Finding The Performance: Script Analysis And The Read Aloud Experience, Katherine Thonen

Faculty Publications

There is ample research and information on why reading aloud to children is an important part of literature development, however, there is little research on how adults should go about the reading. This paper examines script analysis techniques used by performers that can be used by children’s librarians and other non-professional readers as literary analysis designed to inform how to infuse a read-aloud session with an engaging performance. There is little research in this area, so this paper is an initial look into the issue and offers suggestions based on the experience of a former children's librarian with a theatre …

From Canonical Law To Offshore Finance: Confessing To Priests And Bankers In Luxembourg, Samuel Weeks

College of Humanities and Sciences Faculty Papers

In this article, I address two recurring tendencies that I heard during a recent period of research on banking secrecy in Luxembourg. First, my banker interviewees frequently mentioned personal transgressions for why many of their clients hide assets “offshore.” The wrongdoings my interlocutors cited included not only clients’ tax evasion, bankruptcy, and avoidance of liability – but also divorce, adultery, and the existence of out-of-wedlock children. Second, with a similar frequency, my interviewees drew parallels between the secrecy laws covering bankers and those afforded to other professionals in the country. Article 458 of Luxembourg’s Penal Code, dating from the nineteenth …

Nurturing Academic Writing: Empowering Students Through Socratic Seminars, Rebekah Crawley

The Utah English Journal

Throughout my eight years as a high school English teacher, I have struggled to know how to expand my students’ abilities to write academically. That struggle has only been exacerbated in recent years with the increasing use of smartphones, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the introduction of Artificial Intelligence programs. With constant resistance from defeated students, it’s easy to get discouraged. However, this resistance is not new and one technique that has consistently helped me encourage even the most reluctant students to overcome writing challenges is the Socratic Seminar or Fishbowl Discussion.

Book Review: Ay, Mija! My Bilingual Summer In Mexico, Robin White

Book Review: Gallant, Jessica Ashurst

The Utah English Journal

Orphaned and unwanted, Olivia Prior lives at Merilance Academy. Mute, misunderstood, and mistreated by the others, Olivia craves a home, but all she has left of her family is her mother’s journal. Often, Olivia turns back to the journal’s words and paintings as she tries to understand the world around her. Home is a choice, her mother wrote. You will be safe as long as you stay away from Gallant.

Place-Based Multimodal Narratives With Storymap Js, Laurel Phillips, Johnny Allred

The Utah English Journal

At the beginning of a recent cross-country road trip, Johnny pulled open a map app on his phone and entered his final destination—Fort Worth, Texas—into the search bar, along with three other stops: the Maverik in Moab (he had to load up on Dr. Pepper); a hotel in Santa Rosa, New Mexico; and “Cadillac Ranch” in Amarillo (Google it). For the next 1,200 miles, the digital map guided him and his family along the path, setting the stage for experiences and stories that the family will tell and retell for years to come.

That example—the use of maps to guide …

Integrating Sentence Combining With Existing Curriculum, Jessica Low

The Utah English Journal

Over the last few years I have been astonished by the noticeable decline in my students’ reading and writing abilities when compared to those in previous years. Every teacher at my school has also noticed the problem, but many of us, burned out from COVID, didn’t have the bandwidth to try something big and new. That changed for me when Kayleigh, a likable, hardworking seventh grader, said “Mrs. Low, I’m glad I have a short book because I can read all the words, but I don’t understand what I’m reading. This gives me more time to try to reread and …

Dreams, Empathy, And Stories: From The Editors, Mandy Luszeck, Jon Ostenson

The Utah English Journal

Teachers often fall victim to having their stories told for them. The local and national news broadcast stories of the negative moments in teacher’s classrooms, or highlight the few who are not really committed to their students. The loud voices of political dissent focus on the few who oppose our teaching practices as we strive to educate our students within the global and cosmopolitan contexts in which they live. Yet, teachers famously “close the door” and continue to teach. But stories matter.

The Fetterman Massacre: A Swiss American Officer Leads His Men To Disaster, Albert Winkler

Swiss American Historical Society Review

Following the American Civil War, the United States fought a major war against the Sioux, Cheyenne, and Arapaho Indians known as Red Cloud’s War, which lasted from 1866 to 1868. It was a costly American defeat and an important Indian victory. A prominent leader of the Native Americans was the great war chief, Red Cloud, who engineered much of their success. The conflict included many raids, skirmishes, and three important and bloody engagements including the Hayfield and the Wagon Box Battles in 1867, and the highly significant Fetterman Massacre in 1866 in which the Swiss American Captain, William J. Fetterman, …

A Biographical Note On William Tell, Heinrich Pantaleon, Richard Hacken

Swiss American Historical Society Review

William Tell was born and raised in Uri, Switzerland. Due to his remarkable intellectual and physical capabilities, he quickly gained great respect among the local people. At the same time, Emperor Henry VII of Luxembourg5 ruled the Holy Roman Empire with great success (1308-1313). He reaffirmed the privileges previously granted to the inner “Orte”6 of Uri, Schwyz, and Unterwalden, and even enhanced them with various additional immunities, bestowed upon them in Constance due to their commendable conduct. This occurred in the year 1309.7 Furthermore, he granted them the concession of not having to obey any prince except the emperor and …
