    The curriculum begins with a message from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and an introductory essay, "The Great Depression: An Overview," written by David C. Wheelock, a research economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis and an expert on the Great Depression.

    Some great lessons. I personally will be using some form of Lesson 2 - What Do People Say? (work with 6 letters written from various people in the 20s of the causes of the G.D.) and Lesson 3.What Really Caused the Great Depression? (create a budget sheet before and after the G.D. and identify tradeoffs made. They have pdf.s available as well as smartboard material.

    Economics focused lessons on the Great Depression. Some use primary source data. Some sources are fictionalized letters.

    This looks like exactly what I was thinking about. I love it when the wheel doesn't have to be completely reinvented!

  • In the year 900, by far the most robust and impressive philosophical tradition was found not in Europe, but in the Middle East. Islamic scholars there had embarked on a wholesale program to recover the traditions of Greek philosophy (particularly the works of Aristotle), translate them into Arabic, and rethink their message in light of the newly revealed teachings of the Qur’an.
  • Eventually, however, the center shifted—first to the western part of the Islamic world in northern Africa and southern Spain, and then north to Christian Europe. What we call the Middle Ages was, in Islam, the great classical era of philosophy and science. After several centuries of flourishing, however, the study of philosophy and science faded in Muslim countries, even while it was being pursued with increasing vigor in the Latin West.
  • Averroës devoted much of his scholarly efforts to a series of commentaries on Aristotle, producing both brief epitomes and exhaustive, line-by-line studies.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Many of his works no longer survive in Arabic at all, but only in Latin or Hebrew
  • like all the great philosophers, Averroës arrived at his share of heterodox views.
  • despite the brilliant development of philosophical thought in the early days of the Islamic caliphate, by the later Middle Ages it and other fields of secular learning were regarded with deep suspicion and given almost no institutional support.
  • By the middle of the thirteenth century, that philosophical curriculum had become thoroughly Aristotelian, and the great guide to Aristotle was none other than Averroës, who became known in the Latin West as simply “the Commentator.”

    Amazing how history has been rewritten, in the past and present, and then when old truths are unearthed, people are so reluctant to believe them. The power of the written word!
