  • The students' documentary was part of National History Day, a program that more than 600,000 middle and high school students participate in each year.
  • They're going to archives, going to museums, doing real historical research. In the process of all this, they learn history, they learn about their nation's past. They learn important skills they can apply in their careers and in college.
  • We have empirical data that proves without a doubt that kids who participate in History Day outperform their peers who don't.

  • In middle and high school, that's where the loss of instruction time comes.
  • has to be an engaged study of the past.
  • [National History Day] is not just for gifted and talented students; this is a program that does extremely well with kids in the lower quartile.
  • riginal research, you have an opportunity to form your own opinion on a topic. You're looking at original material. They do have to read secondary material so that they can have context. Have you talked to any teachers about how they're discussing the killing of Osama bin Laden with students? What should teachers be saying to their students? What's the importance of recent history in history class? I haven't had the chance to talk to any teachers since [last] Sunday. But I can tell you that what I hope they're doing is helping young people put this in perspective. I hope they're helping students understand the history of terror and understand why 9/11 happened in the first place. You have to understand the history of the Middle East and the history of the United States' role there, so you can draw some meaning and understanding. Using the word understanding doesn't mean condoning; it just means you need to understand why it may have happened. See how your school stacks up in our rankings of Best High Schools.

Herbert Aptheker race revisionist history communism african american modern america

shared by Aaron Palm on 11 Jul 10 - Cached
David Hilton liked it
  • This reader collects fourteen influential essays by Herbert Aptheker (1915–2003) on the African American experience. Written with passion and eloquence, they are full of ideas originally dismissed by a white, segregated academy that have now become part of the scholarly mainstream. Covering topics including slave resistance, black abolitionists, Reconstruction, and W. E. B. Du Bois, these essays demonstrate the critical connection between political commitment and the advancement of scholarship, while restoring Aptheker's central place as one of the founding scholars in the development of African American studies.

shared by Ed Webb on 27 Aug 09 - Cached
  • The issues are complex. Advocates and opponents cast the debate as preservation of the past challenging progress for the future, conservation versus energy, national interests versus minority Kurdish interests, nationalism versus the interests of neighboring countries. The government argues that the dam will bring irrigation and power to the region. Opponents maintain that much of the electricity generated will go to other parts of the country. Iraq has protested vehemently against Turkey damming the Tigris River just upstream and further restricting the water flow across the border. There is also the geopolitical drama of the European partnerships withdrawing and Turkey potentially pursuing other partners such as China and Russia.

  • The original "People to Learn From" page was established when twittering was something that you idly with your fingers. Today, Twitter, an incredibly simple avenue for mass communication, has become, for many educators, the heart of their personal learning network.

  • e du centre historique de la presqu'île disparu quasi intégralement, avec des commentaires audio et/ou des illustrations agrémentant la visite selon le lieu où le visiteur se trouve. La restitution permettra donc de servir de fil conducteur pour présenter des documents d'archive pouvant intéresser le public, gravures, peintures, plans ou autres. Elle permettra également de présenter des articles concernant tel ou tel bâtiment ou secteur de la ville.L'objectif adopté pour la restitution des immeubles disparus est de retrouver à minima le nombre d'étages, d'arcs de boutique et l'emplacement de la porte principale, mais cela n'est pas toujours possible. De vieilles gravures ou même certaines photographies du milieu du 19ème siècle permettent parfois de retrouver l'organisation des fenêtres. La couleur des façades est nécessairement imprécise. Les bâtiments publics ou religieux sont reconstitués à partir de plans et de gravures.Lyon en 1700 est une association régie par la Loi de 1901 et composée de passionnés d'histoire.Tout Lyonnais amateur de recherches en archives ou sur le terrain est bienvenu pour donner un coup de main !

    The origin of "drinking the Koll-Aid." On November 18, 1978, a delegation led by California Congressman Leo Ryan visited the Peoples Temple cult in Jonestown, Guyana, and left the camp with 16 members who wanted to return to the U.S. Cult leader Jim Jones ordered his guards to open fire on Ryan's delegation as they waited to board a plane, killing Ryan & 3 journalists. Jones then ordered his followers to drink a cyanide-spiked drink, leading to the deaths of more than 900 people.
