A Program for Five-Year-Old Migrant Children. Texas Education Agency, Austin.; Texas Univ., Austin DOCUMENT RESUME ED 028 879 RC 003 382 A Program for Five-Year-Old Migrant Children. Texas Education Agency, Austin.; Texas Univ., Austin. Pub Date 68 Note- 216p. EDRS Price MF-S1.00 HC-S10.90 Descriptors-Art Activities, Bibliographies, *Cultural Enrichment, Enrichment Programs, *Kindergarten Children; *Language Development, *Learning Theories, Mexican Americans, *Migrant Child Education, Music Activities, Teacher Aides, Teacher Education The program designed during the Institute for Kindergarten Teachers and Aides of Migrant Children is presented. Emphasis is placed on the concept that in order to learn anything, young children must have direct sensory experience related to the idea to be learned. It is pointed out that basic to all activities is an understanding of child development and child behavior. Various ideas are given as to learning experiences in which the child can acquire meanings and use the language necessary to express these meanings. Among these experiences for 5-year-olds are a mathematics program, art and music activities, and study topics from the physical environment and cultural world (for example, cocoons, the vineyard, and good grooming). Several suggestions are given concerning sources of content for chilidren's programs through movies and field trips. Included are descriptions of 6 videos made of 22 Mexican American children in classroom situations, and a summary of characteristics of effective teacher aides. Numerous bibliographies are listed throughout the document.

Therefore, the designing of learning experiences related tosignificant concepts in social studies and scienceand direct participation by teachers and aides in art and music for children comprisedthe work of the Institute. Topics from social studies and science wereselected, demonstrated in ways they should be taught to children and written intoplans for teaching by each person. Because children organize, classify and express ideas in music and art, half of each day for three weeks wasdevoted to direct experiences in music and art.Six videos of thirty minutes each were made of a group of twenty-two five-year-old Mexican-Americanchildren as they were taught lessons in theselected areas. Each video was analyzed by participants in the Institute. Detailed plans for each day's work may be seen in the Weekly Plansfor the Institute which are included in thisbook. We have reasons to believe that each day of theInstitute was a challenging experience for teachers, aides, andstaff.

The Career of John Jacob Niles: a Study in the Intersection of Elite, Traditional, and Popular Musical Performance Ron Pen As a young and naive doctoral student, I approached my folklore professor with a dissertation proposal. Quivering with trepidation, I informed him that I intended to provide an initial biography and works of the composer and balladeer John Jacob Niles. The folklorist cast a bemused glance over his tortoise shell glasses and said: "He was a fraud. You realize, of course, that no folklorist would write his obituary." Years later, with the dissertation nestled securely on the library shelves, I recalled this conversation and attempted to reconcile my understanding of John Jacob Niles's career with the folklorist's accusation.

  • Badal Sircar
    Badal Sircar Scripting a Movement Shayoni Mitra The ultimate answer [...] is not for a city group to prepare plays for and about the working people. The working people—the factory workers, the peasants, the landless laborers—will have to make and perform their own plays. [...] This process of course, can become widespread only when the socio-economic movement for emancipation of the working class has also spread widely. When that happens the Third Theatre (in the context I have used it) will no longer have a separate function, but will merge with a transformed First Theatre. —Badal Sircar, 23 November 1981 (1982:58) It is impossible to discuss the history of modern Indian theatre and not en- counter the name of Badal Sircar. Yet one seldom hears his current work talked of in the present. How is it that one of the greatest names, associated with an exemplary body of dramatic work, gets so easily lost in a haze of present-day ignorance? While much of his previous work is reverentially can- onized, his present contributions are less well known and seldom acknowl- edged. It was this slippage I set out to examine. I expected to find an ailing man reminiscing of past glories. I was warned that I might find a cynical per- son, an incorrigible skeptic weary of the world. Instead, I encountered an in- domitable spirit walking along his life path looking resolutely ahead. A kind old man who drew me a map to his house and saved tea for me in a thermos. A theatre person extraordinaire recounting his latest workshop in Laos, devis- ing how to return as soon as possible.

Sucker slept in my bed with me but that didn’t interfere with anything. The room was mine and I used it as I wanted to. Once I remember sawing a trap door in the floor. Last year when I was a sophomore in high school I tacked on my wall some pictures of girls from magazines and one of them was just in her underwear. My mother never bothered me because she had the younger kids to look after. And Sucker thought anything I did was always swell. Whenever I would bring any of my friends back to my room all I had to do was just glance once at Sucker and he would get up from whatever he was busy with and maybe half smile at me, and leave without saying a word.
