Twice during the year, Dr. Ed Frierson, Director of Special Education at George Peabody College, served as consultant for initiating planning for a gifted child program. The work of Dr.Frierson was facilitated by assistance from two highly capable doctoral students. In order for teachers to be involved in these planning seLsions with Dr. Frierson and administrative staff members of the school system, the Decatur City Board of Education allowed eight teachers to be released from their teaching duties. As a result of Dr.Frierson's consultations,an in-service program was planned. Two series of meet- ings were to be scheduled. The primary aim of the in-service would be to acquaint teachers and other staff members with all aspects of working with the gifted. The in-service program was most successful. Attendance was good. Teachers were most receptive -2- to the idea of working with the gifted. Many teachers began utilizing immediately many of the concepts and methods learned during the meetings. Teachers,also, began to use the new materials purchased for the gifted. As a result of the in-service program, the Decatur City Schools began meeting the needs of many gifted children this year. (See in-service section of this report for further information on the in-service program.) A pilot project for children gifted in the language arts area was initiated in September 1969 at Austin High School. A class of ninth grade students and a class of tenth grade students were used in the project. A team of three teachers worked with the gifted project. Materials for the project were provided by funds from the Junior Service League, Title I, E.P.D.A., and Decatur City Board of Education. The project was highly successful. Both teachers and students, were most pleased with the project. (For further information about the Austin High School Gifted Project, see Austin High School Project section of this report.) As a result of the successful Austin High School Project, the teachers in the project are being allowed to work with one ninth grade class of these gifted students during the students' tenth, eleventh and twelfth grade years. (i.e. the teachers will teach the stud tents -.3- tenth, eleventh and twelfth grade English.) The administrative staff of the Decatur City Schools has decided to launch their main effort to work with the gifted in the middle schools. It was felt that the middle schools were the ideal place to concentrate due to the flexibility and uniqueness of the middle school organization. From the middle school, expansion into the elementary and secondary schools would be a natural growth for the gifted pro- gram. By using ability grouping, acceleration, enrich- ment activities, and self-initiated learning, the Decatur City SchoOls will meet the needs of more-and more gifted children. Using these four ways of work- ing with the gifted will enable the school system to reach more children than could be reached by any single way of working with the gifted. As time progresses, the Gifted Child Program of the Decatur City Schools will exhibit a more formal structure. Due to the number of programs which exist or have existed for the gifted, the Decatur City Schools are in the advantageous position of benefiting from the experience of other programs. The Decatur City Board of Education has arranged for Dr. Ed Frierson to conduct a system wide in-service meeting on May 5. This meeting will deal with the education of the gifted. On the morning of May 5, the 4- Decatur City Board of Education is again releasing a group of teachers from their teaching duties so that they can meet with Dr. Frierson to gain further guid- ance in planning for the gifted. On May 12 and 13, three staff members of the Decatur City Schools will visit programs for the gifted in Winston-Salem and Charlotte, North Carolina. Plans are also being made to have the directors of these two Carolina programs to serve as consultants for the gifted project of the Decatur City Schools. Cecil E.

The potent ialities of these children constitut e our country's greatest source of future leadership, yet they are the neglected children in our schools today. Much has been done, even within our own school unit to further the cause of the retarded , through good testing programs and the establishment of an Educable Mentally Handicapped Room. We know to what degree these children are retard ed but in most cases we can only estimat e the degree of acceleration of the gifted.

  • Creating a Superheroine: a Rhetorical Analysis of the X-Men Comic Books
    CREATING A SUPERHEROINE: A RHETORICAL ANALYSIS OF THE X-MEN COMIC BOOKS by Tonya R. Powers A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS Major Subject: Communication West Texas A&M University Canyon, Texas August, 2016 Approved: __________________________________________________________ [Chair, Thesis Committee] [Date] __________________________________________________________ [Member, Thesis Committee] [Date] __________________________________________________________ [Member, Thesis Committee] [Date] ____________________________________________________ [Head, Major Department] [Date] ____________________________________________________ [Dean, Fine Arts and Humanities] [Date] ____________________________________________________ [Dean, Graduate School] [Date] ii ABSTRACT This thesis is a rhetorical analysis of a two-year X-Men comic book publication that features an entirely female cast. This research was conducted using Kenneth Burke’s theory of terministic screens to evaluate how the authors and artists created the comic books. Sonja Foss’s description of cluster criticism is used to determine key terms in the series and how they were contributed to the creation of characters. I also used visual rhetoric to understand how comic book structure and conventions impacted the visual creation of superheroines. The results indicate that while these superheroines are multi- dimensional characters, they are still created within a male standard of what constitutes a hero. The female characters in the series point to an awareness of diversity in the comic book universe. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to thank my thesis committee chair, Dr. Hanson, for being supportive of me within the last year. Your guidance and pushes in the right direction has made the completion of this thesis possible. You make me understand the kind of educator I wish to be. You would always reply to my late-night emails as soon as you could in the morning.

  • Or “More Human Than You?” the X- Men Respond to Televangelism
    “Mutant Hellspawn” or “More Human than You?” The X- Men Respond to Televangelism JACOB RENNAKER The late owuns and early owvns witnessed the rapid increase in popularity and power of televangelists—pastors emphasizing “that old- time religion” embraced modern media, resulting in droves of Americans tuning in religiously to view their sermons. This was the golden age of Oral Roberts, Jimmy Swag- gart, Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker, Jerry Fallwell, and Pat Robertson. It was in this milieu that Chris Claremont and Brent Anderson produced the graphic novel God Loves, Man Kills (owvp). In a rare story where the superhero team known as the X- Men does not fight a costumed villain, God Loves, Man Kills focuses on the threat posed by Reverend William Stryker, whose vitriolic anti- mutant message mobilized Americans against mutants. In a revelatory moment, Reverend Stryker turns out to be the father of a mutant, introducing an element of both hypocrisy and irony. Such a storyline highlighted the poten- tial dangers of televangelists wielding substantial religious and political power by warning of its abuse. This story turned somewhat prophetic when in the late owvns a number of prominent televangelists were exposed for committing the very acts against which they had been preaching. God Loves, Man Kills was an active participant in the discussion of televangelism in the United States by identifying intersections between the graphic novel and public opinion during the owvns and the story forecasted the downfall of major figures in tel- evangelism later that decade. In spite of its sometimes skeptical view of tele- vangelism, God Loves, Man Kills responded to this complex situation with a heroic sense of hope that ultimately empowered its readers to make positive, lasting changes in the world.
