WWW-Virtual Library: History Map History / History of Cartography: THE Gateway to the Subject HOME (main menu) TEACHING menu INDEX complete SITEMAP What the site is ABOUT WHAT'S NEW College and university level courses in the history of cartography (created by Tony Campbell and Mark Cohagen) This page attempts two things: to document what is currently being offered around the world; and, perhaps, to help create a 'virtual community' for teachers of this subject. It can thus serve as a shopping list for those seeking a course to join, while, simultaneously, helping those who are keeping the flame alive to maintain their awareness of teaching trends. The other pages on this 'Map History' site testify to the breadth and vigour of the history of cartography as an academic and recreational subject. Yet the lack of opportunities for formal academic apprenticeship, i.e. university courses, is, if anything, getting worse. A note on the qualifications for inclusion in this listing. Numerous Cartography and GIS courses start with a single lecture on mapping history. In other courses, maps serve a secondary, illustrative function. We hope that those concerned will understand why we have insisted here on a prominent role for non-current maps, though we are delighted to include courses given in any academic discipline.

Primary sources, including maps, a video interview, objects, and other documents, will be examined. Students start by mapping their neighborhood, then organize and compare historical information from maps using diagrams and charts, and, finally, in the role of a park ranger, develop a presentation on the characteristics of Euro-American and American Indian maps. Through this investigation students will come to the deeper understanding that a map tells us a great deal about its maker. Explore Connections to Today for this unit.

On Teaching Focus on Teaching in San Francisco Jason Groth Since its founding in 1907, the OAH has promoted "excellence in the scholarship, teaching, and presentation of American history." The 2005 OAH Annual Meeting is the perfect forum for scholars looking to enhance their professional skills and knowledge of teaching American history. A thread of sessions, focusing on teaching issues at all levels, will run throughout the four days of the meeting in the form of workshops, round tables, panel discussions, and other presentations. These sessions will address the use of primary sources, literature, and electronic media in the history classroom as well as other topics of interest to precollegiate teachers. State-of the-Field sessions, created to illuminate recent developments in specific areas of American history scholarship and teaching, are an excellent resource for all teachers, from precollegiate to university. New to the meeting? Attend our "First-Timer's Session" and learn how to navigate and make the most of the Annual Meeting. In our exhibit hall, find the latest in books, lesson plans, and other teaching materials written specifically for American history teachers. Be sure to drop by the Teacher Hospitality Corner, a space set aside for K-12 teachers to relax, refresh, and meet others, including OAH representatives. Visit with colleagues from all levels of teaching and make new connections at the Regional Receptions on Thursday evening. On Friday, pick one of the ten offsite sessions and see historic locations like Alcatraz and the Presidio, or take the time to explore the Bancroft Library or the Chinese Historical Society. Relax Friday evening with other precollegiate teachers at the Focus on Teaching reception. Saturday begins with the College Board AP breakfast and offers a luncheon for Focus on Teaching attendees, where Bruce Fehn of the University of Iowa will speak on "Privileging the Visual in Teaching American History."

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.

These lessons allow teachers to use historic places to bring the new standards in geography, history, and social studies into their classrooms. PROJECT BACKGROUND During the 1980s and early 1990s, many people interested in saving historic places came to see what was usually called "heritage education" as a way to: (1) use places as lively and challenging resources to enrich teaching and learning for students, (2) help teachers, preservationists, and others to work together in their communities, and, ultimately, (3) encourage and strengthen public commitment to preserving these places. A survey conducted by the National Trust for Historic Preservation in 1990 identified more than 600 heritage education programs.

home center for faulkner studies teaching faulkner Faulkner's Map of Yoknapatawpha: The End of Absalom, Absalom! Faulkner's Map of Yoknapatawpha: The End of Absalom, Absalom! Robert Hamblin Reading Absalom, Absalom! Most critics have interpreted Faulkner's title as an ironic commentary on the Sutpen family history. As John Hagopian has pointed out, the Sutpen narrative parallels the biblical story of David and Absalom in the emphasis on "revolt, incest, and fratricide," but it differs in that Faulkner's David, unlike the biblical one, is unable to feel love and compassion for his rebellious son. Hagopian views this key difference as "the main point of the Sutpen story.3 Just as the biblical allusion of the title extends Sutpen's regional, temporal story into the realms of the universal, the mythic, and the timeless, so too does the map that ends the novel. Like the title, the map functions at three different levels: the realistic, the ironic, and the symbolic. In this connection, however, Faulkner's map, like his title, functions ironically. All of the personal quests in Absalom, Absalom! end in futility and failure. Bon dies, unacknowledged by his father; Sutpen dies, frustrated in his design; Henry dies, outcast and condemned; Quentin will soon die, still troubled and confused about the meaning of existence. Faulkner's map, like the plot of the novel it underscores and supports, is, so far as it is a map of history and the human condition, a map charting failed ambitions and pointing the way to death. Had Faulkner chosen an epigraph for his drawing, it might well have been the quotation from Shakespeare alluded to earlier, the one he used for the title of his second-greatest novel:

CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES FOR USING HISTORICAL MARKERS Historical markers identify and designate a place where something of significance occurred. They are useful in the study of history because they clearly illustrate, "history happened here." Too often, students think of history as something in the long ago past that happened to people with whom they have no connection. Here are some ideas to change that thinking through the use of historical markers in the classroom. A template has been prepared to use in conjunction with several of these activities. Make Your Own Marker Ask the class to write the text for a historical marker for the classroom. Without giving them too many instructions, tell them they can include a physical description of the room, describe its use in the school, how the classroom was important in the life of the school, write about the people who used the classroom, or any information they might know about the "site." The marker text should be limited to a paragraph. Ask students to read aloud their paragraphs or choose several to read aloud. The purpose of this exercise is to get students thinking about historical significance, to connect them with local history, and to teach them how to state things concisely. To conclude the activity, ask students to imagine that someone well-known in the community's history (or suggest some well-known person) attended school and used the same classroom. How would that affect what is written on their marker?
