This document discusses state standards related to interpreting history from multiple perspectives using primary sources. Specifically, it focuses on:
1) Interpreting the past using a variety of sources like biographies, diaries, interviews, and artifacts and evaluating the credibility of sources.
2) Explaining how and why historical events can be interpreted differently depending on the perspectives of participants, witnesses, reporters, and historians.
3) Analyzing primary source quotes from immigrants describing why they left their home countries in Europe and Asia for Marathon County, Wisconsin, and their initial reactions to the land and challenges of settling in a new place and culture.

The I rony of Being American
. Michi Itami
I am an artist of Japanese American heritage (third generation) who expe-
rienced internment, as did many Japanese-Americans during World War II,
and who teaches at the City College of New York ofthe City University of
New York, perhaps the most culturally diverse university in the United States.
The makeup of the student body of the City College of New York incorpo-
rates fifty-two language groups, and many of the students are the first col-
lege-graduates-to-be in their respective families. The experience of teaching
there is incredibly enriching, and I appreciate what I am learning from my
students at the same time that I am teaching them printmaking and art. I
am director of the Graduate Studio Program as well.
I feel obliged to first tell you about my experiences and evolution as an
artist. In the past, my own work had been largely abstract. The tone and
ambience of the work was largely Japanese. I say this because the Japanese
in the past have eschewed direct representations of nature and usually have
represented their visions of nature in stylized and abstracted ways. A mov-
ing phenomenon, such as a wave in the ocean existing in time and in con-
stant motion, is better represented in abstract form.
In 1989, I got involved with computers and this has influenced the cur-
rent direction in my artwork. I began to realize that one could make art
from anything. The artist is no longer curtailed by one's drawing or repre-
sentational skills. In addition, above all else, the issue of what is relevant
to you became most important. My father left me a treasure trove of photo-
graphs from his past and his family. I had used them before in photo-etchings,
but the size and scope was limited. I felt compelled to tell his story visually.
In fact, when the government informed me that I was to receive a "redress"
payment for being interned during World War II, I was at first quite am-
bivalent and upset. But when I thought of making a piece about my father
and about our being interned at Manzanar, one of the largest internment
camps located on wasteland near Bishop, California, I accepted the money
with the intention of making these pieces. I bought a high-end computer

with part of the money and used it to create art related to the experience.
In one of the pieces, I placed the letter from President George Bush that
accompanied the redress payment next to the piece and called it The Irony
of Being American (Figure 3.1).
The Irony, as it is nicknamed, includes three views of my father-one at
sixteen years of age in Japanese dress, one at twenty-three in a double-
breasted suit, and one at twenty-seven in his U.S. Army uniform-superim-
posed transparently over the background of Manzanar. The photograph of
Manzanar was taken by Ansel ...

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

7. “My mother came over from Berlin, Germany with her
parents and they located in the Town of McMillan
where my grandfather started a farm. My grandfather
was a soldier in Kaiser Wilhelm’s army before they
came over here. The reason they came from Germany
was on account of the oppression of the people. They
didn’t have a very good living there anymore, so they
were looking for a new country to settle in.”
-Harry Metzke
8. Imagine moving to another country with a new
language, would you feel the same way?
“Then they say we got the sponsorship
papers back from the United States. [I
was] really happy and really sad at the
same time. The part that I’m glad – I had
a chance to go to the United States. I get
out of communist hands, but sad, yes I
was sad, I had to leave Asia and go to
another country and start a new life in
another country. What should I do? How
do I survive? Two different things happen
at one time made me happy and sad at
the same time. I’m really glad that I did
the right thing.”
–Tong Xeng Thao

neat and clean and raked
up and planted and here
we saw nothing but

had been burned and so
black. My mother kept
shaking her head and

know what we’re getting
into.”

11. “He migrated from Switzerland. They came in a sailboat.
Eventually there was land to be homesteaded in the
Rib Mountain area. So my great grandfather came up
here in a covered wagon from New Glarus and my
grandfather said he walked behind the wagon all the
way up here. They homesteaded a quarter section of
land just the other side of Rib Mountain.”
-Myron Rhyner
Would you walk miles every day to get to your
destination?
12. “I remember that the Germans and the French didn’t get
along too good together. My mother never liked the
German people, I don’t know why. But I married a
German girl.”

14. Why did immigrants leave countries in Europe and
Asia?
Why did the immigrants come to Marathon County?
How do you think immigrants reacted to the land once
they arrived in Marathon County? Why?
Why would people continue to come to this land after
they found out the truth? Would you still come?
How would people like Kickbusch and Rietbrock
benefit from bringing large groups to Marathon
County?
Editor's Notes
Why the rush to leave communism?
Why would people continue to come to Marathon County once they found out the truth?
Kickbusch is the red star and line. Rietbrock is the green star and line.
