  • MIM3 Draft Press Release Final Docx
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Tahli Kouperstein, (240) 662-2221 [email protected] EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED IN AN ALL-NEW SEASON OF ANIMAL PLANET’S MONSTERS INSIDE ME -- On October 5, Season Three Shares the Gruesome and Deadly Stories Of Parasites Living Within Us -- (Silver Spring, Md.) – Just because a parasite is not a bear, tiger or some other large predator, that doesn’t mean it can’t be as deadly…if not more so. MONSTERS INSIDE ME returns on Friday, October 5, at 8 PM (ET/PT), retelling the real-life, harrowing dramas of people infected by deadly parasites as doctors and scientists try to unravel each case before it’s too late. MONSTERS INSIDE ME reveals what happens to unsuspecting victims when the smallest creatures turn out to be the biggest monsters. Parasites are organisms that live on or in another species, which then serve as hosts from which the parasite gains nutrients. Failing to recognize or incorrectly diagnosing a parasite can wreak havoc and sometimes cause death. This season, MONSTERS INSIDE ME features stories about people who are harboring tapeworms, flesh-eating diseases, the bubonic plague, rabies, rat-bite fever, a brain-eating amoeba and more. The series also chronicles accounts of victims who suffer from objects that mistakenly are left in them during surgery. • When Kiera, from Springfield, Ohio, experiences severe headaches, she is rushed to the emergency room. Initially, doctors perform a spinal tap and suspect meningitis. After an MRI is performed, doctors realize she might have a teratoma, a tumor that is composed of cells from other organs, which can grow hair, teeth and even eyes.

  • A Study of Learning Gains and Attitudes in Biology Using an Emerging Disease Model in Teaching Ecology
    A Study of Learning Gains and Attitudes in Biology Using an Emerging Disease Model in Teaching Ecology Susan Chabot CATALySES, Summer 2017 Science Teacher/Department Chair Lemon Bay High School Englewood, Florida [email protected] Abstract Lemon Bay High School (LBHS) is a mid-sized suburban public high school on the southwest coast of Florida in Charlotte County. Although we have a robust honors and advance placement (AP) science program, the number of general students taking additional science classes is small. We have recognized this trend and account dwindling general science enrollment to the shift in biology instruction that followed the state induction of the biology end-of-course exam (EOC). All students must pass biology and take (not pass) the biology EOC to receive a high school diploma. Instruction in preparation for changing biology standards and focus over the last 15 years has drastically altered the delivery of biology content. Although currently more emphasis is placed on project-based/thematic learning units, teachers of biology have been forced to rely on direct instruction methods in order to complete the necessary material for this state-mandated test. The shift has been away from depth of understanding and scientific thinking skills to quick-coverage of material in the hopes students will recall some vocabulary and concepts during the biology end-of-course exam. With stagnant test scores in general biology classes and waning appreciation for the sciences, the belief is that student attitudes and science content understanding will improve through the integration of thematic, project-based learning units that incorporate emerging pathogens, disease, and biology content standards.

In 1963, the Gellman family and their African-American maid, Caroline Thibodeaux, live in sleepy Lake Charles, Louisiana. Caroline is drifting through life as a single mother of four working in a service job to a white family. A fragile, yet beautiful friendship develops between the young Gellman son, Noah, and Caroline. Noah’s stepmother, Rose, unable to give Caroline a raise, tells Caroline that she may keep the money that Noah leaves in his pockets. Caroline balks and refuses to take money from a child but her own children desperately need food, clothing and shoes. Outside of the laundry room, some of the greatest social advancements that the country has seen are being set in motion, and change is knocking on the door. “Caroline or Change” offers opportunities for connection. Two Louisiana families, the Gellman family and the Thibodeaux family are the “Everyman,” average, ordinary people moving through the day-to-day moments of their lives.

  • Acting in the Academy
    Acting in the Academy There are over 150 BFA and MFA acting programs in the US today, nearly all of which claim to prepare students for theatre careers. Peter Zazzali contends that these curricula represent an ethos that is outdated and limited given today’s shrinking job market for stage actors. Acting in the Academy traces the history of actor training in universities to make the case for a move beyond standard courses in voice and speech, move- ment, or performance, to develop an entrepreneurial model that motivates and encourages students to create their own employment opportunities. This book answers questions such as: • How has the League of Professional Theatre Training Programs shaped actor training in the US? • How have training programs and the acting profession developed in relation to one another? • What impact have these developments had on American acting as an art form? Acting in the Academy calls for a reconceptualization of actor training in the US, and looks to newly empower students of performance with a fresh, original perspective on their professional development. Peter Zazzali is Assistant Professor of Theatre at the University of Kansas.
