Detroit Tour Project - Mrs. Brown's Third Grade Classlrothfeld
Third graders at Hillel Day School of Metropolitan Detroit learn about the city of Detroit through a bus tour and through research. In school, each student researches the significance and history of a specific place in Detroit. Students learn to summarize, take notes, and turn their notes into a well crafted paragraph. Each student then designs a slide in PowerPoint to teach others about the importance of their place. The slides include information from students’ research, from personal knowledge, and from the actual tour of Detroit that the third graders take in the spring.
The work for this project was done in students’ classrooms and in their weekly computer class with Ms. Rothfeld.

As the center of the world's movie and television industries, Los Angeles has earned it's status as the entertainment capital of the world. But, what most people don't know is that LA also has more museums and theaters than any other U.S. city. Visitors will love trying to spot celebrities or visiting the studios and sets of their favorite TV shows and movies, but they can also see world class art and learn about the history of California as far back as prehistoric times. And don't forget - the weather is great and the beaches are perfect.
Here's a few our favorites things to do in Los Angeles:
Battle of Bloody RunNear this site, in late July 1763, the B.docxikirkton
Battle of Bloody Run
Near this site, in late July 1763, the British and Indians fought the fiercest battle of Chief Pontiac's uprising. As Captain James Dalyell led about 260 soldiers across Parent's Creek, the Indians launched a surprise attack which devastated the British. Dalyell and some sixty of his men were killed, and the creek became known as Bloody Run. This battle marked the height of Pontiac's siege of Detroit, a struggle which he was forced to abandon three months later.
Omega Psi Phi
This Victorian structure built in the early 1890s houses the Detroit chapter of the first national Greek letter fraternity established at a Negro University. Omega Psi Phi was founded in 1911 at Howard University in Washington D.C. The Greek letters symbolize the motto "Friendship is essential to the soul." DeWitt T. Burton, Francis Dent and O.T. Davis formed Nu Omega the local chapter in 1923. Fifteen years later Nu Sigma, the undergraduate chapter, began at Wayne State University. Purchased in 1942 by Nu Omega, this house fulfilled the fraternity's initial purpose by creating an association of college men with similar ideals of manhood, scholarship, perseverance and uplift. Many members of this chapter achieved local or national prominence.
William Ferguson Homesite
Wayne State University
Here in the Central High building completed in 1896 was founded in 1917 Detroit Junior College, from which grew a college of liberal arts. It united with other colleges, some begun here and some bearing notable histories in other parts of the city to form a municipal institution, which in 1934 was named Wayne University. The oldest college, that of Medicine, began in 1868. Wayne, with its ten colleges and schools was sustained by the people of Detroit through their Board of Education until 1956 when it became a State University.
William Ferguson, Michigan's first black legislator, lived on this site. Born in 1857 to the family of one of the state's first black doctors, he was educated in Detroit schools. Successful in printing and real estate, he also became a lawyer and in 1889 when he was expelled from Gies' European Hotel Restaurant for refusing to eat in the colored section, he filed suit. Defeated in lower court, he and his lawyer D. Augustus Straker, appealed to the Michigan Supreme Court. In Ferguson v. Gies (1890), the court ruled that separation by race in public places was illegal. The ruling propelled Ferguson to a prominent position in the black community, and he was elected to the Michigan House of Representatives in 1893 and 1895. He died in 1910.

A Collection of Advertisements (Created by Mrs. Radner's 4th Grade Class)lrothfeld
Students began this project by viewing a variety of real print and online advertisements, and explored the use of language, humor, photographs, and design, to gain insight on what makes certain advertising strategies successful. Students then designed their own collection of ads for real and fictitious businesses and products.
Each ad was created as a PowerPoint slide. Students developed skills in creativity, design, and persuasion. They learned and practiced the effective use of text in headlines, text boxes, speaking and thinking bubbles; text effects, Word Art styles, position, and rotation; working with photos, picture effects, cropping, and other modifications; layering objects; inserting and formatting shapes with outlines, fills, and textures; selecting slide design themes; using dark on light and light on dark when working with text, graphics, and backgrounds; visual appeal and strategic placement and emphasis of elements; and much more.
The goals of the project were presented in the authentic context of students being “hired” for a summer internship at an advertising company. They were to prove their skills in the use of technology, creativity, and design in order to be considered for a full-time position.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

10. Come on down to the Sprit of
Detroit, where you’re reminded that
God has a relationship with family!
The Spirit of Detroit is where
everything has SPIRIT!!!!!!!!! It is
right next to the People Mover. It’s
the Spirit of Detroit, or should I say,
“The Jolly Green Giant?” Did you
know it’s called that because of its
color? The Jolly Green Giant is 26
feet high. That’s 26 rulers!
It was shipped at night from Oslo,
Norway. It was a gift and it was
shipped at night so there was no
traffic. Back in 1997 the Red Wings
won the Stanley Cup and people
decorated him with red and white
jerseys and colors!!!
It’s very fascinating! See you there!

15. Museum of African American History
The reason the Museum of African
American History is a great place
to go to is it has more than 30,000
artifacts. With 30,000 artifacts it

Museum of African American
History, like speakers, concerts,
festivals and events. The museum
tells us about African American
history.
