Examining the Relationship Between Children's
A Spoonful of Silly: Examining the Relationship Between Children’s Nonsense Verse and Critical Literacy by Bonnie Tulloch B.A., (Hons), Simon Fraser University, 2013 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Children’s Literature) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) December 2015 © Bonnie Tulloch, 2015 Abstract This thesis interrogates the common assumption that nonsense literature makes “no sense.” Building off research in the fields of English and Education that suggests the intellectual value of literary nonsense, this study explores the nonsense verse of several North American children’s poets to determine if and how their play with language disrupts the colonizing agenda of children’s literature. Adopting the critical lenses of Translation Theory and Postcolonial Theory in its discussion of Dr. Seuss’s On Beyond Zebra! (1955) and I Can Read with My Eyes Shut! (1978), along with selected poems from Shel Silverstein’s Where the Sidewalk Ends (1974), A Light in the Attic (1981), Runny Babbit (2005), Dennis Lee’s Alligator Pie (1974), Nicholas Knock and Other People (1974), and JonArno Lawson’s Black Stars in a White Night Sky (2006) and Down in the Bottom of the Bottom of the Box (2012), this thesis examines how the foreignizing effect of nonsense verse exposes the hidden adult presence within children’s literature, reminding children that childhood is essentially an adult concept—a subjective interpretation (i.e., translation) of their lived experiences. Analyzing the way these poets’ nonsense verse deviates from cultural norms and exposes the hidden adult presence within children’s literature, this research considers the way their poetry assumes a knowledgeable implied reader, one who is capable of critically engaging with the text.

Led by pacesetters such as Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Bobby Bare, artists in Nashville and Austin demanded the creative freedom to make their own country music, different from the pop-oriented sound that prevailed at the time. This exhibition also examines the cultures of Nashville and fiercely independent Austin, and the complicated, surprising relationships between the two. Artwork by Sam Yeates, Rising from the Ashes, Willie Takes Flight for Austin (2017) 3-6 Introduction 3 This interdisciplinary lesson guide allows classrooms to explore the exhibition Outlaws and Armadillos: Country’s Roaring ‘70s on view at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum® from May 25, 2018 – February 14, 2021.

In doing so, students will gain an understanding of the culture of this movement; who and what influenced it; and how these changes diversified country music’s audience during this time.

How to Write a "Catchy" Song Title by Vince Corozine (ASCAP)
How To Write a "Catchy" Song Title by Vince Corozine (ASCAP) The song title, "You Can't Take That Away From Me" immediately raises the question, "What can't you take away from me?" It drives the reader to want to investigate further and find out what the lyric says. It peaks our interest and arouses one's curiosity. A "catchy" song title will perk the interest of the listener and lead them to want to pursue more information about what the song is about. When selecting a song title one must ask, "What is the song about?" Is it about winning love, losing love, rival love, unrequited love? The topic of the song must be crystal clear in the mind of the songwriter and this central idea must be conveyed to the listener 1. What makes a good title? The title of a song should summarize the essence of the song and should be used in a prominent place in the song, like the first line of "Night and Day," or at the end of each verse as in "New York State of Mind," or at the very end of the song as in "You'll Never Walk Alone." Some of the strongest and best titles contain language that paints a verbal picture or suggests an image in the mind of the listener "A Boy Named Sue," or one that pertains to a color "Blue Suede Shoes." or one that mentions a place "Chicago," or represents a name "Michelle," or suggests a date "April Showers." 2. Can I use a title that already exists? It is fascinating to know that song titles, book titles, movie titles and so on are not copyrightable and therefore can be used freely by anybody without cost or paying royalties.

Grade 2-3 List COMPLETE
The Pingry School Library Grades Lower School 2-3 Summer Reading List 2011 POSTCARDS TO THE LIBRARY June 2011 Dear Parents, The Pingry School Library has a tradition of providing summer reading book lists for our students. We strongly encourage them to read a selection of books from their list during the summer. Reading for pleasure during this time will continue the development of reading skills so that no ground is lost over the summer and will help to instill a love of reading that will last a lifetime. Attached is the suggested summer reading list for your child’s grade level. Reading levels vary within a grade, so there are both challenging selections and easy-to-read titles on the list. Students may choose to read any title from the list and may read as many books as their schedules allow. Students are not expected to read all the books on the list . The list is divided into fiction, nonfiction, poetry, folktales, and biographies. The titles are annotated to help in the selection process. You may wish to read other books by the same author that are not on the list. Hopefully, every child will find something to spark their interest. Please encourage the use of the reading log in the back of the booklet to record the titles of all the books read during the summer. We ask that every student send picture postcards to the library letting us know the titles of the books they are reading and how they are enjoying their vacation. See the next page for details on the Postcards to the Library Program.
