This document provides examples of how middle school students can find inspiration and symbols of peace through art, music, and current events to create their own works conveying themes of peace. It includes links to the United Nations building, past entries in the Lions Club International Peace Poster competition, and songs like "The Peace Train" by Cat Stevens and "Imagine" by John Lennon that discuss peace through their lyrics and music. The document also defines what a theme is and provides ideas for students to consider when developing their own peace-themed works, such as finding new ways to portray known symbols or addressing current issues.

Electoral College Cloze + Map Math
The document provides information about how the US presidential election process works through the electoral college system. It explains that citizens vote for presidential candidates in their state, though the candidate who wins the national popular vote may not win the presidency if they do not receive a majority of electoral votes, which are allotted to states based on their representation in Congress. It also notes that a few states in history have seen the candidate lose the national popular vote but win the electoral college vote and hence the presidency.
Road rage, art, children welfare
Road rage is defined as aggressive or threatening behavior by drivers, which can include gestures, insults, unsafe driving, and threats of violence. This behavior stems from general aggressive driving like tailgating or cutting others off, as well as chasing other vehicles, honking excessively, yelling at other drivers, or threatening them with weapons. Road rage can escalate to physical fights and attacks that result in injuries or deaths.

Creating Competency Models
This document discusses competency models and how to create them. It explains that competency models define the key knowledge, skills, and attributes needed for roles at the core, job, and company level. It recommends using a research-based competency library as a foundation and provides examples of competency types. The document stresses that competency models help organizations develop learning plans by identifying skill gaps, aligning learning with business needs, and assessing performance. It concludes by connecting competency models to a learning organization's overall learning and development services.
Competency model
The document discusses competency models, which are clusters of knowledge, skills, abilities, behaviors, and attitudes related to job success. It outlines different approaches for developing competency models, including universal, functional, job-specific, and multiple job models. The document also discusses how competency models can be used for human resource processes like recruitment, selection, performance management, and career development.
Art for Social Change
The document discusses how art can be used as a tool for social change and highlights several arts-based social justice programs. It introduces The Memory Project, started by Ben Shumacher to provide portraits of children facing challenges. Since 2004 they have created over 130,000 portraits for children in 47 countries. It also describes Pinwheels for Peace, started by two art teachers to have students make and share paper pinwheels on International Peace Day. The document invites readers to explore these and other social justice art projects and encourages using art to take students' learning beyond the classroom.

The Function of Music in Society-Media Smarts
This lesson examines how music reflects and influences societies. Students will explore different functions of music, such as personal expression, communication, and selling products. They will discuss how music can represent historical events or groups of people. As a activity, students will work in groups to create musical collages based on the functions of music. An extension activity challenges students to analyze songs that critique the media.
A deeper-rap
Hip hop and rap music have flourished despite negative perceptions and can have a large impact on youth. These genres speak to adolescent's meaning-making, identity formation, and sense of place. They address struggles with oppression, religion, and dreams. While some view the genres as detrimental, music plays an important role in adolescent development by satisfying social, emotional, and developmental needs. Spirituality, though subjective, forms how adolescents make sense of themselves and the world.

Using the Arts and New Media
in Community Organizing and
Community Building
An Overview and Case Study from
Post-Katrina New Orleans

M E R E D I T H M I N K L E R
Community organizing allows people who share a particular geographic space
or identity to find shared issues and goals, as well as the resources they can use
collectively to achieve those goals (see chapter 1). This definition is intentionally
broad, as the processes, efforts, communities, and goals that constitute organizing
techniques are diverse.
The arts, including literature, music, video, painting, photography, and other
forms of artistic expression, are powerful tools for community organizing in health
and related areas (McDonald et al. 2006–2007; Chávez et al. 2004; Catalani and
Minkler 2010). They can draw attention to an issue, offer catharsis for a commu-
nity after a crisis, pull communities together to create art, and communicate
across cultural and language barriers. As Vivian Chávez and her colleagues (2004)
note, “The cultural diversity, personal sensitivity, and passion that characterize
some of the arts resonate with some key principles and commitments of health
promotion” (396), including the fostering of high-level community participation
and building on community and individuals’ strengths.
In this chapter, the authors draw on diverse examples to illustrate how the
arts have served as vehicles for change, to highlight their legacy in social move-
ments nationally and globally, and to point out the theoretical basis of their use in
community organizing and community building. Brief examples describe how the
arts have been used to foster community organizing for health; this is followed
by a discussion of two increasingly popular visual methodologies—photovoice
and videovoice—which enable individuals to get behind still cameras and video

Arts in peacebuilding 2
The document discusses how art plays a central role in peacebuilding and maintaining peace. It will present analysis of two art projects from a peacebuilding summer program, focusing on how art communicates through multiple senses, accesses emotions, and encourages expression. Art is presented as a pillar of peace alongside other areas like economy, justice, and equality. Examples are given of different art forms that can foster peace, bring people together, and give voice to stories. The presence of art in a community is said to indicate its health, while a lack of art may suggest underlying issues preventing creative expression.
PortraitofAmerica
This document provides information about Portrait of America, a public art exhibition project by photographer Joe Standart. The project features large-scale portraits displayed across various cities, with the goal of celebrating community and promoting understanding. It summarizes the first exhibition in New London, Connecticut, transforming the city into an outdoor gallery. Future exhibitions are planned for Detroit, Hartford, Minneapolis, New Orleans, and Santa Barbara. The portraits depict a diverse range of individuals and aim to honor human dignity. The project brings art and community development together to enrich cultural experiences and public spaces.

This document discusses how art served as a form of expression and motivation during times of oppression in the Arab world. It provides three key points:
1. Art reflected the suffering of Arab generations who endured long years of waiting under dictatorships for freedom and historic change. Figures like Ahmed from Tunisia, who said "we've grown old waiting," became symbols of this frustration.
2. Art both expressed the problems under repression, and motivated aspirations for unity and a better future. Performances and songs called for issues like Arab unity.
3. However, dictators tightly controlled art to prevent any criticism or encouragement of dissent. Intelligence agencies monitored artists and changed or censored their works. As a result,

This document discusses how art served as a form of expression and motivation during times of oppression in the Arab world. It provides three key points:
1. Art reflected the suffering and frustration of Arab generations during the "years of waiting" under dictatorships for freedom and historic change. Iconic figures like Ahmed from Tunisia embodied this patience through symbols like saying "Hermna" (we have grown old).
2. Art motivated aspirations for freedom and unity, as seen in plays calling for Arab unity. It also encouraged ambition for the future despite fear that prevented direct suggestions for change.
3. Under dictatorships, art was controlled and censored by intelligence agencies. It was forced to serve the rulers and
Designing Specific Projects Through Interdisciplinary Collaboration
The document discusses the benefits of interdisciplinary collaboration in art projects. It provides examples throughout history where combining different art forms like music, dance, theater, and visual arts helped communicate ideas more effectively. Specifically, it discusses how indigenous tribes like the Blackfoot and Kainai used various cultural elements together in ceremonies and storytelling. More modern examples of interdisciplinary projects that achieved widespread success include Pink Floyd's album and stage production "The Wall" as well as the band Gwar's performances. The document argues that group collaboration allows artists to play off each other's strengths and better engage audiences than individual works.
Delivering the Speech of Information
This document provides guidance on delivering an informative speech by outlining the key elements to consider when preparing such a speech. It recommends identifying the goal of the speech as clarifying a complex issue, increasing knowledge on a subject, demonstrating something useful, or showing relationships between concepts. It then provides examples of topics for each goal and discusses techniques to engage the audience like generating "information hunger" through questions or statements, using storytelling, defining terms, and demonstrating concepts without causing information overload. The document stresses the importance of anticipating the behavioral purpose of the speech and engaging the audience through clear organization and presentation of content.

Hip hop and rap music have flourished despite negative perceptions and can have a large impact on youth. These genres speak to adolescent's meaning-making, identity formation, and sense of place. They address struggles with oppression, religion, and dreams.

The introduction outlines the unique origins and mission of the NEA compared to previous federal arts initiatives.

Using the Arts and New Media
in Community Organizing and
Community Building
An Overview and Case Study from
Post-Katrina New Orleans

M E R E D I T H M I N K L E R
Community organizing allows people who share a particular geographic space
or identity to find shared issues and goals, as well as the resources they can use
collectively to achieve those goals (see chapter 1). This definition is intentionally
broad, as the processes, efforts, communities, and goals that constitute organizing
techniques are diverse.
The arts, including literature, music, video, painting, photography, and other
forms of artistic expression, are powerful tools for community organizing in health
and related areas (McDonald et al. 2006–2007; Chávez et al. 2004; Catalani and
Minkler 2010). They can draw attention to an issue, offer catharsis for a commu-
nity after a crisis, pull communities together to create art, and communicate
across cultural and language barriers. As Vivian Chávez and her colleagues (2004)
note, “The cultural diversity, personal sensitivity, and passion that characterize
some of the arts resonate with some key principles and commitments of health
promotion” (396), including the fostering of high-level community participation
and building on community and individuals’ strengths.
In this chapter, the authors draw on diverse examples to illustrate how the
arts have served as vehicles for change, to highlight their legacy in social move-
ments nationally and globally, and to point out the theoretical basis of their use in
community organizing and community building. Brief examples describe how the
arts have been used to foster community organizing for health; this is followed
by a discussion of two increasingly popular visual methodologies—photovoice
and videovoice—which enable individuals to get behind still cameras and video

Arts in peacebuilding 2
The document discusses how art plays a central role in peacebuilding and maintaining peace. It will present analysis of two art projects from a peacebuilding summer program, focusing on how art communicates through multiple senses, accesses emotions, and encourages expression. Art is presented as a pillar of peace alongside other areas like economy, justice, and equality. Examples are given of different art forms that can foster peace, bring people together, and give voice to stories. The presence of art in a community is said to indicate its health, while a lack of art may suggest underlying issues preventing creative expression.
PortraitofAmerica

It summarizes the first exhibition in New London, Connecticut, transforming the city into an outdoor gallery. Future exhibitions are planned for Detroit, Hartford, Minneapolis, New Orleans, and Santa Barbara. The portraits depict a diverse range of individuals and aim to honor human dignity. The project brings art and community development together to enrich cultural experiences and public spaces.

This document discusses how art served as a form of expression and motivation during times of oppression in the Arab world. It provides three key points:
1. Art reflected the suffering of Arab generations who endured long years of waiting under dictatorships for freedom and historic change. Figures like Ahmed from Tunisia, who said "we've grown old waiting," became symbols of this frustration.
2. Art both expressed the problems under repression, and motivated aspirations for unity and a better future. Performances and songs called for issues like Arab unity.
3. However, dictators tightly controlled art to prevent any criticism or encouragement of dissent. Intelligence agencies monitored artists and changed or censored their works. As a result,

This document discusses how art served as a form of expression and motivation during times of oppression in the Arab world. It provides three key points:
1. Art reflected the suffering and frustration of Arab generations during the "years of waiting" under dictatorships for freedom and historic change. Iconic figures like Ahmed from Tunisia embodied this patience through symbols like saying "Hermna" (we have grown old).
2. Art motivated aspirations for freedom and unity, as seen in plays calling for Arab unity. It also encouraged ambition for the future despite fear that prevented direct suggestions for change.
3. Under dictatorships, art was controlled and censored by intelligence agencies. It was forced to serve the rulers and
Designing Specific Projects Through Interdisciplinary Collaboration
The document discusses the benefits of interdisciplinary collaboration in art projects. It provides examples throughout history where combining different art forms like music, dance, theater, and visual arts helped communicate ideas more effectively. Specifically, it discusses how indigenous tribes like the Blackfoot and Kainai used various cultural elements together in ceremonies and storytelling. More modern examples of interdisciplinary projects that achieved widespread success include Pink Floyd's album and stage production "The Wall" as well as the band Gwar's performances. The document argues that group collaboration allows artists to play off each other's strengths and better engage audiences than individual works.

Benefits of Project-Based Learning
Dawn Bartz is a project manager and theme coach who focuses on implementing project-based learning. Her research shows that project-based learning engages students by presenting real-world problems for them to solve through research and developing original responses, rather than memorizing abstract facts. It builds on the theories of educational pioneers who found that students learn best through hands-on experiences that connect classroom concepts to the real world. By requiring students to gather information through inquiry and create solutions, project-based learning prepares them for challenges in their future careers while giving them ownership over their work.

Using persia +gt to promote historical inquiry in middle school
This presentation provides an easy guide to use the PERSIA+GT model to teach historical inquiry to middle school students.
Historical inquiry
The process of conducting historical inquiry involves 4 main steps: 1) researching primary and secondary sources to focus investigative questions, 2) analyzing sources by considering their literal meaning, point of view, and historical context, 3) making an interpretation by comparing different evidence, and 4) undergoing peer review to ensure the explanation is convincing and supported by evidence. These steps apply whether using a traditional research process or the PERSIA + GT model.
The research process
This is a great reference for highlighting the importance of the writing process when teaching middle school students how to write a research paper.
