Parents will be playing the role of teacher and student as support is provided by the classroom teacher. The support includes planned activities with each book to help with comprehension. Reading strategies will be sent home for the parents to try with their children, and three times a year parents will attend a workshop (see Appendix A for strategy samples). A web page, and weekly newsletter will also be available to help educate and answer questions. There are weekly books and activities for thirty-six weeks of school. The activities are focused on gaining comprehension. The literature chosen has all been reviewed for appropriate grade level and quality in a variety of genres. The books are available through our Area Education Agency and the library due to financial reasons. I plan to work on getting grants for next year to purchase more books for the program. There is an incentive for students to read these books and others on their own. Students

These types Tretain their characteristics to this day, perhaps, largely, because groups of relatives friends and neighbors settled in one section and gave a dominant tinge in creed, church and custom. The sons and daughters of these families married, and creed and custom grew stronger from year to year. Thus the Scotch-Irish, a people of Scotch origin, though living in Ireland for many years before the American emigration, settled in many parts of Virginia, North and South Carolina, and what is now East Tennessee, in great numbers and impressed their Presbyterian faith upon their posterity.

  • Northwest Impressionism, 1910-1935
    Hidden in Plain Sight: Northwest Impressionism, 1910-1935 John E. Impert A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2012 Reading Committee: Susan Casteras, Chair René Bravmann Douglas Collins Program authorized to Offer Degree: Art History University of Washington Abstract Hidden in Plain Sight: Northwest Impressionism, 1910-1935 John E. Impert Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Susan Casteras Art History Northwest Impressionist artists are among the forgotten figures in American art history. Responsible for bringing Modernism to Washington and Oregon, they dominated the art communities in Seattle and Portland from about 1910 to 1928, remaining influential until the mid 1930’s. After describing the artists briefly, this dissertation summarizes and evaluates the slim historiography of Northwest Impressionism. Impressionism and Tonalism are contrasted in order to situate these artists within the broad currents of American art history. Six important artists who have not been studied in the past are each accorded a chapter that summarizes their educations, careers, and artistic developments. In Seattle, Paul Gustin, the early leader of the Seattle art community, was most closely associated with images of Mount Rainier. Edgar Forkner, a well established Indiana artist, moved to Seattle and painted numerous canvases of old boats at rest and still lifes of flowers. Dorothy Dolph Jensen, a latecomer, emphasized shoreline and harbor scenes in her work. In Portland, Charles McKim traded complete anonymity in Portland, Maine for the leadership of the Oregon art community, creating a variety of landscapes and seascapes. Clyde Keller produced an enormous output of landscapes over a long career that extended to California as well as Oregon.

Earl Cariker describes the Murvaul (Texas) and Gary (Texas) communities in which Tex Ritter grew up. The second article, "Audie Hestilow," presents an interview with Audie Hestilow that was conducted by Lynn Burlbow. Hestilow, a barber, met Bonnie and Clyde one night while they were escaping from the police. While Audie Hestilow was a barber with the army in California, he became friends with Norma Jean Baker who would later be known as Marilyn Monroe. After the army, Hestilow established a barber shop in Austin (Texas) where he continues to work.
