ENVIRONMENT AND GEOGRAPHY

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.
In one example, a teacher reads an account of the monsoon from the perspective of the people of India. Although elsewhere in the guide, social studies teachers are encouraged to take a less directive and active role in instruction, here the teacher uses direct instruction.
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?

    Advanced Placement: U.S. History

    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 Teacher’s 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.

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?

    Market Myths: The failings of conservative economics
    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?
