Extractions: ECONOMICS The National Council for the Social Studies identifies 10 themes in social studies. The one that relates to Geography (III) is called "People, Places and Environment." The guide further provides eleven "Performance Expectations" in this area and gives three examples of how a lesson might be constructed to achieve some of these objectives. Would it be more interesting to the students to contact another student in India during the monsoon season and obtain a variety of reactions/description of the impact on the people from an Indian viewpoint? Would it be more meaningful, challenging? Would the results be more likely to be "integrated" and would the student be more likely to feel he/she is an active participant in the educational process?

Extractions: The Smithsonian Institution created a site for A.P. History students and teachers focusing on the use of artifacts in understanding history. Artifacts tell stories, connect people, capture moments, and reflect changes. Two themes are presented: the Nation Expanding and Consumerism. There are essay questions, artifacts, and documents for students to consider. The Teachers Guide has student handouts and guides for teaching how to study and learn from artifacts. Ask your parents if they had any of the lunchboxes on display in the consumerism section and be sure to check out the Barbie pages. Whether or not you know what you want to do when you graduate from high school or college, this site has lots of useful information about careers, skills required for specific jobs, occupational outlook, wages and trends, and career tools you will want to investigate. Several videos describe occupations for people choosing non-traditional careers, apprenticeships, jobs requiring two year degrees, or working outside. There are also over 400 captioned video clips related to a wide variety of careers. Videos are available in Windows Media Player and Real Player. Career tools relate to financial aid, scholarships, writing a resume, and a skills profiler. This Smithsonian exhibit covers sweat shops in the United States from 1820 to 1995 when a sweat shop was raided in El Monte, California and released 72 Thai nationals who were held in virtual slavery in horrid conditions. Click on each image within the three History exhibits: The Seamstress, Tenement Sweatshops, and The Resurgence of Sweatshops for details.

Extractions: Work with students to help them prepare a 10- to 15-minute newscast focused on the challenges women face in Nigeria when seeking an education, employment and legal protections. The newscast should include narrative pieces, one or two mock interviews, and an editorial. Care should be taken to provide "viewers" with background on Nigeria and on issues presented in the stories. For example, how does Nigeria's oil industry influence the country's economy? What role does religion play in the position of women in Nigerian society and in overall relations between the northern and southern parts of the country?

Extractions: Respond to this Article March 2001 A review of: Selling the Free Market by J. Aune; One Market Under God by T. Frank; and After Progress by N. Birnbaum By James K. Galbraith When Ronald Reagan took office in 1981, two books captured the ideological upheaval of the day: George Gilder's Wealth and Poverty and Jude Wanniski's How the World Works. At the time, many who opposed Reagan treated Gilder and Wanniski with derision, but we underestimated them. Truly, the country's cultural landscape was changing. Socialism, social democracy, social welfare, the social contract, and Social Security were sliding toward disrepute. Henceforward, the market-alone-would rule. Today, George W. Bush holds the White House, with a palace guard of corporate officers from oil, drugs, aerospace, and mining. Globalization has spawned a "cult of impotence,"in Linda McQuaig's fine phrase, whose high priest is Thomas Friedman of The New York Times. The number four bestseller on Amazon.com is a fable about mice, mazes, and accepting impotence called Who Moved My Cheese?
