It presents five discussion topics: 1) editorial intervention in interpreting someone's life, 2) Rebecca Skloot as a narrator, 3) the role of spirituality, 4) the relationship between Deborah and Rebecca, and 5) the role of health care in American identity. For each topic, it poses discussion questions and suggests related pedagogical activities for students.
Sample Exam Questions (Spring 2013)
This document contains 7 potential exam questions for a literature course covering American culture from 1865-2000. The questions address several themes:
1. How disenfranchised groups in America negotiate assimilating into mainstream culture by letting some cultural aspects go while maintaining others, as demonstrated in literature.
2. The role of geography and the environment in shaping American identity and regional cultures, and how literature represents how changes to the American landscape have impacted national identity.
3. How the meaning of "the American Dream" has changed over the studied time period and how students can speculate on what it may be in the future based on course readings.
4. Why migration within the US is a prominent theme in literature
HeLa Discussion Questions (Spring 2013)
This document contains discussion questions about the book "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" for a literature class. There are 7 questions that prompt students to analyze themes in the book like individualism, the inclusion of the author as a character, how narratives are imposed on real people's lives, the role of spirituality, poetry as self-expression, relationships between characters, and the future role of healthcare in American identity. The questions compare concepts in the book to other works studied over the semester.
HeLa Pedagogy Exercise (Spring 2013)
The document discusses a pedagogy exercise for a class on the immortal life of Henrietta Lacks. Students are asked to trade discussion questions with another group and brainstorm how they would answer the questions and teach the answers to their peers. They are then to write an outline for a learning activity that would help teach the answers, considering how the classroom would be organized, what students and teachers would be doing, if any tools or multimedia would be used, if new skills need to be learned, and how long it would take. The activity is also to explain what the book teaches about American identity.
Vietnam Conversations (Spring 2013)
This document provides instructions for a small group activity where students will discuss America's war in Vietnam. The activity involves three steps: 1) Students write discussion questions about the film "Sir! No, Sir!" 2) Questions are collected and traded between groups to select one to discuss 3) Groups imagine and write a dialogue between characters from the readings and film to debate the chosen discussion question.

What is the Beast? What is the Jungle? (Spring 2013)
The beast represents John Marcher's secret - likely his repressed homosexuality. The jungle represents the restrictive society he lives in or the tangled confusion within his own mind caused by hiding his secret. Unable to accept himself, Marcher remains lost in the jungle of his own making, isolated from true human connection by the beast he refuses to confront.
Harlem Renaissance (Revised Spring 2013)
Prior to 1920, Harlem saw waves of African American migration as many fled the post-Civil War South. By 1920, over 150,000 black people lived in New York City, with Harlem becoming the center of black life and culture. Segregation and discrimination were still rampant, and tensions arose between recent southern migrants and Caribbean immigrants who had been in Harlem longer. The 1920s saw the flourishing of black arts and intellectual life in Harlem as residents celebrated their heritage and agitated for social change and equality.
Reconstruction: Key Facts (Revised Spring 2013)
The document summarizes 6 key facts about the Reconstruction era after the American Civil War. It discusses that Southern states reentered the Union on a case-by-case basis. President Andrew Johnson was impeached for obstructing civil rights legislation. Conservative resurgence in the South in the 1870s was aided by declining agricultural profits and national interest after 1868 elections. The 1870s also saw increasingly conservative politics and growing racial intimidation. Restrictive new Southern state governments in the 1870s-1880s curtailed social services and rights for African Americans. By 1896, segregation was already institutionally established in American law and culture when the Supreme Court ruled on Plessy v. Ferguson.
Alexie Equations Exercise (Fall 2012)
The document contains equations written by students analyzing stories from Sherman Alexie's book "The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven". The equations explore themes such as anger, imagination, frustration with the past, nostalgia, spirituality, tradition, hallucinations, rituals, culture, the aftermath of colonization, change, memories, the present, unification of the future, and connecting to one's past and culture. The students were asked to write equations that explained the meanings and themes behind Alexie's stories.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

21st Century Research Part 1 (Summer 2012)
- 2. Search Engines and Filter Bubbles Note-taking Exercise: • Jot down each big idea from the video in your notes, in sequence • At the end of the video, circle what you think is the most important idea presented here
- 3. What is an “academic” source? An academic source is… Authoritative: the author’s expertise and qualifications are clear Sourced: the ideas of others are carefully cited; there is a bibliography/works cited Peer-reviewed: checked by other academics for accuracy. The publisher should have a formal review process Objective: seeks to present information fairly Written for other academics, not for a lay audience
- 4. Academic Sources are often… • Journals and journal articles • Books (print and e-books) from scholarly publishers • Published reports • Certain web sites (e-journals, especially in science, and web sites set up by professional organizations)
- 5. Evaluating Online Sources Credibility: Low High Source, credentials, quality control, authority, organizational support Quality Quality Highly Highly Accuracy: Reliable Reliable Factual, up-to-date, exact, comprehensive Reasonableness: Low High Objective, balanced, no conflicts of interest Quality Quality Support: Less Less Reliable Reliable Sources listed, documentation and corroboration available
- 6. Use Wikipedia well… Know its structure Look for citations Know a page’s edit history. References, External Links, Is it contentious? Is it up-to- “See Also” date? Use the article as a launch Use Wikipedia’s overall pad to better research content structure, including Lists and Portals, to Remember that by default, understand its scope Wikipedia fails the “academic source” test
- 7. Active Web Research There is plenty of useful research information on the open, general web. The trick is knowing how to look for it! Example: Amazon.com • Inside This Book: more than just your table of contents! • Solid customer reviews • Citations—place this book within its scholarly context
