Scholastic Home About Us Site Map Search ... Customer Service By Tarry Lindquist Here's the story on historical fiction in my classroom: It illuminates time periods, helps me integrate the curriculum, and enriches social studies. Just take Amy's word for it. At the end of our westward-expansion unit, while modeling her journal entry after a fictional account we'd read, this fifth grader wrote: "Dear Diary, July 30, 1852: This journey has been heart-wrenching, thirst-quenching, and most of all, an adventure I will never forget." Blending stories into a study of history turns the past into a dynamic place. Of course, historical fiction doesn't stand alone in my instructional program; even the best literature cannot address skills and processes unique to social studies that kids must learn. I have students balance fiction with fact, validate historical hypotheses with research. Historical fiction is the spice.

Long "Geographical, Statistical and Historical map of Arkansas Territory" From: Philadelphia, Carey and Lea, 1822 NYPL, Humanities and Social Sciences Library, Map Division Click here or on image to enlarge The text that accompanies this 1822 map, from the first U.S. atlas to provide separate maps of the various states and territories, openly discusses the removal of Cherokees from their residence east of the Mississippi and their resettlement in Arkansas Territory, later Oklahoma. The publishers, Carey & Lea, acknowledge "the politeness of Major [Stephen H.] Long, of the Corps of Engineers, for the use of his Manuscript map of the Western Territories, constructed from surveys made in his last expedition to that country, under the direction of the department of War." Major Long is best known for designating the Great Plains region as the "Great Desert" on this map; some scholars think this designation alone had a very powerful negative effect on the settlement of this area. Long's map was first published, not as a government document, but in a profit-making commercial atlas with wide popular distribution. The map emphasized political boundaries with strong color, but careful examination reveals geological formation boundaries, Spanish and Indian trails, explorers' routes, and tribal boundaries imposed by the federal government.

"S" Historical Geographers Andrew Sluyter Congratulations on the new home. Coincidentally, I'd just returned from Pattee Library and had been looking at the Sanborn maps for State College. I didn't buy a house, not yet anyway, and am not planning on becoming an urbanist but am thinking of using them in an exercise for a class. Wonderful maps! Anyway, no time to write much now, but I am going to include a note that I just sent to Harold Gulley at the HGSG Newsletter for the Winter issue. With Adam Rome joining us this past fall, we now have a solid nucleus of historical/environmental types here, and I wanted to get the word out on that development. Adam is a Don Worster student from Kansas and has a 49%/51% appointment in Geography/History. But I'll just include the note here, beat it home ahead of the storm (with all the rain this summer, I feel like I'm back in B.C.), and hope for more action on histgeog@.

FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC Places have powerful stories to tell. They speak through relationships to their settings, their plan and design, their building materials, their atmosphere and ambience, their furniture, and other objects they contain. They can evoke the ghosts of the people who once lived and worked there. These places provide physical evidence of how broad currents of history affect even small communities. Supplemented with primary or secondary written and visual materials, they also teach such skills as observation, working with maps, interpreting visual evidence, evaluating bias, analysis, comparison and contrast, and problem-solving. Teaching with Historic Places, a program administered by the National Park Service's National Register of Historic Places, offers a variety of ways to share this "power of place" with students across the nation. At the heart of the program is a series of more than 50 classroom-ready lesson plans based on historic places listed in the National Register. These lessons allow teachers to use historic places to bring the new standards in geography, history, and social studies into their classrooms.

FRENCH TRAVEL WRITING FROM THE AMERICAS, 1500-1800 NEH SUMMER INSTITUTE FOR COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY TEACHERS THE NEWBERRY LIBRARY CENTER FOR RENAISSANCE STUDIES JULY 14 - AUGUST 15, 2003 Directed by Carla Zecher Supported by a major grant from The National Endowment for the Humanities , promoting excellence in the humanities. About the institute This five-week institute for college and university teachers will offer an introduction to French travel writing from colonial Brazil, Florida, Canada, Louisiana, and the Caribbean. Each session will focus on a particular writer, and we will proceed in chronological order to trace literary borrowings and to follow the progress of the French encounter with the Americas. Representatives of all disciplines in the humanities are welcome. The institute will be conducted in English, and all of the readings are available in English translation. In addition to reading travel accounts and related secondary texts, participants will be encouraged to undertake research or curriculum projects, drawing on the Newberry Library's world-renowned collections of colonial manuscript and print materials. About the visiting faculty Carla Zecher , Director of the Newberry Library Center for Renaissance Studies, specializes in French literature of the 16th and 17th centuries, with two areas of focus: interrelations between the arts, and epistolary writing from New France. Her publications include articles on Marie de l'Incarnation in
