Representation of the Titanic in Children’s Literature

Abstract The sailing of the Titanic and its shocking demise intrigue readers to research more information. Written in young adult literature through various viewpoints, the Titanic’s story has a natural inquiry base due to its uncertainty. Trade books in the elementary classroom are increasing in use due to the state and national initiatives encouragement in using diverse texts. By using these texts, teachers allow students to analyze the various representations given to the Titanic’s history. In the subsequent sections, I review history-based curricula and historical significance of the Titanic. The methods of implementation are projected to inform teachers about the various selection of supplemental classroom resources.https://thekeep.eiu.edu/lib_awards_2018_docs/1002/thumbnail.jp

Representation of the Titanic in Children\u27s Literature

State and national education initiatives are the driving force behind increased exploration of diverse texts, namely informational texts. Trade books offer opportunity for interdisciplinary units to develop through the rise of informational text use in both English/language arts and history/social studies. Primary source documents serve as a liaison to filing gaps in the information left out from textbooks and trade books. A more thorough understanding of historical figures and events are a result of such analysis. The initiatives do not dictate specific curricular material; teachers use their discretion when choosing available trade books, primary documents, and other curricular resources. In this research, I qualify and quantify how the Titanic, a popular historical ship tragedy associated with theory, is portrayed in trade books. Representations within 30 trade books concerning the Titanic are addressed and analyzed. Recommendations and rationale for trade book selection and implementation in elementary school are addressed

Mentor Experiences Among Navy Flag Officers: A Survey of Retired Navy Admirals

This study offered an exploratory investigation of the extent to which the Navy\u27s most successful officers have been mentored. The frequency, duration, nature, and significance of mentor relationships in the careers ofretired U.S. Navy admirals was assessed. A survey instrument concerning mentor relationships was mailed to a sample of 1350 retired admirals. A response rate of 51 % was achieved. Results indicate that 66.8% of respondents had been mentored at some point during their military career. Respondents reported an average of 3.35 mentors who were most likely to be male military officers, most often older than the protege, and in the respondent\u27s chain of command. Overall, mentor relationships in the Navy were considered to be extremely significant for the proteges\u27 personal and professional growth and a general evaluation of mentor relationships was significantly related to the respondents\u27 satisfaction with their careers

Assessing the costs of solar power plants for the Island of Roatàn

Thesis (S.B.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2011.Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (p. 36-37).This is an analysis assessing the installation costs of different solar power plant technologies and the current commercial availability for installation on the Island or Roatàn. Commercial large-scale power plants have been in use for decades and their technical feasibility has been documented as well as their high installation costs. Roatàn is currently seeking alternatives for powering their island. This thesis explores the initial costs of the solar power options currently available to the island, focusing on the large energy storage requirements needed for the island to be powered entirely off of sunlight.by Ethan Huwe.S.B
