University Micrdrilms International 300 N INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)” . If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For illustrations that cannot be satisfactorily reproduced by xerographic means, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and inserted into your xerographic copy. These prints are available upon request from the Dissertations Customer Services Department. 5. Some pages in any document may have indistinct print. In all cases the best available copy has been filmed. University Micrdrilms International 300 N.

Here, finally, is a place where you can develop and grow in confidence about your singing, and have lots of fun with other folks devoted to their own song journeys. Come gather with us to explore various traditional song genres under the guidance of experienced, top-notch instructors. When singers gather together, magical moments are bound to happen! For Traditional Song Week’s ninth year and our celebration of The Swannanoa Gathering’s 25th Anniversary, we are proud to present a gathering of highly influential singers and musicians who have remained devoted over the years to preserving and promoting traditional song. Tuesday evening will be our big Hoedown for a Traditional Country, Honk-Tonk, Western Swing Song and Dance Night. Imagine singing to a house band of Josh Goforth, Robin and Linda Williams and Ranger Doug or Tim May, Tim O’Brien, and Mark Weems! So, bring your boots and hats, your voices and instruments, and get ready to bring on the fun! Our Community Gathering Time each day just after lunch affords us the opportunity to experience together, as one group, diverse topics concerning our shared love of traditional song.

  • Courtney Blair Minton. for Rhyme and Reason: Multiculturalism and the Study of Library Poetry Collections in Ethnically Diverse Elementary Schools
    Courtney Blair Minton. For Rhyme and Reason: Multiculturalism and the Study of Library Poetry Collections in Ethnically Diverse Elementary Schools. A Master's paper for the M.S. in L.S. degree. April, 2012. 99 pages. Advisor: Sandra Hughes-Hassell. The steady rise of multicultural children’s poets in the twenty-first century has provided children more opportunities to see themselves and others reflected in authentic words and images. Unfortunately, poetry collections in school libraries are often neglected in regards to collection development, circulation, and promotion. This study examined the poetry collections in the school libraries of 26 ethnically diverse elementary schools in the southeastern United States to determine how well they reflected a diverse community of learners and supported the notion of multiculturalism. Although each school library contained an average of 19.71% of multicultural poetry books, these resources were collected in fewer numbers compared to other poetry books, and many cultures were underrepresented within collections. Based on these results, it is recommended that elementary school librarians serve as change agents by enriching poetry collections to include additional multicultural resources and, ultimately, by promoting collections for use in the classroom and beyond. Headings: Children’s literature -- Authorship Children’s poetry Elementary school libraries -- Collections Multicultural education Multiculturalism Poetry (Literary form) FOR RHYME AND REASON: MULTICULTURALISM AND THE STUDY OF LIBRARY POETRY COLLECTIONS IN ETHNICALLY DIVERSE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS by Courtney Blair Minton A Master's paper submitted to the faculty of the School of Information and Library Science of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Library Science.

  • As the Crooked Road Welcomes You to Southwest Virginia and the Third
    s The Crooked Road welcomes you to Southwest Virginia and the third annual Mountains of Music AHomecoming, we are celebrating that most basic means of musical expression – singing. Folk song collectors, sometimes referred to as “songcatchers,” have wandered the mountains of Southwest Virginia for over a century in search of traditional singers. The region’s wealth of songs and singers has been well documented in the work of folklorists like Olive Dame Campbell and Englishman Cecil Sharp, who published English Folk Songs from the Southern Appalachians in 1917. The Library of Congress and the Smithsonian Institution have been here too, extracting from the area’s song tradition like miners digging the coal. Fast forwarding 100 years, the region is still a treasure trove of singers preserving the songs that represent a connection to the cultures that settled the region as America came into its own as a new country. To celebrate these traditions, ballad singers from Ireland, Scotland, England, and America will perform in three concerts and one workshop during the Homecoming, providing a remarkably international perspective on this ancient art form. A focus on great singing continues with artists like Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, who have set the standard for great bluegrass and bluegrass gospel harmony singing for decades. Influential new voices like Amythyst Kiah and Dori Freeman, who are raking in accolades from music critics nationwide, are also presented this year. Each year the Homecoming features a specific musical tradition besides our own, and this year we feature the music of Scotland with Alasdair Fraser, one of the finest fiddlers Scotland has ever produced, along with cellist Natalie Haas.
