    Quilters Fall Ithaca ❧ New York 2020 Corner 518 W State (Martin Luther King Jr.) St www.e-quilterscorner.com 607•266•0850 [email protected] We’re 25! What were you doing 25 years ago? Katie Barnaby, Sherry Haefele, Cyndi Slothower, Merrie Wilent, and Linda VanNederynen remember. We five decided that we couldn’t live in a town with no quilt shop, and we were going to do something about it. We began meeting. Our first group decision about our new shop was that we would have a toy box; we had 15 small children among us. We also decided we would be open on Sundays as that was the day we were able to take some personal time to shop. The attorney who helped us craft our partnership agreement later told us he didn’t expect a business run by five women to last more than a year. We rented a 700 square foot space at Community Corners in Ithaca and began to fill it with fabric that made us swoon. Classes were difficult to offer in that tiny space, so we added a dedicated space to teach. We remember it as hot and difficult to carry machines up a steep flight of stairs to the classroom. Next we moved to a larger space in the same small shopping center. We added Pfaff sewing machines to our offerings. Sherry retired after 8 years. Some while later, we expanded into the shop next door, then another behind, until we had 2,000 square feet. It still wasn’t enough.

Scott Candidate for the Degree: Doctor of Philosophy _______________________ _______________________ Co-Director Co-Director Dennis Carlson David Berg _______________________ Reader Tammy Schwartz _______________________ Reader Raymond Terrell _______________________ Reader-Graduate School Representative Brian Keane _________________________ Dissertation Mentor Don Kaufman ABSTRACT NATURALLY OUTSPOKEN: EXAMINING THE IMPACT OF INSIDE AND OUTSIDE SPACES ON RURAL APPALACHIAN CHILDREN‘S SCIENCE DISCOURSE By Terry A. Scott This ethnographic dissertation focuses on the impact of inside and outside learning spaces on the discourse of rural, Appalachian fifth grade children during a five month period. Outside discourse was especially examined during a month-long stream-monitoring unit. The project also focused on how the children‘s Appalachian culture influenced their discourse. The theoretical framework of this study was social constructivism. Data for this sociocultural project was gathered through field notes, audiotapes, and informal student interviews with selected students. Secondary data included photographs of the children and the places where the conversations occurred during the data collection in addition to family photographs of the children or family members in or near streams. Data was collected from January through the beginning of June, 2007. A constructivist grounded theory approach to data analysis was
