Camille Pissarro, an Impressionist painter, took Cezanne under his wing and taught him to paint outdoors, lighten his palette, and not use black as a color. Cezanne considered Pissarro his only real art teacher, but he was not satisfied with simply imitating Pissarro and wanted to find the essence of what he was painting by removing details and focusing on color and shapes like cubes, cones, and spheres. Because of this approach, Cezanne is now considered the father of modern art.
The document discusses UNESCO's World Heritage Committee which was created in 1972 to protect cultural and natural heritage sites around the world.

It references Owens winning 4 gold medals and setting a new Olympic record in the long jump. It also mentions that Owens became friends with his German rival Lutz Long, despite facing prejudice from Hitler for his race. The document is presented as a crossword puzzle and reviews some of the key details around Owens' Olympic victories and the historical context of the 1936 games held in Berlin under Hitler's leadership in Germany.
The document discusses the use of green materials in building construction to help save forests. It notes that bamboo grows much faster than trees and can be used instead of wood for floors. Other green materials mentioned include using newspaper for ceiling tiles, recycled glass for bathroom floors, and recycled plastic milk containers for walls. The document advocates using more bamboo and recycled materials in building to help reduce deforestation and meet construction needs in a sustainable way.
The document provides instructions for an activity where students will work in teams to fill in words in different categories on a piece of paper that is passed between teams. When all the teams have filled in their words, the last student will give the paper to the teacher. The faster the teams complete the activity, the better.

Timbuktu is a town located in the independent country of Mali in West Africa along the Niger River. It was once an important center of learning and trade, home to historic mosques and universities with thousands of students. While now remote and poor, Timbuktu works to preserve priceless historical documents and attracts visitors interested in its cultural heritage.
The document describes pictures and paintings that were judged by experts to be the best in the world. It lists the pictures and paintings in order from 10th to 1st place based on the expert judges' rankings. It also discusses a town called Timbuktu, describing how it was once an intellectual center but became poorer when its rulers were killed and universities closed. It provides background on French explorer Rene Caillie, who disguised himself and was the first to visit Timbuktu and return alive in 1828, finding it a poor town but with strong intellectual life.
The document describes a memory test where participants were shown images for 10 or 13 seconds and then asked recall questions about the images. It then provides a lesson about the historic city of Timbuktu in Mali, Africa. It states that Timbuktu was an important center of learning and culture from the 12th to 16th centuries under King Mansa Moussa, who built mosques and universities there. It describes Timbuktu's role in gold and salt trade and as a hub of Islamic learning with over 25,000 students at its Sankore University.
This document contains three passages about the location of Timbuktu.
[1] Timbuktu is used as a metaphor to refer to any remote location far from ordinary places. People may say they had to search from here to Timbuktu to find something.
[2] Timbuktu is a real place, specifically the country of Mali in Western Africa along the Sahara desert near the Niger River.
[3] Timbuktu lives up to its reputation as a remote location, being far from other towns or cities in Mali today.
The document discusses green building materials and technologies. It provides examples of how old tires packed with dirt were used to build a women's cultural center in New Mexico [1].

Slowly but steadily, buildings are becoming more environmentally friendly and sustainable in how they are constructed and operate [3].
The document discusses green building materials that can be used instead of traditional wood products to help save forests. Some green materials mentioned include bamboo, which grows much faster than trees and can be used for floors instead of wood, newspaper used for ceiling tiles, and recycled glass and plastic used for bathroom floors and walls. Bamboo is actually a grass, not a tree, and grows back quickly after being cut. Using more sustainable materials like these in construction can help reduce deforestation and meet demand for building products.
The document describes several riddles and passages about rooftop gardens and green buildings. It explains that rooftop gardens help keep buildings cooler in summer and warmer in winter by blocking heat from the sun and retaining heat.
