Extractions: A participant in the University of Dayton Symposium on the Humanities, March 2002. This course is designed to introduce students to the methods and strategies of teaching history at the secondary level. In order to offer a true introduction to the challenges of teaching history in high schools, this course will involve active discussions in the college classroom and frequent observations of teachers and students in local high schools. This course will focus on several topics and themes that are of great importance to practicing and aspiring teachers. These will include recent debates about the teaching of American, European, and world history, creating active learning opportunities based on primary sources, the utility of lecturing, methods of historical inquiry, teaching writing while teaching history, the use of primary and secondary sources in the classroom, curriculum development and aligning with state standards, the use of technology in teaching and in student research, the benefits of incorporating local history into Unit Plans, and assignment design and evaluation. It will be a busy term.
Columbus Day He told the board he wants East Haven to teach the truth. columbus day Committee CoChairman Bill Zampa, an East Haven resident and former Town Council http://liberalslikechrist.org/about/NHregister01.html
Extractions: East Haven Last month, when tens of thousands of people lined local streets for the regions annual Columbus Day parade, the Rev. Raymond Dubuque saw red. Last week, after first taking a look at what the school system teaches about Christopher Columbus, the retired Methodist minister a father of 10, most of whom went through East Haven schools visited the Board of Education. He told the board he wants East Haven to teach the truth. That truth, Dubuque said, is that Columbus was an invader. The New World was populated by millions of native people living in advanced civilizations before he "discovered" them, and it was the Spaniards not the people they called "Indians" who were the true savages, he said. "In Gods name and in the name of the multitude of native Americans who cant be here because the ancestors who would have given birth to them were wiped out, I urge you to promote education rather than miseducation, and to urge Americans to use Oct. 12 in the future as a national holiday to honor the victims of the American holocaust rather than the perpetrators," he said. Dubuque asked, "Have you ever wondered why when Attila the Hun and Genghis Khan discovered Europe, they were referred to as invaders, but when we talk about the man who invaded this country, we call it discovered?" He was expressing a viewpoint held by many American Indian groups and others who made their voices heard 12 years ago during the 500th anniversary of Columbus first voyage to the New World.

Extractions: Contact Us The ACF is concerned about hunger in the United States. To help in the fight against hunger, the National ACF has established The Chef and the Child Foundation, our voice in the fight against hunger. Through the Chef and the Child Foundation, the ACF provides local grants to feed hungry children, and trains volunteers and personnel at soup kitchens and shelters to serve food that is safe, wholesome and nutritious. Having made our living with food, we want to share our knowledge and expertise. It's our way of giving back to society. The ACF Columbus Chapter holds fundraisers each year specifically for the Chef and the Child Foundation. Annual events are the Chef's Garden Grill held in Schiller Park during the German Village Home and Garden Tour, and a fall fundraising dinner produced by the second-year apprentice class at Columbus State Community College. Twenty percent of funds raised will go to the the National ACF Chef and the Child Foundation, and eighty percent is given to our local partner, the Children's Hunger Alliance, formerly the Ohio Hunger Task Force. As part of the Chef and the Child Program, the ACF Columbus Chapter in cooperation with the Children's Hunger Alliance, has developed a program called "The Little Chefs Club". At after school sites in the Columbus area, chapter members donate their time to teach children hands-on food preparation. The children have fun learning the basics about food, and they get to eat what they have prepared.
C U L T U R E K I T C H E N: What Is History The main thing history can teach us is that human actions have consequences On columbus day, she asked me why we were celebrating a holiday in honour of http://www.culturekitchen.com/archives/003100.html
Extractions: by Lorraine Berry HISTORY, n. An account mostly false, of events mostly unimportant, which are brought about by rulers mostly knaves, and soldiers mostly fools. Ambrose Bierce We can learn from history how past generations thought and acted, how they responded to the demands of their time and how they solved their problems. We can learn by analogy, not by example, for our circumstances will always be different than theirs were. The main thing history can teach us is that human actions have consequences and that certain choices, once made, cannot be undone. They foreclose the possibility of making other choices and thus they determine future events. Gerda Lerner When I was in graduate school, I was an historian. My "area" was early modern Europe, specifically the cultural wars within a largely Christan Italy that led to Anti-Semitism, the witch trials, the persecution of sodomites, and, after the fall of Constantinople, the terror of the "Turk."

Extractions: Vancouver's Gusts Noted At 92 MPH Ninety-two miles an hour. That was the top wind speed officially recorded in Vancouver by C.J. Moss, veteran weather observer, in Friday's ruinous storm. Moss might get a lot of argument from bereft residents who thought they saw their properties flying away a lot faster than that. And of course, it was pointed out, the wind gusts were not necessarily of the same intensity every where. But what went by the official recording station was doing just 90-plus. The Portland Weather Bureau clocked winds at 80 miles per hour midway through the storm before power failure stopped their equipment.

Rocky Mountain News: Columbus Day Clash In Court columbus day clash in court. Cultural, historical differences surface in pretrial hearing I think I am teaching, Morris said. This is a courtroom. http://www.transformcolumbusday.org/media/20050107-rm.html
Extractions: January 7, 2005 Cultural and historical conflicts came into play early Thursday in an unusual Denver court hearing for more than 230 men and women arrested in a protest of last year's Oct. 9 Columbus Day parade. Two defendants wanted to honor their American Indian heritage by vowing to testify truthfully while clutching an unlit ceremonial pipe. Assistant City Attorney Robert Reynolds answered their request by telling the three judges hearing the pretrial motions procedure, "They can place their hands on a ham sandwich or baloney sandwich as long as they tell the truth. It doesn't matter to me." No objection came immediately. But during a court break a few minutes later, defendant Glenn Morris, director of the American Indian Movement of Colorado and chairman of the political science department at the University of Colorado at Denver, was steaming.
Extractions: of 1492 The voyages of Christopher Columbus provide unlimited teaching opportunities opportunities that can be pursued without glorifying the man or denigrating his achievements. This year, observe Columbus Day by helping your students explore Web sites that put the controversial explorer's achievements into historical perspective. Included: Links to on-line lesson plans for teaching about Columbus across the grades! "What is the difference between a true observance and a mere celebration? A celebration is a birthday party for which we put candles on the cake, forgetting imperfections, glossing over errors, and raising our glasses in unadulterated praise. ... An observance examines the whole event, puts it into a modern as well as a historical context, examines the world in which the event took place its mindset, ecology, demography, religious outlook, sociology admits to the existence of both positive and negative aspects, and communicates the true significance of the event, a significance which if properly understood, resonates as much today as in the time when it happened." J. Challinor and Wilcomb E. Washburn
Extractions: Brief Description Students use inquiry-based learning to gather information about Columbus's impact on the Americas. They use this information to answer the question of whether a fictitious community should continue to recognize Columbus Day. Objectives Students use information literacy skills to evaluate the reliability of source material on Columbus, use problem-solving skills to create a solution to an ill-constructed problem that has no clear right or wrong answer, work in cooperative teams to gather information, discuss a problem, and come to a conclusion.
