Extractions: History: A cornucopia, also called a horn of plenty, is a symbol of abundance taken from an ancient legend. Thousands of years ago, the people of Greece believed that their god, Zeus, was reared by a beautiful maiden. As the story goes, she fed the infant Zeus an endless supply of goat's milk from a cornucopia, or goat's horn. As centuries passed, most people forgot this ancient legend, but the cornucopia remained a symbol of an endless supply of food or drink. As the history of the United States unfolded, the cornucopia became a symbol for Thanksgiving, the day set aside in thanks for abundance.

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.
