Document Summary

Today"s musical selection is girl talk"s let it out. you can listen here: https://www. youtube. com/watch?v=ftsxfquyhf0 and you can find the list of track samples here: https://girltalk. fandom. com/wiki/all_day and you can find the lyrics here: http:// www. songlyrics. com/girl-talk/let-it-out-lyrics/ Girl talk directly confronts the idea of authorship as being something connected to creative genius (as we saw with the romantics). And yet in the compilation created by girl talk something new (and original) is indeed being created. Think about whether girl talk/gillis is actually an author here or if he has disappeared from the text. Poststructuralism can be a bit challenging because the concepts are very different from those used by theorists like the new critics, but (to my mind at least!) poststructuralism is very fun, because it is very playful. And it uses that play to unravel structures of power and dominance - so it is also not at all meaningless.

Complex Sentences and Subordinate Clauses

A complex sentence has a main clause and one or more subordinate clauses. A main clause has a subject and a predicate, and it can stand alone as a sentence. A subordinate clause also has a subject and a predicate, but it cannot stand alone as a sentence. It depends on the main clause to complete its meaning. It can act as an adjective, an adverb, or a noun.

I Hear America Singing

by Walt Whitman

I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear,

Those of mechanics, each one singing his as it should be blithe and strong,

The carpenter singing his as he measures his plank or beam,

The mason singing his as he makes ready for work, or leaves off work,

The boatman singing what belongs to him in his boat, the deckhand singing on the steamboat deck,

The shoemaker singing as he sits on his bench, the hatter singing as he stands,

The woodcutter's song, the ploughboy's on his way in the morning, or at noon intermission or at sundown,

The delicious singing of the mother, or of the young wife at work, or of the girl sewing or washing,

Each singing what belongs to him or her and to none else,

The day what belongs to the day-at night the party of young fellows, robust, friendly,

Singing with open mouths their strong melodious songs.

How does Whitman convey the idea that "America singing" is composed of a unique song sung by each unique American?

A. "Each singing what belongs to him or her and to none else"

B. "Singing with open mouths their strong melodious songs.

C. "The boatman singing what belongs to him in his boat"

Rhian is a five-year-old girl who has just migrated with her family from Iran as a refugee. She attends your service twice a week and she is experiencing difficulty in forming friendships with the other children as she frequently wets her pants. At first, you assumed she was nervous and was forgetting to go to the toilet, but now you are wondering whether there is some other cause of her incontinence. You approach your Director to ask if there were any toileting issues identified at enrolment and find there were not. You decide to start a ‘Star Chart’ for her to reward every successful day without wetting herself. This is a dismal failure. You then try offering her stamps as a reward. After a few weeks, you decide to speak to her mother again about the problem because you have noticed that Rhian is deliberately restricting the amount of fluid she drinks through the day.

Rhian’s mother still insists that she is toilet trained and there must be something at the service that is stopping her from using the toilet. She asks to look again at the toilet and walks towards the staff toilet. You call her back and guide her to the children’s toilets, which are communal and open. The problem was evident immediately to Rhian’s mother; she explains that in Iran it is considered very shameful to go to the toilet where others can see you, so Rhian would not use the children’s toilet no matter what reward she was offered.

The educator failed to look beyond the obvious to identify the issues behind Rhian’s behaviour. Why is it important to consult with other professionals before determining the causes for a child’s behaviour?
