Community Scale Results
The document summarizes results from the Rovai Classroom Community Scale given to students in a course in Spring 2012. Based on the survey results:
1) Most students felt that their peers in the course cared about each other and that they felt connected to others. However, about a third felt neutral about these feelings.
2) Students felt they received timely feedback and were encouraged to ask questions. However, some felt reluctant to speak openly or that their educational needs were not fully being met.
3) Overall, the results indicate moderate to high feelings of community and support among students, though some felt isolated or uncertain about their peers. Learning outcomes were also mixed, with most feeling they had opportunities to
GSTLI Project Proposal
The document discusses place in a first-year critical reading and writing course at Gallaudet University. It provides background on the course, including its student learning outcomes and demographics of the diverse and linguistically varied students. Research is presented on definitions of place and how classroom climate, community, and blogging can impact student learning and engagement. Evidence is given of how place is manifested in the course through dynamics of power and authority, students' roles and responsibilities, and using physical and online spaces for specific academic purposes. The goal is to understand how place shapes students' learning experiences.

Epitaphs assignment
The document discusses five categories of epitaphs found on graves: poignant, pious, patriotic, historic, and humorous. It instructs the reader to analyze three gravestone epitaphs based on these categories, and determine if their initial analysis changes after learning the background story of each epitaph. The reader is asked to upload their analysis to Blackboard.
Cemetery Motif
The document analyzes changing attitudes towards death as reflected in gravestone motifs over time. It identifies six historical motifs - Plain Style (1640-1710 reflecting resignation), Death's Head (1670-1770 reflecting fear and religious reverence), Cherub (1740-1820 reflecting confidence), Urn and Willow (1780-1850 reflecting mourning), Monuments (1840-1920 reflecting defiance and wealth), and Garden Style Markers (1900-present reflecting denial). Each motif is characterized by its time period, associated attitude, common visual characteristics, and historical or religious reasons for its popularity.
The revival of americas first urban parks
Cemeteries were the first urban parks in the US in the early 19th century as church graveyards filled up. Mount Auburn Cemetery in Massachusetts set a trend of "rural cemeteries" on city outskirts that provided green space. However, as attitudes toward death changed and dedicated city parks emerged, cemeteries fell out of favor. Now, facing space constraints and fewer burials as cremation rises, cemeteries like Green-Wood in Brooklyn are reopening their gates and embracing public uses like yoga, movies, and music to stay relevant in their communities.

IRA SIG Deaf HH newsletter 2012
This document summarizes research on an emergent literacy intervention called "Adapted 'Little Books'" for deaf children. The intervention uses simplified storybooks and sign bilingualism to help deaf children develop early reading skills. Twenty-five deaf children between ages 4-10 participated in the intervention over 14 months. Assessments found that the intervention improved the children's early reading concepts. The intervention incorporated parent involvement to support literacy development at home. Visual tools like drawing and writing also aided the children's emerging reading abilities. Overall, the research suggests that adapted storybooks and sign bilingualism can effectively promote emergent literacy for deaf children.

This document summarizes a study on the use of translation during guided reading instruction with deaf students. The study examined how first grade deaf students at a school for the deaf translated between American Sign Language (ASL) and written English at different linguistic levels, from individual words to full sentences, while participating in guided reading sessions. Teachers guided students through leveled texts and students were videotaped signing their translations. Researchers analyzed the videos and identified 5 levels of translation used by students, from fingerspelling words to using multiple signs for multiple words. Overall students used translation infrequently but increased use of higher level translations with more difficult texts. The study provides insights into how translation supports reading development for deaf students.
Goodbye Tchaikovsky
This novel tells the story of a 12-year-old violin prodigy named David Rothman who suddenly loses his hearing. He had been an overnight success performing Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in New York but then on his birthday suffers an irreparable hearing loss. The book shows how he must now adapt to a new deaf culture and American Sign Language in order to continue his education and pursue his future. It is based on the author's own experience suddenly losing most of his hearing in middle age. He hopes the book will provide hope and inspiration for deaf youth.
Pia Taavila
Pia Taavila, an English professor and author who is a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults), will give a poetry reading and discussion at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library.

NAMLE Presentation 2011 Pajka & Nickerson
This document discusses a course on vampires taught at Gallaudet University. The course examines vampires in literature, film, and pop culture from various historical and critical perspectives. Students engage with texts like Dracula and Nosferatu, analyze films like Deafula, and discuss representations of vampires in popular culture. Students also write scripts and create short films on vampire themes. The goal is for students to develop visual literacy and critical thinking skills through interactive study of vampires across media.
Blogging an effective tool for academic writing
This document summarizes research on the use of blogging as an instructional tool in academic writing courses for deaf students. The research found that blogging encouraged student engagement with course readings and writing assignments. Students who blogged were more likely to complete all assigned readings and writings than students in traditional writing courses. Analysis of student writing samples found that blogging students showed slight improvements in areas like organization of ideas and audience awareness. The researchers concluded that blogging promotes literacy, authentic reading and writing, and student engagement in learning.
Book Analysis
This document discusses different perspectives for analyzing deaf characters in adolescent literature: the pathological perspective and the cultural perspective. The pathological perspective views deafness as a disability or deviation from normal, focusing on the condition rather than the person, and often including stereotypes. The cultural perspective emphasizes deafness as part of a linguistic and cultural minority, showing deaf characters as active participants in the deaf community and culture, with American Sign Language portrayed as a legitimate language rather than "broken English". The document provides tools for analyzing books, including checklists of traits associated with each perspective and guidance for examining characters, plots, settings and other elements through the two lenses.
How To Deaf Characters
This document provides guidance on how to do book reviews and book talks for adolescent literature that includes deaf or hard of hearing characters. It recommends choosing books with broad appeal, considering how diverse characters are portrayed, and understanding the difference between reviews and talks. Research findings show hearing authors presented deafness in a more cultural way while deaf authors included more pathological perspectives. The document also provides tips on book selection and presentation for book talks.

International Reading Association presentation on Deaf Characters in Adolesce...
This document provides an overview of Sharon Pajka-West's research on portrayals of deaf characters in adolescent literature. The research questions examine whether deaf characters are presented culturally or pathologically, whether readers prefer deaf or hearing authors, and how deaf and hearing readers perceive deaf characters. The study analyzed 6 books with deaf main characters, with content analysis and reader response surveys. Findings included that hearing authors presented deaf characters more culturally while deaf authors included more pathological aspects. Readers overall preferred books by hearing authors and perceived deaf characters in various ways such as "the normal curious kid" or "the advocate." The study aims to increase awareness of this literature genre.
Yadc7[1]
This issue of the newsletter discusses deaf characters in comics and graphic novels. The author began researching deaf characters after students brought comics to class. Initially, most portrayals of deaf characters were unrealistic stereotypes. However, one character, Maya Lopez from Daredevil, is portrayed more realistically as a deaf Native American woman. The class discussions about Maya Lopez helped students learn about deaf culture and identity. The author is looking forward to a webinar about an online graphic novel intervention program that includes a deaf character from Cameroon.
Book Reviews
The document provides summaries and reviews of over 30 books for children and young adults that feature deaf characters. Many of the books are novels that tell stories of deaf teenagers going about their daily lives and experiences. Several works are biographical or historical fiction featuring important figures in the deaf community such as Helen Keller. The books cover a wide range of reading levels and topics related to deaf culture, identity, and experiences.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
