News Story celebration will teach black history. By Caroline Lawrence The Herald Staff. Februarymarks the celebration of black history Month. The Student activities Board http://comm.astate.edu/herald/archive/news/0210Month.html
Extractions: The Herald Staff February marks the celebration of Black History Month. The Student Activities Board is collaborating with many campus sororities and fraternities to sponsor activities honoring black history. Dwayne Scott, director of minority student development, said students should learn about their background because it gives them an opportunity to reflect on their culture and heritage, he said. Students could see where they come from and look toward their future, he said. Most events taking place this month are traditional for Arkansas State University's student organizations. Scott said the organizations honoring Black History Month plan the activities themselves and submit their ideas to the Student Life Office. The students set up their guest speakers and plan their events. Scott said he arranges the calendar so no activities conflict. Several events, such as a black faculty and staff appreciation banquet, a salute to black men and a salute to black women took place earlier in February. During Black History Month, the university will dedicate Unity Park as a historical black landmark in a ceremony at 11 a.m. Saturday. The park is behind Twin Towers.

Jennifer Mullins Activities To Teach Past-Time Narrative K. (This is 1 of 2 linked activities) 1. Introduce about the major developments inthe history of movies. For example First (c. 1894) Silent, black and White http://www.gsu.edu/~wwwesl/issue1/mullacts.htm
Extractions: 1. Students write in the notebook every day for the remainder of the quarter unless an exam or other hour-long activity is scheduled. The notebooks can be collected once a week; however, they are not graded and grammar is not checked. I typically read and respond to content. The daily writing gives students an opportunity to develop fluency without being overly concerned about accuracy. Because they will write in response to student-generated prompts, they have a measure of control over the subject matter. Since the prompts are related to the discourse type being studied at the time, they may elicit some of the grammatical items found in that cluster. 2. Begin class by brainstorming topics. Narrative tells what happened: when do we use (read/write/speak) narrative? In what situations? What are some examples? Examples on the board. Perhaps to include: talking to friends, telling them about what we've done, writing to friends, writing applications that ask for autobiographies, for example, if you apply to some graduate programs at Georgia Tech; newspaper/magazine news/interest stories, stories in fiction, history, business reports/scientific reports, police reports, obituaries. What are some questions that require narrative answers? Write the questions on the board.

Extractions: Ms. Judith Dixon I am a special education teacher at East Rock Global Magnet School. I teach in a fifth grade inclusion classroom. The curriculum is adapted to meet the academic needs required for special needs students. Literacy is the major focus in our school system. Literacy addresses reading, writing and speaking. In my unit the choices of literature will reflect the past and present issues in African American History. The children will read and discuss in creative ways what the author is trying to convey to the audience. Literacy is vital to a child's growth. It opens up a whole new world when they're able to read and be able to understand what they've read. I will center my literature on the Underground Railroad, Civil Rights Era, and the book entitled, Through My Eyes by Ruby Bridges There are discrepancies and a lack of factual information in regard to African American History. I will choose two or three movies, and let the children go beyond what was presented during these movies through reading additional literature and researching various topics presented. In order to better interpret the movie and gain a better understanding of race and ethnicity, my students will compare and contrast the information presented in the movie(s) versus non-fictional literature.
100th Day Of School Activities Because the hundreth day fell in February, black history Month, I We did the activitywith the entire school (250 it is amazing how much they teach each other http://www.siec.k12.in.us/~west/proj/100th/act.htm
Extractions: Return to West Homepage Here are some favorite activities teachers are doing when celebrating the 100th Day of School!! Have the children make a collection of 100 items and display them on a poster board Make up your own trail mix using 100 items of each ingredient Line up 100 children Say hello in 100 languages This idea is from Cathy N.: We worked with a buddy and traced each others' feet. Each of the children colored and decorated one foot, and then combined with the other children in other classes, we taped the footprints down the hall and marked off every 10 feet until we reached 100, so the children could see exactly how many 100 footprints are. The children really enjoyed this. We also made a class book: If I had $100.00 I would buy_. I xeroxed a $100.00 bill onto the classbook page, and each child wrote and drew what they would buy. We worked together with other classes in our building (a multiage activity) on this project. Then we had a huge classbook to display during our Open House in February.
