    Choose Your Path

    Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 1993 Volume II: Folktales Choose Your Path Curriculum Unit 93.02.06 by Mary-Alice Howley I teach remedial reading at Betsy Ross Arts Magnet Middle School which is a fully integrated city school with a strong drama department, and a dedicated English department. This year with the new superintendent, middle school reform is a priority issue. However, because Betsy Ross is an established magnet school it cannot share in the federal funds, which have been made available to start new magnet schools and to instigate middle school reform. So without the benefit of outside resources the faculty at Betsy Ross is being asked to devise new scheduling matrixes and to create new curriculums to more fully coordinate the arts classes with the academic classes. I plan to use the resources of the Yale New Haven Teachers Institute to create a folk tale curriculum that could be extended to involve the reading laboratory with the fifth and sixth grade English and drama departments. Such a curriculum would meet a zeal need. Towards this end the primary goals of this unit are to foster critical thinking skills, to sharpen writing skills, and to refine public speaking skills. These goals will be met by reading fairy tales, comparing fairy tales, writing fairy tales, and telling fairy tales. I chose to base this unit on three familiar fairy tales: “Little Red Riding Hood”, “Cinderella”, and “Jack and the Beanstalk”. The African story “Three Rival Brothers” plus two African-American stories “A Wolf and Little Daughter” and “Wiley, His Momma, and the Hairy Man” expand upon the basic theme of the heroes using their wits and seizing whatever opportunity to achieve happiness, to grow up or simply to stay alive.

    Mother and Daughter Haven't Talked for 12 Years Since Cindy Eloped

    Happily Ever After: A Fictional Case Study of Cinderella and Her Prince Nina Moliver Cinderella wasn’t living happily ever after. But she began to learn how to make that happen. The story of Cinderella is perhaps the world’s most beloved fairytale, endlessly speaking to children everywhere. In this article I explore Cinderella as a Jungian archetype: A wonderful, innocent girl, victimized by a miserable family, makes her escape thanks to the grace of magic. A life story behind this archetype is followed through to a possible real-life conclusion. Cinderella Seeks Psychotherapy Cinderella Respucci was married for almost 12 years to a wonderful man. So far she was unable to have children. She had heard that yoga can be helpful for infertility, and so she started attending my classes. Toward the end of the third class, after some backbends, she collapsed onto the floor and started sobbing. She lay there and sobbed until the class ended; afterwards, she approached me and requested a private consultation. Because the consultation involved both private asana work and a preliminary evaluation, I scheduled two hours for Cinderella. I prepared a room with soft candlelight and gentle flute 1 music in the background. We began with a series of hip openers to help bring oxygen to the pelvic organs and a good blood flow up and down the spine. I then led her into a few backbends to open her chest, liberate her breathing, and squeeze old, held tensions from her digestive and reproductive organs. Once again, the backbends released a well of sadness and pain.

JAMES MADISON UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH JOURNAL Animating Gender Roles: How Disney is Redefining the Modern Princess Juliana Garabedian A prominent voice in the entertainment industry, Disney impacts many facets of society, including how we define gender roles. For the past 80 years, America’s younger generations have taken social cues from their favorite animated movies, learning to act like their favorite princes and princesses. Over the past few decades, Disney has broken through the concept of the damsel in distress and transitioned to represent and even advance modern feminist ideals. From likable protagonists to prominent images and popular products, the movies reinforce the gender roles they present because children learn to imitate the characters during playtime. 22 JAMES MADISON UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH JOURNAL he idea of being a princess is not a novel fantasy; it In Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Snow White is portrayed has been around for centuries.

    Poetry Cinderella

    “CINDERELLA” by Raold Dahl I guess you think you know this story. You don’t. The real one’s much more gory, The phoney one, the one you know, Was cooked up years and years ago, And made to sound all soft and sappy Just to keep the children happy. Mind you, they got the first bit right, The bit where, in the dead of night, The Ugly Sisters, jewels and all, Departed for the Palace Ball, While darling little Cinderella Was locked up in the slimy cellar, Where rats who wanted things to eat Began to nibble at her feet. She bellowed, “Help!” and “Let me out!” The Magic Fairy heard her shout. Appearing in a blaze of light, She said, “My dear, are you all right?” “All right?” cried Cindy. “Can’t you see I feel as rotten as can be!” She beat her fist against the wall, And shouted, “Get me to the Ball!” There is a Disco at the Palace! The rest have gone and I am jalous!” I want a dress! I want a coach! And earrings and a diamond brooch! And silver slippers, two of those! And lovely nylon pantyhose! Thereafter it will be a cincy To hook the handsome Royal Prince!” The Fairy said, “Hang on a tick.” She gave her Wand a mighty flick And quickly, in no time at all, Cindy was at the Palace Ball! It made the Ugly Sisters wince To see her dancing with the Prince. She held him very tight and pressed Herself against his manly chest.

    125 ALL-FEMALE OPERA SCENES Compiled by Cindy Sadler Anyone who works with young singers knows that it’s a constant challenge to find repertoire that is both appropriate and fun when your available cast consists mainly of women, and most of those sopranos. Here is a compilation, by no means exhaustive, of 125 excerpts for female voices. Some of these require a bit of creativity in cuts or in re-voicing chorus. Many of these scenes can be extended if you have just one male singer (mostly baritones!), or cut into smaller scenes. If you have more suggestions, please feel free to contact me and I will add them to the list, which will remain available to all free of charge on my website. Cindy ADAMO Little Women 1.
