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

Bear Hunt

2. We’re all going on a Bear Hunt
Read the song in Appendix A
Beat out the rhythm together.
Can you come up with another rhythm?
Can you think of another tune for the song?
Use instruments to experiment with different rhythms.
Make instruments or beat out the rhythm using different parts of your body or by clapping,
clicking or stamping.
Use the song as a call response exercise. The class can repeat after the teacher for example:
Teacher: ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’
Class: ‘We’re going on a Bear Hunt’
Teacher: ‘We’re not scared’
Class: ‘We’re not scared’
Experiment with different ways of saying the lines. Say the lines loudly, softly, quickly,
slowly. Change your voice so that you’re happy, sad, angry, excited, scared.
In the play and in the song we go through
Long grass
Mud
A River
A forest
A Snowstorm
What else can we go through?

3. Can we think of some other things we might come across on our journey?
What sounds would we make when we go through these? Think of other sound
effects we can make and the different words we would use to describe the things
we come across. For example in the play they say ‘thick oozy mud’ and ‘long wavy grass’.
Can we think of two words to describe the things we come across along the way.
Soundscapes
Think of sounds we hear when…
we wake up in the morning and are lying in bed?
when we go outside into the street?
when we are at school?
when we go for a walk in the country?
if we went into the forest?
if we got caught in the snowstorm?
if we went into a cave?
Try and create these sounds with your voices as a class, so that it feels as if we are really
there.
Orchestra Game
Create three sounds that you would like to work with from the story for example squelch
squelch, hoohoo and swish, swish.
Think of an action that goes well with the sound for example stamping though mud for
squelch squelch, or waving your arms from side to side for swish swish.
Each child chooses or is given a sound and action to work with. Children should split into
groups so that each group makes the same sound and does the same action. Children can
take turns to be the conductor of the orchestra and when they point at a group the group
makes the relevant sound.
Older children can make up their own sound effects and do not necessarily have to be in
groups. You can also experiment with volume in this game, seeing how loudly or how softly
you can create the sound effect. Older children can also work towards making some kind of
rhythm when they are conducting the orchestra.

4. Concentration Game
Each child comes up with a sound effect and an action. Go round the circle trying to learn
everyone’s sound and action. Child A starts by demonstrating their sound and action and
then does the sound and action of the child they want to pass the turn on to. This child then
responds by doing their own sound and action and then does the sound and action of the
next child they would like to pass the turn on to.
Imagine you’re going on a Bear Hunt!
If you were going on a Bear Hunt what type of things would you need to take with you on
your adventure?
Draw or find pictures of the different things you would need to take with you…
Will you get hungry? What will the weather be like? Do we need a tent? Good shoes?
Create a collage of all the things you would need if you were going on a Bear Hunt.
Memory Game
Sit in a circle. The first child starts and says I’m going on a bear hunt and I need to take a
hat. The next person then says ‘I’m going on a bear hunt and I need to take a hat (and then
adds in their own item), a banana. So then the next person in the circle would say I’m going
on a bear hunt and I need to take a hat, a banana and a towel. It carries on like this until the
last child in the circle has to repeat every item that has been mentioned
Create a Bear Shadow Puppet
In the story the family go into a cave where they think they see A BEAR! Create your own
Bear Puppet by following the instructions below. Use the Bear template in Appendix B
You will need: felt tips, crayons , coloured pencils, scissors, a torch.
1) Colour in the picture of the bear with crayons, coloured pencils or felt-tips
2) Cut along the outside of the bear
3) Cut out the inside of the two holes at the bottom of the bear. These will be to put
your fingers through and your fingers will act as the bear’s legs.
4) You can make a bear shadow puppet by shining a torch behind the bear. Focus the
torch onto a blank wall (make sure there are no paintings or pictures hanging up on
the wall). By moving the bear puppet close to the torch you should be able to make
the bear’s shadow bigger and by moving the bear away from the torch you should
be able to make the bear’s shadow smaller.
