Revitalizing Tier 2 Intervention With Graphic Novels, Linda Smetana, Dana L. Grisham Jan 2012

Revitalizing Tier 2 Intervention With Graphic Novels, Linda Smetana, Dana L. Grisham

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The authors explore the practice of incorporating graphic novels in a Tier 2 Response To Intervention (RTI) program for five elementary-aged struggling readers in an urban school. Using a formative experiment framework, the study found that graphic novels provided a vehicle for the application of word recognition and fluency strategies learned in the RTI intervention program. In addition, graphic novels were used to develop students’ vocabulary and comprehension skills and resulted in increased progress for students’ fluency as measured by DIBELS. Since graphic novels are not grade level specific, they are appropriate for readers across grades. As a genre, graphic …

Examining The Use Of Institutionally Designed Documentation Templates As A Vehicle For Changing Values And Practices In Health Care, Doris J. Ravotas Oct 2011

Examining The Use Of Institutionally Designed Documentation Templates As A Vehicle For Changing Values And Practices In Health Care, Doris J. Ravotas

Transactions of the International Conference on Health Information Technology Advancement

Changing values and requirements are common occurrences in today’s health care settings. Institutionally designed documentation templates are often developed to demonstrate that these changes have been incorporated into clinical work. Little research has been completed to examine whether the use of these institutional templates leads to the intended change or whether the changes clash with other influences on clinical work. This paper illustrates how two qualitative methods: think aloud interviews and frame analysis can be combined to examine the use of the templates, the changing values themselves, and the influences on changes in clinical practice. An analysis of local change …


Viking Age Arms And Armor Originating In The Frankish Kingdom, Valerie Dawn Hampton Sep 2011

Viking Age Arms And Armor Originating In The Frankish Kingdom, Valerie Dawn Hampton

The Hilltop Review

The export of Carolingian arms and armor to Northern regions outside the Frankish Empire from the 9th and early 10th century is a subject which has seen a gradual increase of interest among archaeologists and historians alike. Recent research has shown that the Vikings of this period bore Frankish arms, particularly swords, received either through trade or by spolia that is plunder.1 In the examination of material remains, illustrations, and capitularies, the reason why Carolingian arms and armor were prized amongst the Viking nations can be ascertained and evidence found as to how the Vikings came to possess such valued …
