movie review, make plans to see the movie. If your child is writing about a community event, make sure he/she can answer the following questions to develop the article – Who is the story about? What happened? Where did the event take place? When did it happen? Why? How? At the end of summer, gather and organize all of the articles and create a great keepsake. 17.

  • The Miseducation of Hip-Hop Dance: Authenticity, and the Commodification of Cultural Identities
    The Miseducation of Hip-Hop dance: Authenticity, and the commodification of cultural identities. E. Moncell Durden., Assistant Professor of Practice University of Southern California Glorya Kaufman School of Dance Introduction Hip-hop dance has become one of the most popular forms of dance expression in the world. The explosion of hip-hop movement and culture in the 1980s provided unprecedented opportunities to inner-city youth to gain a different access to the “American” dream; some companies saw the value in using this new art form to market their products for commercial and consumer growth. This explosion also aided in an early downfall of hip-hop’s first dance form, breaking. The form would rise again a decade later with a vengeance, bringing older breakers out of retirement and pushing new generations to develop the technical acuity to extraordinary levels of artistic corporeal genius. We will begin with hip-hop’s arduous beginnings. Born and raised on the sidewalks and playgrounds of New York’s asphalt jungle, this youthful energy that became known as hip-hop emerged from aspects of cultural expressions that survived political abandonment, economic struggles, environmental turmoil and gang activity. These living conditions can be attributed to high unemployment, exceptionally organized drug distribution, corrupt police departments, a failed fire department response system, and Robert Moses’ building of the Cross-Bronx Expressway, which caused middle and upper-class residents to migrate North. The South Bronx lost 600,000 jobs and displaced more than 5,000 families. Between 1973 and 1977, and more than 30,000 fires were set in the South Bronx, which gave rise to the phrase “The Bronx is Burning.” This marginalized the black and Latino communities and left the youth feeling unrepresented, and hip-hop gave restless inner-city kids a voice.

  • A Comparative Study of Gender Roles in Animated Films
    Global Journal of HUMAN SOCIAL SCIENCE Volume 12 Issue 5 Version 1.0 March 2012 Type: Double Blind Peer Reviewed International Research Journal Publisher: Global Journals Inc. (USA) Online ISSN: 2249-460x & Print ISSN: 0975-587X A Comparative Study of Gender Roles in Animated Films By Edwin Michael , Afi Roshezry Abu Bakar , Ira Meilita Ibrahim , Geetha Veerappan , Norazleen Mohamad Noor , Lim Ean Heng , Taufik A. Latif , Ng Kar Yann University of Tunku Abdul Rahman, Malaysia. Abstract - Gender stereotyping always has and still exists in our society. However, this issue is getting conspicuously serious as gender stereotyping has now reached the young masses, who are much more accustomed to the easy, seemingly effortless influence of the mass media. In this study, the researchers have collectively delved into gender roles in animated movies, specifically. The objective of this research is to comprehend how gender perspectives and gender favouritism influence a particular film’s image of the world and the way narratives are being organized to emphasize the impact of male characters in movies, conducted through the research method of content analysis. The results point to the glaringly obvious scarcity of female characters as compared to male characters. As such, it is safe to assume that the presence of gender equality borders from slim to absolutely none. Should this problem persist, there is a plausible, almost certain chance that youngsters these days will undoubtedly have a skewed viewpoint on gender roles and hence, will only push the effect of gender stereotyping deeper while simultaneously leaving a dent on the hard, dim fight for gender equality.
