Thirteen Ed Online - Original Lesson Plans Using a story by Laura Ingalls Wilder, this language arts/history lesson plan willgive your students a perspective on the dayto-day realities of frontier http://www.thirteen.org/edonline/lessons/index_eng.html
Extractions: Hank Williams: My Inspiration In this lesson, students will watch the AMERICAN MASTERS episode "Hank Williams: Honky Tonk Blues" and use what they learn to help analyze some of his most popular songs. Students will discuss whether or not they feel they can understand an artist through his writing. Finally, students will use Williams's methods of inspiration to pen their own lyrics or poetry. Exploring "Heroism" In honor of the heroes of September 11th, students will explore the concept of "heroism" in this lesson, through personal reflection, group activities and a thoughtful analysis of Thirteen's documentary, HEROES OF GROUND ZERO. Students will use different forms of writing, various artistic media and computer software to create a group presentation on the theme of "heroism."
Extractions: The Library of Congress Barbara Wysocki and Frances Jacobson The primary goal of this activity is to give students the genuine experience of oral history in order to appreciate the process of historiography. We identified immigrants in our community who reflect the ethnic diversity of our student body, enabling students to compare and contrast the stories of these contemporary immigrants with those researched in the thirties reflected in American Life Histories, 1936-1940 and other American Memory collections. Students engage in visual and information literacy exercises to gain an understanding of how to identify and interpret primary historical sources. Further background on the project and its context in our eighth grade history course can be obtained by reading this letter to parents. As designed, this project is almost a year-long experience. However, individual components can be adapted as standalone units, dropped altogether, or expanded to suit local needs. Why oral history?

Study Guide Home Page This study guide serves as a supplement to the radio series, Countdown to Millennium An Oral history project. This resource for teachers includes lesson plans, background on oral history collection, instructions for video interviews and web page construction, and links to oral history archives. http://www.tcomschool.ohiou.edu/cdtm
Extractions: Resources for this study guide will be the Countdown To Millennium website at - www.frognet.net/countdown and the lesson plans on this site. In addition, if a classroom has access to a video camera or an audio tape recorder and a web design program (we used Front Page), then the class could build their own collection of local oral histories. See Video Taping Techniques and Web Design Notes for our instructions on how to create a video archive and individual web pages. ABOUT THE STUDY GUIDE This study guide has several sections. The first two pages, What Is Oral History? and Why Use Oral History? , give a background to the methodology of oral narratives and why they are important. There are examples from oral histories to illustrate the points made. They're a good background for teachers and students alike. Additional pages talk about how you can create an archive of local stories in the classroom. Once established, this database could be added to year after year and become a worthwhile resource for your students and for the community.

Extractions: Today's Globe Politics Opinion Education ... Ideas By Rebecca Zorach, 1/4/2004 IN "MONA LISA SMILE," Katherine Watson, the free-spirited, protofeminist art history professor played by Julia Roberts, struggles mightily against the conservative attitudes she encounters at Wellesley College. The year is 1953, and the students are coiffed, pearled, and patrician exaggeratedly so, according to Wellesley grads of the period who have stepped forward since the movie's release two weeks ago. ADVERTISEMENT Roberts is excoriated in the school paper for trying to persuade her students that they can aspire to a career as well as a husband. She is also branded "subversive" for teaching modern art to her young charges. We're invited to wink knowingly at this veiled reference to McCarthyism, and at the hidebound faculty who express skepticism at Roberts's claim that Picasso will be as important to the 20th century as Michelangelo was to the Renaissance. In a visit to New York to view a Jackson Pollock drip painting in a Greenwich Village loft, she asks her skeptical students merely to "consider" the painting. The movie's take on the period's taste may be as overstated as its depiction of young women hell-bent on getting their "Mrs." degree. In fact, abstract expressionism, American's homegrown brand of modern art, was widely appreciated in the 1950s, especially in elite circles like these. By 1953 Pollock had had numerous shows throughout the country; in 1951 he was featured in Life Magazine along with photos illustrating his drip-painting process. But in its depiction of Roberts's freewheeling teaching style, the movie accurately reflects an emerging approach to art history teaching that, like the modern art she shows her students, emphasized personal expression though perhaps not as much for women as for men.
