Drama JEN 353

Hi

It is my pleassure to assit you with your assignment on "Much ado about nothing".

1. Unfortunatelly, not many books on this topic are available in our library at Groenkloof and I am suggesting you visit the Hatfield Campus Library.

On level 6 (Hatfield Campus) at 822.361 you will be able to find a lot of books to help you. (Remeber, if you are registerd as a library member at Groenkloof, you will be able to take books from the other UP libraries as well.

2. You can also do a search on Google Scholar (see link on our website).
Keywords to use: angel with horns/comic diction/comic language/much ado about nothing/etc (one or 2 phrases at a time).

3. MLA (Modern Language Assocication) is also a good database to use for journal articles on the topic. Use the keywords as in no.2.

It can be found on our website under E-Resources - Databeses A-Z - MLA International Bibliography.

4. If you need help, please ask! Enjoy doing the assignment.

OPV 364

Hi

Your lecturer Sonja Coetzee informed me of an assignment for the course OPV 364. With info given through to me, I would like to suggest the following:

1: The vulnerability of children due to HIV/AIDS, poverty unemployment, etc.

Possible keywords to use:
child* (child/children), vulnerab* (vulnerable/vulnerability/etc) socio-economic or socioeconomic, HIV/AIDS, poverty, illitera* (illiteracy/illiterate/etc), etc

Searching for books:
Searching for information from books, on this topic, would most probably also take you to level 1 at Hatfield Campus Library. If you only want to retrieve books at the library on Groenkloof Campus, do an Advanced search on the catalogue and specify your location as Groenkloof Campus.

Searching for journal articles:
Make use of ERIC and SAePublication from Education Databases on our website http://www.library.up.ac.za/edu/. The above mentioned keywords would also do.

2:To find information on the role (pastoral role) the teacher can play in helping vulnerable children, I suggest you use the journal - "Pastoral Care in Education". It can be found via:


  • Academic Search Premier from "Education databases" http://www.library.up.ac.za/edu/edudatabases.htm. Enter the title of the journal (Pastoral Care in Education) in the "Publication" field or, in "Select a field". Add other search terms as well to narrow your search down. The articles will then be searched in the specific journal.
  • "Journals" where you search the journal (Pastoral Care in Education) in electronic format.

The following article might be something to use: Le Count, D. & Lang, P. 2000. Working with 'Difficult' Children from the Inside Out: Loss and Bereavement and how the Creative Arts can Help. Pastoral Care in Education. vol. 18, no.2. pp.17.
