The Struggle For Black Studies At Howard University, Johnnie L. Ware
The Struggle For Black Studies At Howard University, Johnnie L. Ware
Honors Theses
Booker T. Washington provided for the masses and their economic plight in his thinking, but neglected the cultural-political theory, and the creation of a black intelligentsia. W.E.B. DuBois, on the other hand, directed attention to the intelligentsia, and cultural-political theoretics, but, in his early and most famous approach, failed to provide sufficiently for the masses. Possibly as a consequence of historical circumstances - the location of most blacks of that day in the South and the irreconcilable mores of segregation - neither developed theoretics for invating white colleges.
this was left to the more recent years, when the early advocates …
Phonetics, Traditional Grammar, And Transformational Grammar, Lois Kirkpatrick
Phonetics, Traditional Grammar, And Transformational Grammar, Lois Kirkpatrick
Honors Theses
As a Music Major, I chose to study for my honors project, three facets of grammar that would be helpful in teaching public school music. These areas are phonetics, which will aid in the correct pronunciation of words used in singing and speaking, traditional grammar, which is essential for both oral and written communications, and a study in the new tranformational grammar, to keep abreast with changing grammatical skills. Though somewhat related, these skills are best discussed separately.
The Regular Polyhedra: A Study In Visual Aids For Teaching Geometry, Sammye Halbert
The Regular Polyhedra: A Study In Visual Aids For Teaching Geometry, Sammye Halbert
Honors Theses
Traditionally, mathematics, past simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, has been taught of as being so boring, irrelevant, and in short, one of the unavoidable evils of school. An advertisement in The Mathematics Teacher expressed the general attitude of many students when it said, "mathematics was invented by an old magician in the desert who, with the help of his talking monkey, bakes equations and cupcakes in the hot sun." It seems that many students think mathematics is just one problem after another that has some mystical answer floating around in the air somewhere. The object is to get that …

Creativity In Pre-School Art, Sharon Kluck
Creativity In Pre-School Art, Sharon Kluck
Honors Theses
"Children are wonderfully fresh and vivacious. What adult can compete with a child's energies? A child's mind runs like a mouse in a maze. He observes, perceives, imitates, and responds as a unique individual." His work is original, using foreign symbols for an image he pulls from his memory. All of the myriad elements, internal and external, influence a child's creation. These works for the young child are expressions of his life's experiences. As he matures in his thinking, he becomes more aware of himself, his family, and the people and things in his environment. He is curious and explore …
Improving Reading Skills, Patricia L. Greene
Improving Reading Skills, Patricia L. Greene
Honors Theses
This study was undertaken as an aid for improving basic reading skills through the use of the Reading Lab instructed by Mrs. L. Durkee. This was thus a developmental project in reading.
Specifically stated the purposes of this study were: (1) to increase reading rate; (2) to increase the use of words through vocabulary building; and (3) to improve reading comprehension.
The approach here is one of practicality rather than theoretical. The course of study was therefore geared from the particular deficiencies of the student to improve reading skills. This afforded flexibility on the parts of the instructor and the …

A Rhetorical Analysis Of Edward Albee's Tiny Alice, Carolyn B. Curry
OBU Graduate Theses
A difference of opinion exists today among the many branches of knowledge as to what constitutes the proper study of mankind. Since it is not always expedient nor desirable to subject living persons to laboratory experiments, "models" have been devised to study man. For many years lower forms of life have been studied and the resulting data applied by means of analogy to the behavior of man. More recently, man has been compared to the various "input-output" systems of machines. However, to be applicable to human behavior such models or analogies must account for the fact that human beings create …

Selecting Literature For The Preschool Child, Sharon Kluck
Honors Theses
Although the world of books can be one of fascination and intrigue to any age group, this can be particularly true for the preschooler. During these very impressionable years, books can be used in broadening experiences as well as in combining knowledge and enjoyment to form a book philosophy that will carry over for life. since building this appreciation of books is so important, the proper tools are necessary in correct sequence. Good literature must be carefully selected to fulfill the need.
