In You & Julia, top chefs share their favorite stories, recipes, kitchen hacks and other food preparation tips that they learned from Julia Child, exploring how her contributions to the culinary world still resonate today. In this episode, see Amy Traverso, co-host of GBH’s Weekends With Yankee, make two versions of Child’s classic French crepes. ‘THE WHISTLEBLOWER’ PODCAST 2 What risks are you willing to take for the truth? That question is at the center of a new five-part GroundTruth Project podcast series called “The Whistleblower: Truth, Dissent and the Legacy of Daniel Ellsberg.” Five decades after he became America’s most famous whistleblower, Ellsberg reveals new chapters of his story through exclusive interviews and previous- ly unseen documents, diaries and audio from his personal archive, revealed through a partnership with the University of Massachusetts Amherst. A one-hour radio version of the series “The Whistleblower” will air on GBH 89.7 in Boston and on New England Public Media starting on Sun (6/13), 50 years to the day when the Pentagon Papers first appeared in The New York Times. WHY RUBY RIDGE MATTERS TODAY 3 For those monitoring far-right extremism, the violent riot at the U.S. Capitol on January 6 was no surprise. It had been brewing since 1992 at the 11-day standoff at Ruby Ridge when federal agents attempted to apprehend self-proclaimed white separatist Randy Weaver, and three people were killed.

When Grandpa tells her he lost his songs when he gave his drum away, Molly goes on a mission to find his drum and return his songs to him. Curriculum: IT Learning Goals: To compare texts and integrate information across multiple textual sources when reading or researching (this could, but need not, lead to writing or developing a presentation).

To use a variety of language, navigational, structural, and graphical text features (like a photograph) to help access (read, listen to, and/or view) or convey (write, speak, and/or present, including visually) meaning (which vary depending upon the type of informational text). Graphical Feature: Photograph. Molly and Tooey examine an old photograph to find clues that help them discover what town the photograph was taken in. Social Studies: Collect and examine photographs of the past and compare with similar, current images. Classify events as belonging to past or present. Molly compares an old photograph to new images of towns in Alaska to discover what town the photograph was taken in. Alaska Native Value: Honoring your elders.
