The Power Of Tweeting, Brenda J. Anderson
The Power Of Tweeting, Brenda J. Anderson
The Utah English Journal
Libraries and English classrooms will evolve to include social media such as Twitter, Facebook, and more. Just as email has become commonplace in schools, the information technologies built to increase dialogue and to expedite the transfer of knowledge to others will blend in with everyday language arts practices.
Structured Revision: A New Model In Rethinking, Rewriting, And Reiterating Text, Tom Henry
Structured Revision: A New Model In Rethinking, Rewriting, And Reiterating Text, Tom Henry
The Utah English Journal
Many procedures offered by textbooks, including the process model itself, fall short of actually encouraging students to successfully revise and/or make significant changes to their texts. Yet a form of revision which is more carefully structured may help students to make more specific changes while improving the quality of their diction, syntax, paragraphing, and the overall quality of their writing.

We are coming into a time where our knowledge of food, its connections, and its significance is blossoming as a national and global conversation. This food conversation must become pertinent in our schools as well.

Religion, Reform, And Modernity In The Eighteenth Century: Thomas Secker And The Church Of England: Book Review, Bob Tennant
Religion, Reform, And Modernity In The Eighteenth Century: Thomas Secker And The Church Of England: Book Review, Bob Tennant
Religion in the Age of Enlightenment
Thomas Secker was born in 1693 into a Dissenting family, joined the Church of England in his early twenties, and ultimately served as Archbishop of Canterbury, from 1758 until his death in 1768-the last one to head the communion in an undivided Anglophone political community. Robert Ingram has produced an impressively organized account of his personal and, especially public, life with an unprecedented breadth of research and reading. He has also done it with an obvious, indeed, self-confessed, enthusiasm for his subject and in a free-flowing (though sometimes disconcertingly breezy) style that is a pleasure to read, although the prose …

Speech From The Utah English Teacher Of The Year, Krissy Beecher
Speech From The Utah English Teacher Of The Year, Krissy Beecher
The Utah English Journal
A few weeks ago, I was sitting at my desk after school feeling really discouraged. I was upset about the current state of education funding. I knew I was losing my prep days for next year, my pay was going down, and my class sizes were going up significantly. I was also discouraged because I had just seen the tentative plan for what classes I would be teaching next year. I wondered, “Why am I a teacher?”
Mad Hot Classroom: Test Prep And Literacy Instruction As Imaginative Dance Partners, Sirpa Grierson, Heather Hansen Wing
Mad Hot Classroom: Test Prep And Literacy Instruction As Imaginative Dance Partners, Sirpa Grierson, Heather Hansen Wing
The Utah English Journal
“Slang. Dialect. Ethnic terms. Stream of Consciousness. . .” With state testing only a few months away, Heather felt pressured to cover another eight remaining literary terms she had not yet covered from the eleventh grade state language arts core (USOE, 1996, 31). The unfinished task buzzed at the edge of her consciousness. She wanted her students to succeed. But how could she teach them these remaining state core requirements in a way that would foster, not squash, their clever inventiveness? Her biggest fear was that a classroom usually sizzling with creativity and moxie would fall asleep when her eleventh …
Stories From A Service Learning Project In An Assisted Living Home, Debbie Davis
Stories From A Service Learning Project In An Assisted Living Home, Debbie Davis
The Utah English Journal
Maddy, 10th grade, took notes as 89-year-old Cordelia, comfortably settled in her wheelchair, recalled life as a teenager during the Great Depression. Periodically the two paused, reflecting on the story just told. Then Maddy leaned forward with another question, and Cordelia’s animated storytelling would resume. Zack, 9th grade, wrote furiously as Louis, 87, with hands punctuating the air, talked of World War II. Louis served in the Army unit responsible for the invasion of Japan, a mission in which unit casualties were projected at 80 – 90 %. The invasion was called off when Japan surrendered. These stories were among …

Monarchy And Religion: The Transformation Of The Royal Culture In Eighteenth-Century Europe: Book Review, Kathleen E. Urda
Monarchy And Religion: The Transformation Of The Royal Culture In Eighteenth-Century Europe: Book Review, Kathleen E. Urda
Religion in the Age of Enlightenment
Originating with a 2002 international conference given by the German Historical Institute London, this fine collection of essays edited by Michael Schaich seeks to challenge and complicate an enduring master narrative about the eighteenth century "as a period of desacralization of monarchy". Schaich states in his introduction that Monarchy and Religion is not a "revisionist" attempt to suggest that religion remained the only or even the main source of monarchy's power and influence in the eighteenth century. Rather, Schaich excellently delineates gaps that have existed for far too long in the portrayal of the European monarchy. He argues in his …

To Give Is Better Than To Receive: The Benefits Of Peer Review To The Reviewer’S Own Writing, Wendy Baker, Kristi Lundstrom
To Give Is Better Than To Receive: The Benefits Of Peer Review To The Reviewer’S Own Writing, Wendy Baker, Kristi Lundstrom
Faculty Publications
Although peer review has been shown to be beneficial in many writing classrooms, the benefits of peer review to the reviewer, or the student giving feedback, has not been thoroughly investigated in second-language writing research. The purpose of this study is to determine which is more beneficial to improving student writing: giving or receiving peer feedback. The study was conducted at an intensive English institute with ninety-one students in nine writing classes at two proficiency levels. The ‘‘givers’’ reviewed anonymous papers but received no peer feedback over the course of the semester, while the ‘‘receivers’’ received feedback but did not …
V.S. Naipaul And The 1946 Trinidad General Election, Aaron Eastley
V.S. Naipaul And The 1946 Trinidad General Election, Aaron Eastley
Faculty Publications
On 1 July 1946 the first election featuring universal adult suffrage was held in Trinidad. As reported in the island’s leading newspaper of the day, the Trinidad Guardian, the “privilege of a lowered franchise” expanded the electorate nearly tenfold, from approximately 30,000 to 259,000 eligible voters (“Momentous”). This was a precipitous change, especially in a colony where voting even on a limited scale had only been instituted a couple of decades before (1925), in an era when lingering doubts about the qualifications of nonwhites and women had motivated the institution of property, literacy, and age requirements that disenfranchised all but …
Altered States Of Style: The Drug-Induced Development Of Jack Kerouac's Spontaneous Prose, Eric M. Izant
Altered States Of Style: The Drug-Induced Development Of Jack Kerouac's Spontaneous Prose, Eric M. Izant
Theses and Dissertations
Jack Kerouac's spontaneous prose method was inspired in part by his use of drugs while writing. While there is abundant biographical evidence that Kerouac used drugs frequently, little attention has been paid to their effects on the development of his style. This thesis attempts to demonstrate that the altered states of consciousness produced by Kerouac's drug use should be considered in conjunction with historical, cultural, and biographical forces in tracing the evolution of Kerouac's creative growth. As a member of the Beat Generation, Kerouac used drugs both as a social statement of rebellion and for artistic insight. In fact, he …
