   Extractions: HOME Arts Health Language Arts ... Glossary Alaska Standards and Key Elements for Geography The Alaska Geography Standards were modeled after the national geography standards, Geography for Life (1994). The state and national standards share a common vision, as expressed in the Geography Education Standards Projectís publication: The . . . Standards aim to create a geographically informed person: someone who understands that geography is the study of people, places, and environments from a spatial perspective, someone who appreciates the interdependent worlds in which we all live. The study of geography has practical value through the application of a spatial view to life situations ( Geography for Life: National Geography Standards The Alaska Geography Standards also derive from the five themes of geography which have focused classroom inquiry since the publication of Guidelines for Geographic Education: K-12 (1984). The themes ñlocation, place, human/environmental interactions, movement, and region ñremain central to the Alaska Standards, though reorganized under six standards.

    Extractions: At the root of the Alaska panhandle, on the border with Canada, is a magnificent area consisting of the Wrangell, Chugach, and St. Elias mountain ranges. The area is characterized by massive glaciers and icefields punctuated occasionally by bare and jagged peaks. It is the third largest glaciated region in the world after Antarctica and Greenland. Because of the rugged, inhospitable terrain, this area is one of the most inaccessible on earth. Vast distances limit access to those travelling by dog sled or bush plane. Rugged topography limits travel within the area to mountaineers with technical climbing skills. Scores of unclimbed peaks exist. The area is home to several noted mountain peaks: Mount Logan (19524') This is the highest peak in Canada and the second highest in North America after Denali. In terms of volume, Mount Logan is the most massive mountain in the world. Its summit crowns a ridge which exceeds 17000 feet in altitude for some 13 miles. Because of its isolated inland location, it takes would-be climbers a few weeks just to approach. Mount Saint Elias (18008') Located on the border of Alaska and the Yukon Terretory, Mount Saint Elias is the second highest peak in the U.S. and in Canada. It has a remarkable pyramidal shape and is very difficult to climb because it is so steep. Despite that fact, the first successful climb of it was quite early, in 1897, some 28 years before than Mount Logan, because of its proximity to the ocean. Its distance from the present-day tip of Icy Bay is a mere 17 miles, which is barely a stone's throw in comparison to the rest of the region.

This year in middle school social studies we focused on our home State of Alaska. Some of the highlights of the year have included, comparing and contrasting the Harriman Expedition of 1899 and the Harriman Expedition Retraced of 2001. We also had the opportunity to track the activities of a local scientist in her studies in Antarctica and compare that area to Alaska. Last but not least, we were able to learn navigational skills that we applied during a field trip up Glacier Bay. We have been able to communicate and share our field trip data and observations with a school in Opotiki New Zealand who is going on a similar field trip of their area. Phew!

    Extractions: ================UNFINISHED BUSINESS================= Last week, I asked why Summary File 1 would answer the question, "How many Koreans live in Anchorage?" but not "How many Russians live in Anchorage?" The answer is that Summary File 1 contains race data and not ancestry data. As I explained back in Week 3, Korean is a subcategory of the "Asian" race category. Only the race categories of American Indian and Alaska Native; Asian; and Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander are subdivided. Hispanic origin is subdivided into Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban and Other Hispanic. As we know from Week 3, Hispanic is not a race, but an ethnic group. Descent from Russia, or from any other country or group I didn't name back in Week 3 is considered by the Census Bureau to be an ancestry group and not a race nor an ethnic group. Ancestry is a sample data question and the first time we'll see it reported will be in Summary File 3, due out June to September *2002* =============NEW BUSINESS: CENSUS GEOGRAPHY============== Last week, I asked you to look at the release schedule available at [http://www.census.gov/population/www/censusdata/c2kproducts.html].
