Group 2 Debate between Senator Beck and Senator Hoar, December 13, 1882 The clause will be read as proposed to be amended. The Acting Secretary read as follows: First, for open, competitive examinations for testing the fitness of applicants for the public service now classified or to be classified hereunder; which competitive examinations, as nearly as may be, shall be upon such subjects as are embraced in a good common-school education and such subjects as relate to the duties of the office for which the person examined is proposed. Mr. BECK. I suppose this would apply to all the departments of the Government, including the Life-Saving Service. Mr. HOAR. There is where the Senator makes his mistake. Mr. BECK. I happen to know a man who was a lieutenant, a commissioned officer in the Army, and served through the war, and served gallantly, who did all his duties well. We passed a law requiring a certain amount of education for even non-commissioned officers. He could not compete; and he was not only degraded from the rank that he, held, but he is to-day doing very common labor in the city of Washington as a private, not being able to hold even the position of a non- commissioned officer because he had not the education required by the act of Congress. I do not quite feel like degrading men who have done valuable service, because of their misfortune it may be, and I do not believe the school-master test is the test at last. From The Congressional Record . Washington: Government Printing Office, 1882. 245.

Lesson Plans: Topic 1 - Why Study the Georgia Capitol? Activity 2 The Capitol as a Symbol ACTIVITY OBJECTIVE Students will identify reasons for studying the Georgia Capitol and visiting this symbol of Georgia government. MATERIALS AND RESOURCES Worksheet 1.1 "The People’s Building" STRATEGIES As the center of state government for over 100 years, the Georgia Capitol has been the scene of many historical events of local, state, and national significance. The Georgia Capitol is a place where citizens come to celebrate, to mourn, and to express their views. To help students visualize the stories which have unfolded at the Capitol, divide the class into groups of 3 to 5 students and distribute a copy of Worksheet 1.1, "The People’s Building," to each group. Ask students to list examples of events which have occurred at the Capitol in each of the three categories. The textbook, field trip video from Georgia Public Broadcasting, daily newspapers (current and historic), and other resources may be provided to help students generate additional examples. After students finish, ask each group to share their lists as the teacher summarizes by listing responses on the chalkboard. Student responses should demonstrate that the capitol is a center for bringing people together (1) to celebrate [i.e., inauguration of governors], (2) to mourn [i.e., lying in state of prominent officials]; and (3) to express their views [i.e., to lobby for or against legislation].

The Parachute of Shame Level Grade 8-12 (13-18 years) Most effective 16-18 years To present an argument in support of a proposition To encourage fun communicative interplays Lesson Plan The classroom becomes an aeroplane. The pilot has announced that the plane is about to crash, but one parachute is available for use by the passengers. They must hold a parachute debate to decide who will get the parachute. Five class members are chosen to speak in the debate. The rest of the class will listen to their arguments and vote on who should get the parachute at the end. The five characters are A terrorist A bank robber A lawyer A politician A serial killer Each character gets three minutes to present their case. The class votes. The class discusses their reasons for voting as they did. Notes The traditional parachute debate is here turned on its head. The comic nature of this reversal often draws students who otherwise don't participate, into speaking out. The content is often shocking and this again often draws out responses.

Each month, we will create new lessons based upon outstanding PBS series and around outstanding Web resources. 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."

Note to the Teacher: This versatile lesson plan unit, which compares the theories of Darwin and Lamarck, is designed for MIDDLE SCHOOL, JUNIOR HIGH, OR HIGH SCHOOL students in EARTH SCIENCE, BIOLOGY, HISTORY, ETHNICS, GEOGRAPHY and/or ECONOMICS. Origin of the Species vs. Zoological Philosophy SUBTOPIC: Darwin and LamarckA "Bird-Rabbit" Controversy OBJECTIVES: The students will: 1) debate the theories of Darwin and Lamarck 2) construct an extinct "critter," or one on the endangered species list 3) use an imaginary organism to simulate the concept of predator vs. prey 4) determine the diet and colors of Darwin's Finches 5) design own species of organism Background Information After years of studying a variety of organisms, Charles Darwin, in 1859, wrote The Origin of Species , which was a popular success. The initial printing sold out on the first day of publication, but Darwin's theory eventually lost some of its original popularity. Although field naturalists preserved Darwin's emphasis on the role of geographical factors on evolution, many were tempted by the theory of Lamarckism. Jean Baptist de Lamarck was a French naturalist who published Zoological Philosophy in 1809. In his view organic beings constituted a ladder of life from simplest to complex animals, with humans at the top rung. Lamarck did little in the way of explaining the origin of this ladder, but he did offer an explanation for how organisms change over time, thus turning the ladder into what we might call an escalator of being.

Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute Home Choose Your Path by Mary-Alice Howley Contents of Curriculum Unit 93.02.06: Narrative Cinderella Lesson Plans Write Your Own Fairy Tale Lesson Plan “the Three Rival Brothers” Debate Lesson Plan ... To Guide Entry I teach remedial reading at Betsy Ross Arts Magnet Middle School which is a fully integrated city school with a strong drama department, and a dedicated English department. This year with the new superintendent, middle school reform is a priority issue. However, because Betsy Ross is an established magnet school it cannot share in the federal funds, which have been made available to start new magnet schools and to instigate middle school reform. So without the benefit of outside resources the faculty at Betsy Ross is being asked to devise new scheduling matrixes and to create new curriculums to more fully coordinate the arts classes with the academic classes. I plan to use the resources of the Yale New Haven Teachers Institute to create a folk tale curriculum that could be extended to involve the reading laboratory with the fifth and sixth grade English and drama departments. Such a curriculum would meet a zeal need. Towards this end the primary goals of this unit are to foster critical thinking skills, to sharpen writing skills, and to refine public speaking skills. These goals will be met by reading fairy tales, comparing fairy tales, writing fairy tales, and telling fairy tales.

In this manner, students pragmatically focus on correct production skills in conversation rather than striving to "win" the argument. For more information on this approach please see the following feature: Teaching Conversational Skills: Tips and Strategies Of course, once students have become confident in their production skills, the can obviously argue the point they truly believe in.
