...students within these schools are unfamiliar with the actions of the minority leaders their schools are named after. Kozol goes on to point out the lack of segregation within the urban communities that surround these schools, specifically mentioning the residential segregation in New York City, which matches levels from the 1960s. Introduction and Chapter 1 Summary The introduction talks about how Jonathan Kozol began teaching and he introduces the book. Kozol lets the reader know what to expect when reading the book. Chapter one is about how schools named after someone in history like Martin Luther King Jr. or Thurgood Marshall are not integrated, they are still segregated. Kozol also mentions how Dr. King said, "as long as the Negros basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one," (33), but right now minorities are moving from larger ghettos to smaller ones. They are trying to get out and move into the suburbs, but when they move out they end up in the same situation.Kozol, at the end of chapter one, talks about how the schools try to instill in the children that they can achieve anything they want to by chanting things like, "yes I can, I know I can." (35). Kozol believes that this does not work because society does not believe that they can. This section of reading uses a lot of examples to support what Kozol is saying. He...

...Petrosky, and Waite, panopticism in Foucault’s paper is the all Seeing Eye. He starts his essay of by talking about the plague in the seventeenth century. There was a closing of the town and its outer lying districts. Each street was placed under the authority of a syndic, who keeps it under surveillance. Each house was watched over by the syndic who would come to lock each door from the outside of the house. Everyone was quarantined into their homes. The severity of this lack of freedom was expressed in Foucault’s essay when he said inspection functions ceaselessly. The gaze is alert everywhere, and a considerable body of militia, commanded by good officers and men of substance, guards everyone, everywhere, to prompt the obedience of the people. Foucault discussed the rise of lepers, which also gave rise to disciplinary projects. Rather than separating people into groups, like they did during the plague, multiple distinctions were used to separate people. The plague-stricken town was, as Foucault states, traversed throughout the hierarchy, surveillance, writing, the town immobilized by the functions of extensive power. In order to have the perfect disciplinary functioning, one would put themselves in the place of the syndic during the plague. This control over people functioned to cut them off from all contact with each other. According to the reading, Foucault talked about the Panopticon, a building that was separated into cells. There were two windows corresponding to the...

...activities I have designed I would have to take into account the physical, intellectual, social and emotional side of each child. For this I will be visiting Woodend Preschool where I will be holding an activity to evaluate the children's skills and assessing how well we communicate between each other, by the way our body language comes across. Before making my final decision about the activity, I will have to take into consideration the skills each child has, the facilities, safety implications, equipment and time. Also I have to plan, improve and evaluate my activity; I have also made samples for each of my activities. The preschool and early school years are also full of changes, from three to five the child’s motor skills, language, thinking and social development change dramatically. A01- Suitable Activities and Reasons for Choice I have created a range of activities that would be suitable for Pre-schoolers aged between three to four, at this point in their life the child's development is important, it is a time where the child’s world will be dominated by fantasy and vivid imagination. Hopefully the children will be able move around confidently and also to use hand and finger skills, such as; using scissors, drawing circles and squares and beginning to understand some capital letters. The activity that I am most confident with is the Animal Craft, it allows the child to develop their social, emotional and intellectual skills, as well as being able to learn experientially...

...Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy (treatment of mental disorder). Which involves the encouragement of free self-expression through painting, drawing, and making art projects. In the words of Kendra Cherry (2014), “While people have been using the arts as a way to express, communicate, and heal for thousands of years, art therapy only began to formalize during the middle of the 20th-century.” A fact on art therapy is that it was first used by Adrian Hill, a British artist, in 1942. Art therapy is most useful for children because it helps them express how they feel and free their minds in a creative, and artistic way. Abused children or children that have gone through a traumatic event really benefit from art therapy because they don’t always...

The security guard explains the exhibits and I can take pics, but it couldn’t be with a flash. I was very impressed during my visit by so many paintings and sculptures that I would never have even thought I could find stimulating and actually enjoying the amazing collection of oil canvas paintings that had the ability to bring you different styles of art just a dim and well-lit room full of pictures and sculptures, where I could stand for a few minutes feeling where I’m in the different time and place. My first thought about The El Paso art museums is that they're...

...One of the most enchanting things children do is learning how to talk. In a few and short years, most if not all children transition from crying and gurgling to explaining in details what they want and don’t want. From a baby’s gibberish first words through to pre-schooler, elementary to middle school; detailed and defined conversations, early language development milestones are among the most momentous events in any caregivers or parent’s life. For most children learning how to talk may seem easy but for some it is a stage of struggle and difficulty. Children learn how to talk more easily and faster if the adults in their homes spend enough time talking to them. Other children find it more difficult to develop speech because they do not hear their parents talk much. All children have the ability to learn how to talk. Learning to talk is a natural habit, a natural gift inscribed deep within mankind’s genetic inheritance ( Bardies, De Bevoise 1999 ). In about the second year after conception or one year after being born, a child will utter his first words. The swiftness and skills with which many children master the art of speaking has always fascinated many adults. Before a child knows how to coordinate his hands to snap a toy, he will utmost have understood some if not all the sentences addressed to him by an adult. Before they even how to tie up or knot their shoelaces they will virtually have mastered the art of talking their language. This special ability of acquiring language...

...Fostering Language Development Linda Bender ECE315: Language Development in Young Children (BDG1616A) Instructor: Catherine Norwood April 25, 2016 Art Center Art centers is set up so that children can easily access the materials that are located on shelves that are at eye level, the activity will be a teacher directed activity. “Art making is often a social activity for young children where language is developed.” (Johnson, 2006) Children are given many different chances to communicate socially with their peers and teacher by talking about their projects using descriptive words. Therefore, providing many open ended questions and materials that the children can use their imagination to create different projects. We as teachers can plan activities that will further foster the development of language and creative activities in art based on their observations. Teachers will encourage oral language between children, asking many open-ended questions, and to impose the importance of safety with materials and taking turns. They will also have the experience of joy that comes from creating unique products (West, 2006).

...Through the years, children in general have changed such as, kids have lost their sense of confidence and self-esteem due to bullying. These children are crying out for help in a huge way. Perhaps as a result of families needing two incomes to survive has led to the depression and lack of guidance that is needed to nurture our children today. This is why Martial Arts instruction in school may increase confidence, self-esteem and decrease bullying in schools. Parents often have the false impression that martial arts will lead to their child learning violence, when in fact, the increase in confidence that martial arts brings is one of its perks. Kids will have the confidence along with the skills to be able to achieve higher levels in any art or physical activity. Kids can apply that same amount of confidence to other aspects of their life. For example, it allows the student to really focus on the issue at hand. Another benefit about martial arts is the confidence for socialization with peers, instructors and adults. Martial arts show the student to treat everyone with respect and to carry themselves with honor. During the course of my research, I found that, it’s rare to find a martial art that even mentions why, where and how violence happens. (Whether it's individual self-defense, a domestic violence situation, or war, a practitioner needs to understand what they're up against to effectively learn to defend against it. Prevention strategies can and should account for most self-defense...

...Workshop Portfolio | Arts in the Community | | Sarah Milner | “Theatre is a form of knowledge; it should and can also be a means of transforming society. Theatre can help us build our future, rather than just waiting for it.” (Boal, 1992, p. 31) For this module in Arts in the Community I wanted to work with children and after talking to Alice I discovered that she did too, we thought that it would be a good idea to find a placement together. We wanted our workshop to be influential and build on children's skills. Initially the idea was for our placement to be with disabled children as Alice and I wanted to create a workshop that centred on building their self-esteem, the project plan can be found in the Appendix (Figure 1). We looked for different places that would be suitable and thought of ideas for activities in our workshop. After discussing our plans we thought that it would be too difficult for us to be able to come up with a suitable workshop for disabled children as neither of us has had experience dealing with disabled people in the past. Straight away our idea changed to working with young children in either a school or drama club. We thought this would be easier for us to be able to design a suitable workshop, and becoming a teacher is a path that I’m thinking of following and this would give me a bigger insight. Finding a placement was very difficult; we came up with the idea of doing a Christmas themed workshop with the children so that didn’t give us...

...research question was: How does ADHD affect children? I was interested in learning what ADHD is and how it affects children. I was interested in this topic because I wanted to know why children with ADHD had so much difficulty focusing in school or interacting with other people without getting distracted. My research topic relates to Temple Grandin’s chapter “From the Margins to the Mainstream” in The Autistic Brain because the chapter was mostly talking about how to overcome the struggles that disabilities can cause and how to find your strengths and use them to your advantage. ADHD has many symptoms that can make children hyperactive, impulsive, impatient, and distracted which affects how they learn in a “normal” classroom setting and...

...Grief counseling and children: Ambiguous loss and its effects on children: Implications and interventions for school counselors. By K. Guidy, C. Simpson, T.Test, and C. Bloomfield. Texas A &M University Commerce. * In addition to emotions, children experience physical responses to a loss such as exhaustion, insomnia, headache, stomachaches, and regressive behaviors. * Just like adults children process grief in different and unique ways, there is no right or wrong way to grieve. * Grief work is essential in order for the individual to become actively engaged in their own life again. * Children need adequate information, reassurance, routine, validation, active listening, and adult models to demonstrate mourning behaviors constructively and appropriately. * When a child losses someone in their family they are grieving the loss of the systemic role in the family, the loss of a relationship, loss of an emotional connection and the fear of possibly losing someone else in their family. * May have self-blame, confusion, fear, isolation, or alone * Faced to deal with the changes in their new family systems, adjusting to the remaining parents new way of life may be difficult * SC should build meaningful relationships with the student as well as validate, understand, listen, and normalize their loss when the child is comfortable enough to share with them * You need to meet children and families where they are, support them with patience, compassion...

...Levitt grew up in Brooklyn, where she later dropped out of high school, and taught herself photography while working for a commercial photographer. While teaching classes in art to children in 1937, Levitt became fascinated with the chalk drawings that the New York City children had been drawing in the street. She purchased a Leica camera and began to photograph the city. Helen Levitt’s photographs were not meant to tell a story. She took pictures in poor neighborhoods because the people in the street were fully sociable and visually interesting. Levitt's photos did not consist of bizarre events. Most of them show the games and excitement of children, the everyday conversations of the working class, and the observant waiting of elders. What is extraordinary about the photographs is that these events that were being captured, were usual doings of life, that were happening everywhere around the world, just maybe with minor differences. Levitt found early success. In July 1939, the new photography section of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City included Levitt's work in its initial exhibition. In Helen Levitt’s most well known picture, three suitably dressed children get ready to go trick-or-treating on Halloween in 1939. These children are standing on a stoop outside their house and are excited about the holiday. The little girl on the top step is putting on her mask, the boy near her has his mask in place and is taking a graceful step down, while another boy, who is...

...times has evolved into the prosperous culture we have today. Japan today is rich and diverse and unique from any other Asian country and culture today. In Ancient Japan before the the establishment of city states, Japan was no different from any other early civilization were they had many hunter gathering villages and tribes. The men in this culture typically Hunted and the women stayed at home and harvested and domestic work. The thing that make Japan so unique is that other early civilization did not put such a heavy influence on pottery and art like the early Japaneses did. This period in Japaneses history is known as the Jōmon period. Art in this era is consisted of pottery and vases decorated in many beautiful gems such as Jade. Even there weapons had an artistic appeal to it. This early Art influence has molded Japan into the innovative country it is today. The Heian period is noted as the peak of Japan ancient culture were its art and literature are still a very influence part of today's culture. During this time the Chinese involvement in Japan had reduced to a minimal and many Chinese invention were expanded upon and made better and more useful. This advancement of already useful goods is tradition that still has strong impact in japans culture today.

This would all come to an end in Feudal Era of Japan were real integration of other cultures came to Japan due to trade, religion...
