The document discusses the proposed humanities curriculum for grades 6-8 at Shanghai American School, Pudong. It provides an overview of each grade's curriculum, which is organized into themes and incorporates literature studies, films, and other texts. The curriculum is designed to be interdisciplinary and encourage connections between subjects. It aims to develop students' skills and prepare them for an evolving global workforce through authentic learning experiences.
These students spent a week exploring Shanghai and its surroundings. Their brief was to respond digitally to one of 3 essential questions:
1. How does the way space is used within a city impact on the environment?
2. What actions can we, as individuals, take to minimize our carbon footprint?
3. What is the relationship between industry, the environment and sustainable development?
This group chose to focus on 'green work' versus 'green wash' here in Shanghai.
The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) released today 18.august 2009 its assessment of Shanghai's efforts to organize an environmentally-friendly Expo 2010 that aims to benefit not only the 70 million expected visitors but also leave a green legacy for the city's over 20 million residents.
Chen provides an introduction to their city of Shanghai through photos and descriptions. They describe their community, which is located near the city center and has high-rise buildings and an outdoor swimming pool. Photos show the rainy weather and local markets selling breakfast foods. Transportation options like buses, subways, taxis are mentioned. Famous areas like Yu Garden, The Bund, Lujiazui are described along with attractions like Oriental Pearl Tower. The document serves as an initial overview of Shanghai from Chen's perspective and invites the reader to contact them for more details.
The Mumbai Metropolitan Region extends over an area of 4355 sq. km and comprises Municipal Corporations of Greater Mumbai, Thane, Kalyan, Navi Mumbai and Ulhasnagar; 15 municipal towns; 7 non-municipal urban centers; and 995 villages. Its administrative limits cover Mumbai City and Mumbai Suburban Districts, and parts of Thane and Raigad District. There are 40 Planning Authorities in the Region that are responsible for the micro-level planning of the different areas.

The Shame of Child Labour โ 2 - through the lens of Lewis Wickes Hine 1908-1924Yaryalitsa
ย
In 1908 Hine left his teaching position at the progressive Ethical Culture School in New York to become a staff photographer for the National Child Labor Committee. The same year, he described his pictures in a reform journal as "graphic representation of conditions and methods of work, through pictures for exhibits, reports, folders, magazine and newspaper articles, and lantern slides." Over the next decade Hine made thousands of negatives-often undercover-of children working in mills, sweatshops, factories, and various street trades, such as the delivery boy pictured here. Through a steady accumulation of specific, idiosyncratic facts, the photographer hoped to reveal the larger, hidden patterns of exploitation upon which the American city was rapidly expanding. More important, his reports and slide lectures were not meant solely as tools for labor reform but as ways of triggering a more profound, empathetic response in the viewer, one that would cause him to reconsider his relationship to society.

ย
On April 26, 1986, a nuclear disaster occurred at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine, releasing radioactive material and causing the worst nuclear accident in history. The town of Pripyat near the plant was abandoned after the residents were evacuated. In 2009, Swiss photographer Timm Suess visited Pripyat and documented the abandoned buildings and infrastructure, publishing his photos and observations in his Chernobyl Journal. His photos show the eerie decay and reclamation of nature in the ghost town left behind after the residents fled following the nuclear disaster.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
ย
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
