Printable Memorial Day Poems Flag Day Activities 4th of July Activities Veterans' Day Activities Famous American Coloring Pages Memorial Day was originally called Decoration Day. It is a day of remembrance for those who have died in the service of our nation. Waterloo N.Y. was officially declared the birthplace of Memorial Day by President Lyndon Johnson in May 1966, but it's difficult to prove the origins of the day. There is also evidence that a women's group in the South decorated graves before the end of the Civil War. In either case, Memorial Day has had numerous starts due to the human need to honor the dead. Though some people think it's a day to honor any and all dead, Memorial Day is intended to honor those who have given their all in service to our country.

Extractions: J Terence Mayes Learning technology has been through several previous cycles involving high expectation of a revolution in educational practice, followed by complete disappointment. This time there are new reasons for optimism, yet the expectation will again be unfulfilled unless the technology meets real learner needs. To understand what these needs are a theory of learning in educational settings is required. Such a theory should then guide the further development of learning technology. Here, an account of learning as a continuous cycle of refining concepts is described, providing a framework for understanding educational need, and indicating where technology might best meet that need. Stages of learning are mapped onto types of courseware, and a new kind of support for the crucial role of dialogue is proposed. In Groundhog Day the hero escapes from the loop by finally recognising his true nature. Are we now at the point of breaking free in education? Expectations are again high (MacFarlane Report, 1993). It is very widely believed that this time is different, and the educational systems of the near-future will be radically different from those that have long characterised organised teaching and learning. Let us first consider why this might or might not be true in the context of UK higher education. What's different now?

Extractions: Students in Annemarie Kanenwisher's freshmen English class at Corvallis High School in western Montana pose with historical photographs and interpretive essays drawn from the 100-year history of the school they researched and wrote. The exhibits will be permanently displayed in the lobby of the town's new gymnasium. What do we do in troubled times? I found this small jewel of a poem by Wendell Berry after I returned from Vietnam and enrolled at the University of Montana, leaving behind work on a degree in physics I had begun before the service to instead study literature, planning to teach in small, Montana towns. It served as a touchstone that had something to do with my desire then to work in quiet places, relatively untroubled by big events.

"Best Screenwriting Magazine" -- LA Times A funny and poignant tale of real transformation, groundhog day is a true original . He wakes up the next morning, and it s groundhog day all over again. http://www.creativescreenwriting.com/csdaily/dvds/04_06_04.html
Extractions: CS Daily Archive DVD of the Day Worth Watching Again and Again and... BY LINDA COWGILL A funny and poignant tale of real transformation, Groundhog Day is a true original. It provides Bill Murray with his perfect role: the egotistical TV weatherman who discovers his humanity after a spin in his own private Twilight Zone . Critics laud Murray's performance in 2003's Lost in Translation , but this is the movie that proved he was more than just a comedian and a real movie star. Groundhog Day: Special Edition Screenplay by Danny Rubin and Harold Ramis Phil Connors, an unbearably smug TV weatherman in Philadelphia goes on the annual assignment to Punxsutaweny for the Groundhog Day festivities. With him are cheery producer Rita and sidekick cameraman Larry. Phil detests the silly tradition and the small-town schmaltz, and insists they leave after filing their report. But a blizzard (that Phil has failed to predict) turns them back. Phil's stuck in his own private hell, Punxsutaweny, PA, and now his nightmare really begins. He wakes up the next morning, and it's Groundhog Day all over again.
The Nitpickers Site: Movie Comment - Groundhog Day - 1993 A comment on a nitpick on the movie groundhog day 1993. the teacher whohad been teaching him the other days say s he is my student and goes up http://www.nitpickers.com/movies/comments/34844.html
Extractions: Nitpick Details: After Phil gets done playing the paino, the teacher who had been teaching him the "other days" say's "he is my student" and goes up and hugs him and stuff. But since each day keeps reseting it's self, she should not have remembered teaching him all the other times. Comment Summary: it's possible.... Comment Details : It's possible that she could remember him, because him taking just (1) piano lesson and going to the party would have all happened in the course of just one of his repeating Groundhog Days. It looked to me like once he started going to her house for lessons, (even if he didn't go the first Groundhog Day) he went every day. I agree with the other commenter that it is still a stretch for her to claim that he was her "student," seeing as she would only ever remember giving him one lesson before he was able to play like that at the party. But that's not a mistake in the movie, it's possible for anyone to make such a claim if it would make them look good or drum up business. It's human nature!

Extractions: An "Elderhostel" is an educational adventure for older adults who love to be challenged by new experiences. There are no prerequisites, no exams nor grades. It generally lasts 5 days and is open to adults age 55 or older; a spouse/companion can be younger. (1) The workshops are based on the expressed needs and interests that often go beyond facts, figures and methods of heritage studies. For many elderhostelers this means getting acquainted with a heritage denied through anti-Germanism caused by two world wars. We designed three Elderhostel programs. Their structures and materials were developed in response to feedback there and from workshops and seminars elsewhere. Exploring Our German-American Heritage provides a general introduction to the German-American experience and German-American Studies.

You'd like Literature for $300? This genre of early American literature was considered dangerous. [muffled shouts] Please, audience, no coaching. "Comic book" is the wrong answer anyway. What's that, Contestant No. 2? Yes, it's the novel! You choose Politics for $400? Mrs. Lucy Sumner in the 1797 novel "The Coquette" associates tragedy, luxury and excess with these two countries. Andorra and Liechtenstein, you say? No, and Monaco is wrong, too. The answer is ... England and France. Those questions and others whizzed around the classroom on Jeopardy Day this semester in Major American Novelists, a course taught by Dale Bauer, professor of English and women's studies. The game is part of her teaching tool kit, a way to have her students kick in instead of nod off. Jeopardy Day brought lots of laughter to her classroom, along with cries of "Yes!" when one of the three competing groups won "dollars." One wag kept whispering wrong answers to his opponents, such as "Kafka" when Bauer asked for the author of the best-selling American novel of the 19th century (Harriet Beecher Stowe for "Uncle Tom's Cabin"). They wisely ignored him.
