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.

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.

    Heroic Youth Leaders Are Treated to an Early Thanksgiving In

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MEDIA ALERT Heroic Youth Leaders are Treated to an Early Thanksgiving in Recognition of Their Environmental Stewardship Young Heroes at the Helm of Cleaning and Greening Los Angeles County are Celebrated Los Angeles, CA-----November 2019-----Los Angeles young adult “Corpsmembers” from the LA Conservation Corps (LA Corps) are being celebrated with an early Thanksgiving meal in appreciation for their daily commitment and leadership in caring for the environment and revitalizing neighborhoods across Los Angeles County with beautification and conservation projects. As Corpsmembers, they participate in hands-on job skills training and work experiences at the Corps with an emphasis on conservation; they earn a paycheck while they learn. They develop a solid work ethic, patience, effective communication skills, teamwork, self-confidence, leadership, and green workforce skills as a result of the program, becoming environmental stewards. Many Corpsmembers are at-risk young adults who join the Corps for a second chance. In addition to recycling, cleaning alleys, removing graffiti, planting trees, building trails and clearing fire fuel, these young leaders participate in and/or lead service projects, connecting people to nature and revitalizing urban green spaces across L.A. County. For example, at the top of the Culver City Stairs at the Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook, Corpsmembers have been working for more than a year in collaboration with California State Parks and the Audubon Society to enhance the safety of trails for hikers, build uniform step heights, conduct trail maintenance, and protect native plants. They hosted a day of service there for community volunteers to plant trees recently on National Public Lands Day.

  • 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.
