Extractions: Students will gain an understanding of the significance of the Presidential Election of 1860. In preparation for the creation of hypothetical political campaign commercials, students will do background research on the issues via the internet and by viewing a portion of the PBS documentary, Abraham and Mary Lincoln: A House Divided. From these sources, they will gain an understanding of the party platforms and a sense of the personalities and relationship of the two main candidates. Following the video project, students will view a second segment of A House Divided, entitiled "Elected." This segment highlights the impact Lincoln's election had on the nation. To tie up this experience, students will answer a Document-Based Question entitled "What Caused Secession?" (Terri Noonan, Document-Based Assessment Activites for U.S. History Classes, J. Weston Walsh Publishers, 1999). This DBQ showcases various perspectives from the nation about the impact of the election.

(Al) Nier circa 1940 with the mass spectrometer he used to isolate Uranium 235. Physics at the University of Minnesota began in 1889 when the University recruited Frederick S. Jones as its first professor of physics. The first Physical Laboratory, now called Jones Hall, was completed in 1902. Construction of the front portion of the current physics building, the John Tate Laboratory of Physics, began in 1927. Located on the historic central mall of the Minneapolis main campus, the building has been expanded and extensively remodelled almost a half dozen times since then. Tate Laboratory now houses extensive up-to-date equipment and facilities for teaching and research in most major areas of physics. Physicists associated with the University of Minnesota have won six Nobel prizes [J. Bardeen (two), W. Brattain, A. Compton, E. Lawrence, and J. Van Vleck]. Professor J. Valesek discovered the phenomenon of ferroelectricity in Rochelle salts in the 1920s. Professor J. Tate edited the Physical Review at Minnesota from 1926 to 1950, while otherwise carrying on a distinguished career in teaching and research. Under Tate's guidance, the journal went from a secondary journal, to become one of the most important peer-reivew physics journals in the world. Using the technique of mass spectroscopy, Professor A.O.C. Nier first isolated a detectable amount of U-235 in the basement of Tate Laboratory on February 29, 1940.

Extractions: Home of the Free and the Wild Mustangs represent the spirit of the Old West. Wild and free, they evoke images of vast rolling prairies, untamed hills and mountains, and hidden canyons. Though the ancestors of horses once roamed across North America, they died out on this continent thousands of years ago. The horse returned to the Americas with the invasion of Spanish explorers in the 16th century. Some of those animals escaped from, or were freed by, their masters, reproduced in the wild, and became the foundation for the herds of mustangs that still roam the American West today. Over the centuries, more horses have joined these wild bands. One of the enduring romances of the Old West is the tale of the spiritual bond between mythic heroes and the wild horses they tamed. At the turn of the century, there were possibly as many as 2 million wild horses. But the Old West is no more. Roads, cities, ranches, farms, people and progress have covered much of the mustang's range, and the remaining horses are scattered throughout publicly-owned lands, or on a few private preserves in the West. The transition has been cruel and bloody. Earlier in this century, wild horses were hunted down and shipped to slaughterhouses. With the government's blessing, mustangers used means fair and foul to destroy these icons of the past.

Extractions: home bible study prayer service ... contacts by Jay Sutherland (jay_sutherland@yahoo.com) Recently I met a Cornell Grad IV friend for ice cream at a local restaurant. After a while the conversation turned to the way Grad IV works here at Cornell and why we're organized the way we are. Early on in our discussion I realized that there's much about our group's history, vision and structure that isn't obvious to people who have joined in the past year or two. Since I earnestly believe that someday I'll graduate from Cornell, it seems worthwhile to put into words the process of change and growth we've gone though over the past four years while I'm still around. I apologize for any oversights or errors I've made in sumarizing past events and attitudesI can only speak from my own vantage point. I do welcome comments on anything I've written. I started grad school at Cornell in the Fall of 1990. There was a large undergrad InterVarsity group here, so I got involved and joined a Bible study. I spent some time looking around the Ithaca area for grad-oriented fellowship groups in local churches, but didn't find anything that I really "clicked" with. There were about five grads involved with IV at that time, but most of us were in different Bible studies and didn't have much interaction with each other. My Bible study had several really cool undergrads in it, but I always felt there was only so much they could relate to when I shared some of my frustration over finding an advisor, choosing a research topic and teaching. I don't know, maybe it was also an age difference thing. During the Spring semester I co-led a IV Bible study with Jeff Minch, an undergrad from the Fall semester Bible study.

Extractions: Why is Constructivism Important? Constructivist Teaching and Learning is a summary of a Master's thesis by Audrey Gray, University of Saskatchewan, entitled "'The Road to Knowledge is Always Under Construction': A Life History Journey to Constructivist Teaching". Employing a qualitative research approach and a narrative reporting style, Ms. Gray explores the journey of Pat Gray, a Saskatoon English language arts teacher, towards the development of a constructivist approach to teaching and examines the ways he incorporates ideas and strategies into his teaching practices. The research provides insight into the process of teacher change and development and raises questions about teacher professional development that have implications for the way constructivist and transactional curricula are implemented.

It is organized chronologically, documenting the decades of the 20th century. Each chapter incorporates major themes that defined and impacted on women's lives throughout the century, such as work, education, images of women, political action and women in the home. End of chapter activites and selected resources provide support for using the documents. ISBN 1-896781-20-9 For most of the women in the videos, Canada was unknown, and some came only reluctantly. Many spoke neither English nor French; the customs were alien to them. However, some found unexpected opportunities and unlocked for successes; others met disappointments, prejudice and racism and became discouraged and homesick. No two stories are alike, but common threads run through many of them.
