Italo Calvino: A Writer Fascinated With Form, Ann Ellsworth Jan 1987

Italo Calvino: A Writer Fascinated With Form, Ann Ellsworth

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Italo Calvino is a twentieth-century writer whose work reflects a transition from realism or neorealism to postmodernism. This thesis will explore how that shift occurred. I will show how Calvino's early fascination with form, especially the techniques of oral storytelling, led to a later focus on form in his boldly experimental works. In the first chapter I will point out the early signs of fantasy in Calvino's neorealistic novel, The Path to the Nest of Spiders. This novel's affinity to folktales and use of fantasy foretell Calvino's subsequent contributions to these literary genres. I will discuss how Calvino's work with …

A Study Of The Relationship Of Three Different Oral Revision Activities And Expository Rewriting, Terryl Friberg Anderson Jan 1986

A Study Of The Relationship Of Three Different Oral Revision Activities And Expository Rewriting, Terryl Friberg Anderson

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

As theorists and instructors of written composition come to understand writing as more than a product of putting thoughts on slate, paper, or screen, oral revision techniques such as student-teacher conferences and peer editing groups are increasingly being used during the process of composing. Recent reports indicate use of these and other speaking activities in the writing classroom, as pre-writing procedures and as revision techniques, for example. Yet, the call continues for more research in both the teaching of written composition and in speaking/writing relationships. This research was designed to determine the effects of using three different oral revision techniques--peer …

The Criminal Side In The Curriculum: A Bibliography Of Crime Fiction For Use In Secondary World History And United States History Courses, Matthew A. Kollasch Jan 1985

The Criminal Side In The Curriculum: A Bibliography Of Crime Fiction For Use In Secondary World History And United States History Courses, Matthew A. Kollasch

Graduate Research Papers

History can be one of the most exciting courses that high school students study. Yet often it is rendered lifeless by the sole use of the textbook. It is assumed that if the students are allowed to read history related crime fiction in conjunction with their history courses they will find the subject to be more interesting because the human drama of history is better personified in fiction than in the textbook. In addition to the concern for the students' interest in history it is assumed that when given the opportunity teachers will work with media specialists on instructional development …
