ABSTRACT A unit is described in which fourth and eighth graders in Peoria, Illinois, gained understanding of the world through careful and critical reading of their local daily newspaper. The focus was on news about local international involvement. The teachers who developed the unit believe that study of local newspapers enriches information about the world and that articles about community ties to the world provide a springboard for research that enlivens international studies and relates the local scene to a world picture. In a particular Sunday paper, students identified articles about a typhoon in Japan, oil investors, closing of the post exchange in Turkey, and European-bred cattle which won awards at the Illinois State Fair. Students looked up relevant information about each country and learned how each foreign event could influence life in Peoria. Specific activities and discussion questions are provided, based on articles about sports, industry, agriculture, culture, immigrants, science, government, careers, population, and education. All activities and discussion questions can be used in the study of any community. (AV)

Rebels Hijack On The Inside This newspaper unit is a beginning In an effort to help students better understand the world through the hatit of careful and critical reading of their local daily newspaper, particularly the news about local international involvement.

Most residents of Central Illinois, especially those in the metropolitan area of Peoria (approx. 300,000), would be surprised to know how close they are to the mainstream of international life because of the products they produce and the people involved. Even fewer residents in the United States would recognize the importance of Central Illinois in making Illinois the leading exporter among U.S. states.

Many of the students in our classrooms today will have jobs in

Central Illinois and other parts of the country that will call for knowledge of the ties that exist between nations. Their opportunities for travel and work abroad in the future will be even more numerous than they are today, but their textbooks may still continue to offer stereo- types about other countries and present out-dated world information.

The teachers who developed this unit are convinced that the study of local newspapers can up-date and enrich information about the world. It is only in local newspapers that the day-to-day printed record of life in a community appears, and the ties of the community to the world are there for the reading, clipping, study and discussion with students. They can be used as the springboard for individual or student group research that will make international studies come alive and provide an understanding of where, in our case, Central Illinois fits into the world picture. 2.

The clippings in this reprint were accumulated for tilt most part during the summer of 1975. Teachers using the unit will want to collect and save their own news and feature stories that tell, from a local point of interest, how their community is involved in the world.

The three teachers who developed the materials which follow are experienced in the use of the newspaper in their classes. Kay Bennett and Meredith DeGood, both eighth grade teachers in Peoria public schools, give student activities in the areas of: sports, industry, agriculture, culture, immigrants, science and government.Jen Smith, a fourth grade teacher in Morton, a community nearby Peoria, focuses her students on the subjects of: population, communication, transportation, education and interdependence.

In addition, such activities as axpert notebooks, career letters and contacts with students in other countrles are offered.

We wish to express our thanks to the Mid-America Program for

Global Perspectives in Education, a project of the Social Studies Develop- ment Center at Indiana Univ,:rsity in Bloomington, Ind. MAP both eacouraged

and partially supported the developmc:at of this unit as an example of

the many ways which local groups can employ to increase the level of

awareness of the extent to which a community is growing increasingly

interdependent with the rest of the world.

INTRODUCTION TO THE UNIT

Lesson Plan -- Where does your hometown fit in the world?

OBJECTIVE: Given any daily newspaper, a child will be able to show at

least 12 ways in which our community is tavolved in the

world and how other parts of the 14,,10 affect our daily

lives.

AROUND THE WORLD IN FORTY-FIVE MINUTES .

Each student should have one copy of a daily newspaper -- preferably a Sunday edition. Ask each to clip all articles that affect him or her personally from around the world.

Following this, a large world map placed on the bulletin board

should be surrounded by these articles with yarn attached from the article

to the origin.

Each student should pick one article and verbally tell classmates why he or she is interested and how it affects our life. Limit the

talks to two minutes. If more than one child chooses the same article, the

reasons undoubtedly will be different.

Draw a circle-globe about 16 inches in diameter and mount on it

a collage of the extra articles to constantly remind students of the wealth

of information about the world available each day in the newspaper. Let it

be a mobile -- a wall covering -- it will excite and stimulate research on

the p.rt of the students.

In the example given on the following pages, the Sunday issue,

Aug. 17, was used to collect the various articles. A short rdsume with

questions to help point out how our individual lives are affected is in-

cluded for each clipping to introduce this lesson for PEORIA AND THE WORLD.

The clippings on the next page are not shown in their entirety because of

SPORTS

(Article: BU's Davis Chosen for MVC Trip to Brazil)

This lesson plan could be adapted to fit any article concerning

a United States citizen traveling to another country.The steps in

learning about requirements and foreseeing problems will require the

student to take the article and compile a list of activities in which the

traveler must engage before leaving the United States. The study of the

country to which the traveler is going will enrich the student's knowledge

of the country.

I. Locate Brazil on the world map.

A. Check latitude and longitude. How does it compare to Peoria? B. Call Bradley University to find the names of the towns where the games will be played so that these can be located on the map.

II. Using encyclopedias and othei reference materials, filld ways in which Bra.zil differs from Peoria. How is it the same?

III. What will Mr. Davis have to do before starting on this trip? (I would assign a student to check each of the following points so that not every student ould call each mentioned agency.)

A. Passport Call U.S. Office in Post Offbce.

1. What is the cost of a passport? 2. Is a visa necessary?

B. Plane Fare to Tulsa? Tulsa to Brazil? (Call travel agency) C. What season is Brazil having in July?What type of clothing will be required? D.

Check with a doctor's office to find out how the doctor verifies necessary immunizations after they are given. What is a health card? I. Customs of Brazil? Is the country industrial? What tips could Mr. Davis learn by contacting a Caterpillar official who had spent some time living in Brazil? J. What limits the type and amount of things that can be brought back duty free? 9 8.

There are many more activities that could be incorporated to give each student an assignment in reference to !Ir. Davis' trip. You might have someone who has just returned from a trip overseas talk with the class.

The object of.this lesson is to learn about Brazil and .1t the same time help the student to see how one person's trip to ;F.ri.:.Ler country re- quires the services of many agencies in Peoria; thurefo,:e, if interna- tional travel were to cease, many people would_be affected.

For this lesson, articles from the Peoria Journal Starand

Chicago Daily News were used. Activities arc listed that were prompted by studying these articles.

The company involved in this study is CaterpillarTractor

Company which employs 51,000 Illinoisans in its plantsin Peoria, Joliet,

Aurora and Decatur. Twenty thousand of these people have jobs because of exports. Caterpillar estimates that one half of its $4.2billion in sales last year came from sales outside the United States.

What is an export? Where are the plants located? Because of

Caterpillar, according to "Theearth-shaking exports of Illinois" article, Peoria is a leader ininternational trade. From reading the article, locate on the map some of the places in the world whereyou would find Caterpillar products.

Stock market -- Make a graph and study the stock market to determine how Cati..;:illar stock is doing. Teach students to'read these markets. Who can purchase stock? If Caterpillar is a stock company, who really owns it?

Transfers -- (See article containing announcement ofnew Caterpillar manage- ment in Brazil and Latin America.) If your family were being transferred there, what wouldyou have to do before you could enter the country? (See activities under Davis to go to Brazil.) Caterpillar has a training program for the families they send overseas to work. The language is taught to members of the family. How much money do you suppose it costs to move all these people? Would Caterpillar pay the moving expenses? Can the people return to the United States frequently? Do many U.S. companies have American representatives overseas? Occupations Requirements -- In reading the articleon the transfer of personnel, you see a number of colleges and institutions of higher learning mentioned. To make the student aware of the educational requirements, a study could be made to see how businesses decide who would be transferred. (Career awareness doing the job required, punctuality, training, willingness to learn anew job, etc.) (See article on Caterpillar Sales up 38.9 Per Cent for 2nd Quarter) What i'a financial statement? Who will benefit from the increased sales? How do you know how many lift trucks will be sold? How do you use 39.8 per cent in a math problem?

INDUSTRY

Why is Mr. Tucker going to China? (See WABCO article on preceding page.)

Locate the country of China. How does it compare in size to the United States? Within what latitudes does it lie? The United States?

What is a country's gross national product?Does the United States have a gross national product? Does China have a gross national product?

What do we mean by the free enterprise system?Does China have this system? Does the United States?

In China everyone works for the government. What does that mean? How is that different from our economic system?What percentage of Americans work for the government?

Define the words: import, export, customs, interpreter, translaring.

There are several Chinese restaurants in the area. Look in the telephone book's yellow pages to find out how many. Have you ever been to one? Can you name any Chinese foods?

What local communications office might be involved if WABCO wishes to give information to Mr. Tucker? (Perhaps a student could contact the local business office of the phone company to find out about overseas calls.)

AGRICULTURE

What is the Illinois Farm Bureau?Why is it planning to send a sales mission to Eastern Europe?

What are the particular crops of Illinois that world markets mightbe interested in? (Have student check U.S. Department of Agricultureto get statistics on agricultural exports.)

Define: adequate, potential, expansion (expanded), prospective, traditionally.

What special knowledge is needed by Harold Steele to make this trip? How does he decide where to go? Who helps him decide?

What.countries are included in Eastern,Europe?The United Kingdom?

Suppose Mr. Steele and his staff wish to take a short tripon their own to vacation in Eastern Europe? Where would they get a car? Would they need a driver's license? (Have a student contact Chicago Motor Club to get information about an international driver's license.)

If there is a world food shortage, why do American farmers needto expand their markets? Some people say a steer is like a factory, turning grain into meat. What do they mean? How efficient is the factory? Could the grains and forage which cows eat also beeaten by humans? Why is meat in short supply in so many poor countries?

SCIENCE

(See article on WIU Scientist on preceding page.)

Why is Dr. Singer's breakthrough important world-wide? (Several students may wish to do reports on various types of mosquitoes.)

Define: bacterium, biological sciences, debilitating, vectors.

What was the motivation for his research? How does his research relate to the honey bee? (Student research on the balance of nature, pollution, etc., may be used here.)

Why would Dr. Singer's test of his bacterium be done under the U.S. Department of Agriculture's supervision?

tz, What is the World Health Organization? Where have tests been done in the world? (Student research on the United Nations may be interesting here.)

W.F.at is meant by an "environmentally safe control"? Why has DDT been banned in this country? Why does the world-wide use of DDT remain at such a high level, and what does that mean for Americans?

Locate the geographical places mentioned in the article.

The Northern Regional Research Laboratory of the U.S. Department of Agriculture is located in Peoria. The research done at this lab has world-wide significance. The scientists are willing to come to the class- room to discuss their work, and student tours are possible to arrange depending on age.

See the next page for an article that describes the current

food-oriented research at the lab and an article about a new product called "super-slurper." (Perhaps your students can think of some ways

it could help in the world).

Each student is to collect articles on a specific category--thus becoming the class authority on that particular part of world geography..

The cover of the notebook for the articles is to be designed by the student, using newspaper materials and conveying hisor her specialty.

The theme: PEORIA AND THE WORLD as a basis for introduction.

Each student will choose a subject that is directly connected with life in Peoria:

Agriculture IndUstr, & Finance Sports

Culture Science & Technology Immigrants

Students in Schools Government Miscellaneous

PROCEDURE

The student is to collect articles, paste on paper and then write a short paragraph describing how the article affects life in our city.

Each student will have a world map in the front of his or her

Expert notebook, and, as each article is numbered, the student will number the location on the world map. The key for that map will be the second page in the notebook. In thisy, the identification of the country and the article will be correlated.

Following the completion of this project, the student will do research on three articles from or about a city in another country. The student will make a comparison of life in our town and life in thetown connected with the three articles.

This activity is currently being used in an eighth grade class and is directly related to U.S. History and Reading. It could be adapted

I, / us, at Ow High School level or could be at 6th or 7th grade social studies level. Lsing a particular country to be researched and articles collected on only one country as they appeared in the daily newspaper. 2 5 CAREERS AROUND THE WORLD

To read, to write, to listen, to speak, but above all to thiAk!

This is the basic goal of career education.

Students want and need exposure to as many careers as possible.

In this career unit any teacher regardless of geographical location can achieve the basic goal and at the same time create within the classroom

an air of expectancy, excitement and enthusiasm for learning.

Hold a discussion about world leaders. Not just political,

but also sports, entertainment, service, authors, even educators.

Have each student choose a person who has been highly success-

ful in a specific field of work. Assign each student the task of doing

thorough research on the person and the career. From this material the

student can prepare a one to two-minute persuasive talk to convince the

other members of the class that this person in this particular field

should be on the class list of world leaders.

The student then gives the speech to the class. Let the class

be the judge if the name should be included. (Never has a name been

refused in my class.)

Once the list is established, the students each compose a

letter notifying the person of the selection. In the letter the student

also asks questions about the career, and many students request photo-

graphs. This first letter iE turned in to be proofread.

Another important leaming aspect of this activity is to find

the address. Students soon are searching album covers for company addresses,

calling the library, the newspaper, asking for the address of syndicate

services, and using the current World Book of Facts. Great success for

sports figures is achieved by sending in care of the team name, stadium

name, city, state and zip code with the envelope marked "Please Forward." 26 25.

After the letters are proofread, and the address located, we obtain school stationary from the principal. The students recopy the

letnr using the school address for the return.

Now the letters are ready to mail. If some go overseas, a

trip to the post office is in order to find out how much postage will be required.

Once the letters are in the mail, we clear off a section of

the bulletin board with the title above: "CAREERS AROUND THE WORLD."

When the reply comes, we let the writer open his or her own mail in front of the class. Then the treasure is preserved by mounting

in clear plastic film. All answers are put on the bulletin board for

the entire class to share.

It cometimes takes several months to receive a reply, but at

the end of the year all letters, photographs, and mementos are returned

to the student.

It's a great motivator. Even the student who doesn't receive

an answer learns that an unanswered letter brings disappointment, so it

trains a person to think and answer mail.

This unit successfully correlates English skills (research,

letter writing, addressing envelope, persuasive speaking, and evaluating).

It broadens the scope of careers available. In social studies it

strengthens map concepts as the studeut explains where and how this

career is practiced. And for mathematics, the postage and cost of the

project, including the plastic film, is always an added factor.

With the st.ass currentl- on reading skills; this unit is

terrific. The research, the entire project lets the student know the

importance of reading and the practical use of this tool.

We have had letters from the King of Sweden, Mr. Willy Brandt,

27 26.

Sir Edmund Hillary, President Ford, Sandy Koufax, Bobby Riggs, Charles

Schulz, Patricia Neal, Bob Hope, and Elvis Presley, to name just a few.

The only way to really learn to write a letter is to send one. The best way to learn about a career is through contact with the persons engaged

in that career. If you can't have the career come to the classroom,

then contact that career through the mail. The results are tremendous.

It is important for children of all ages to be aware of the concept, "One World," and their relationship to it.On the following pages are activities which can be used with fourth grade children.

Some of the activities are adaptable for even lower level primaly children.

Involved in activities such as these at the lower level of learning, children should be more ready to intensify their studies of the world at a higher level. Also, the activities correlate with the curriculum I am required to teach at my fourth grade level.

FOURTH GRADERS WORK TOWARD BUILDING

WORLD COMMUNITY

An awareness of the world as a global community of people

striving for peace, harmony, and brotherhood is a year-long educational

project in my fourth grade class. I set the scene for "One World" the

very first day of school. When my fourth graders enter the classroom,

they see a bulletin board collage of pictures of people from every part

of the world. It is entitled WORLD COMMUNITY -- PEOPLE TO MEET. (The

bulletin board also correlates with my social studies textbook, Regions

and Social Needs by Laidlaw, and the first unit in our reading book,

. Young America by Lyons and Carnahan.) Around the perimeter of the

bulletin board are the seven continents. They are cut from black con-

struction paper and are approximately 111' high. This bulletin board

and the continents become an on-going, year-long activity involving the

children when I introduce them to the newspaper and their social studies

textbook in the very first social studies lesson in the year.

INITIAL INTRODUCTION TO SOCIAL STUDIES:

REGIONS AND SOCIAL NEEDS TEXTBOOK AND THE NEWSPAPERS

CONCEPTS:

1. Man has always tried to improve his knowledge of the earth.

2. Many different points of view are necessary to perceive the truth.

GETTING STARTED:

Materials: Journal Star, 14 copies (Two students share copy.) Foreign newspapers Poem by Godfrey Saxe: "The Blind Men and the Elephant" Felt cut-outs of snake, wall, tree stumps, spear, fan, rope Flannel Board

3 0 29.

Brief Discussion: What is the world really like? . . .

about an Indian child from Alaska . . . a Bedouin from the

Sahara? . . . A Basuta? etc. . . . What are these people really like? Like us? Different from us? What can you do to get a

better idea of what the world is really like? . . . Children bring forth their viewpoints, which are usually very meager at the beginning of the fourth grade year.

Well, now, let's talk about something you really know pretty well. What about an elephant? What is an elephant really

like?. . . Discussion . . . All right, you do know what an elephant is like. Let me read you a poem about six blind men. Each one thought he really knew what an elephant was like.

PROCEDURE:

As I read the poem I will be assembling the six felt symbols listed above in materials.

There were six men of Indostan To learning much inclined, Who went to see the elephant (Though all of them were blind) That each by observation Might satisfy his mind.

The first approached the elephant, And, happening to fall Against his broad and sturdy side, At once began to bawl, Felt "wall" goes "God bless me but the elephant on flannel board Is very like a wall!"

The second feeling of the tusk Cried: "Ho: what have we here So very round and smooth and sharp? To me 'tis mighty clear Felt "spear" is added This wonder of an elephant to flannel board Is very like a spear:"

The third approached the animal, And, happening to take The squirming trunk within his hands, Thus boldly up aad spake; "I see," quoth he; "the elephant Felt "snake" is added Is very like a snake!"

The fourth reached out his eager hand, And felt about the knee; "What most this wondrous beast is like Is mighty plain," quoth he; "Tis clear enough the elephant Felt "tree stumps" Is very like a tree." are added

3 1 30.

The fifth who chanced to touch the ear, Said: "E'en the blindest man Can tell what this resembles most. Deny the fact who can, This marvel of an elephant Felt "fan" Is very like a fan!" is added

The sixth no sooner had begun About the beast to grope, Than, seizing on the swinging tail That fell within his scope, "I see," quoth he, "the elephant Felt "rope" Is very like a rope!" is added

And so these men of Indostan Disputed loud and long, Each in his own opinion Exceeding stiff and strong, Though each was partly in the right, And all were in the wrong!

So, oft in theologic wars The disputants, I ween, Rail on in utter ignorance Of what each other mean, And prate about an elephant Not one of them has seen.

At poem completion the flannel board will display a completed felt elephant formed from the felt symbols.

Discussion: How could the blind men have gotten a more complete idea of what an elephant looks like? Completed "felt elephant" should elicit the response! "by combining their observa- tions."

We will be studying many parts of the world besides our

own . . . . different regions . . . . different people around the world.

I will then lead them through a "picture-skimming" ex- cursion of their book: (It is also an excellent opportunity for using the index.) On what page can we find a picture

of the Bedouin? On what page can we find the Basuta? . . etc.

After we do this for awhile I ask them: Will this social studies book be enough to get a true up-to-date picture of the world. I introduce them to the copyright in the book which is 1972. I tell them how it usually takes five years to write and publish a book, so our book's content is already seven or eight years old. How are we going to get a complete picture of all these different people living in different parts of the world? Discussion should lead from the textbook

32 31.

to maps, globes, charts, reference books, biographies, records, movies, television, tapes, magazines, and news- papers. Newspapers are usually mentioned first since the stack of Journal Star newspapers sitting on my desk usually prompts curiosity.

After papers are passed out, we have fun with them. We skip through them . . . reading headlines . . . finding stories about children. I explain datelines. They find news items about people from other states . . . other countries around the world. These are clipped and placed on the continents around the collage bulletin board. Of course, this involves hunting for the countries on the world map first. Their perception of the world is very vague in this initial lesson . . . Illinois is a country . . . Mexico is a state . . . etc. So this becomes a year-long activity of finding current news about countries in newspapers and magazines and placing the items on the correct continent.

After we explore this activity. I encourage them to take their copy of the Journal Star home to share with their family and to further enjoy.

Next, I pass out copies of old foreiv newspapers from various countries around the world. (These are copies I have attained through world-traveler friends and old copies from last year's MultiNewspapers subscription. I will refer to this later.) The children are always' excited about foreign newspapers. Some are in a foreign language and others are printed in English. (These are always kept in our library in special folders. I paste a page from the paper, which is readable, on the outside of a folder. I cover it with Contact and thus, it is easily recognizable to the child when he or she wishes to refer to a certain country's newspaper. Also, it keeps the foreign newspapers organized neatly and ready to use at a moment's notice.)

A sample lesson form follows showing how I plan to incor- porate them, along with the Peoria Journal Star, in sharpening the children's perception of the world and their relationship to it in later studies.

3 3 32.

How can we make people in other parts of the world "real" to

the children? A handsome Bedouin sheik on his white camel is romantic on

page 55 of our social studies textbook, but what of the drought-plagued

starving Bedouin of today? The gaucho from South America on page 167 in

our social studies book, too, is colorful and romantic. But what of the

problems facing the people in South America today? The newspaper can

help make the children aware of the realistic need people have for each

other. I use the foreign newspapers and our local newspaper in a com-

parison study of our country with another.

(This type of activity will be initiated after the children have used

the Journal Star, and after they have published at least one of their

own newspapers.)

I. OBJECTIVES:

A. To establish Brazil's relevancy to the children's world. Now! Today: (Or it might be Costa Rica or Fiji Islands, etc. -- depending on which current foreign newspaper we use in our com- parison activity.)

B, To help bridge the gap between life in school and life outside school.

C. To compare the current eventa printed in the Brazil Herald with the current events printed in the Journal Star in order to deter- mine what is important news coverage to both countries.

D. To develop and broaden interests in current affairs in order to build a desire to keep abreast of new developments; to reveal the relationships between the present and the past; and as a result to use creative thinking in planning for the future.

E. To identify similarities between people of Brazil and our country, and; most important, to perceive differences and appreciate them.

II. SKILLS TO BE DEVELOPED:

A. The skill of utilizing the newspaper as a tool for knowledge of the world.

B. The skill of r,---ognizing different points of view.

C. To improve skills involved in critical thinking, problem solving, and reading (comparison/contrast, skimming, note-taking, etc.).

3 4 33.

III. MATERIALS NEEDED:

A. A copy of a current Brazil Herald newspaper. (Numerous copies are more desirable, but one will do the job.)

B. A copy of Manchete Edicao Especial Progresso Do Brasil (or a copy of one of Brazil's newspapers which is printed in Portuguese.)

C. A copy (or copies) of the local newspaper, The Peoria Journal Star.

IV. PROCEDURE:

A. Manchete Edicao Especial Progresso Do Brasil or a newspaper printed in Portuguese would be explored first.Written in Portuguese, it will provide the flavor of the country. Specu- lation as to what stories the pictures might be portraying can be pursued.

B. Next, I divide the class into Brazilians and Americans. I explain how we will be comparing the newspapers: The BrazilianE using the Herald, and the Americans using the Peoria Journal Star. (It should be explained, too, that the Herald is directed to the interests of people from English speaking countries who live in Brazil as well as Brazilians who read English.)

I First we will explore the headlines on page one comparing news coverage. Brazilians, what did you consider the most important news happening in the world today?Americans? If there is a difference, why? (Point of view again enters the picture, and refining of perception skills is attained.)

2. We then explore other news items for comparison, such as:

a. humor--entertainment, cartoons, puzzles, etc. b. sports c. transportation d. communication e. government f. education g. conservation h. relations with the United States/Brazil i. relations with other countries j. industries k. advertisements 1. people--human interest m. health and safety n. recreation o. agriculture p. housing q. rural areas r. want ads--job opportunities

etc. 3 5 34.

C. Reaching conclusions after comparing the newspapers:

Are we more different than we are alike? Or are we more alike than different?

Brazilians, why are you like you are?Why don't you think like

we do on this and this . . . why do you do this this way instead of like this, our way. Brazilians, what can you do to make our lives richer and happier? Americans, what can you do to make our lives richer and happier? Brazilians counter the Americans in the same manner.

Through the newspapers, a living Brazilian enters the classroom and becomes real to the children. Somewh,..re in the world he's laughing at cartoons; he's reading about some of the very same things we are; and he's interested, too. "I want to know more about him" is motivated. Reading about his present and past becomes a necessary drive.

D. I solicit questions from the children as to what they would like to know about the Brazilian. I write them on the board, and then they are charted by the children for progression of study. (I have a list of questions ready to help motivate their thinking should it falter, and also items to help elaborate their questions should they be too general. For instance: Comparison of Brazil's history with ours -- Cabral/Columbus; IndJans.)

And thus research on Brazil is launched, meaningfully, through a rele- vant teaching tool, the newspaper. This lesson was successful because the children were highly stimulated to learn more about the Brazilian and went on without my suggestion, guidance, or supervision to develop a comparative bulletin board comparing the United States and Brazil. The children might also compile a scrapbook comparing/contrasting news items from the Brazil Herald with news items from the Journal Star. 35.

Newspapers come regularly to my classroom not only fromour local news- paper and fronilother cities in the United States, but from around the world. The children write for copies of newspapers from thestates. I order foreign newspapers from MultiNewspapers, Box De,Dana Point, CA 92629. For $2.98 I receive seven newspapers from different countries around the world. They usually arrive about two weeks apart.These are the current copies which are used in our comparison lessons. When they arrive the children are highly motivated. For instance, when the one came from Fiji, it was an unheard,of place. Down came the map: They had to locate it immediately. Out came the encyclopedia: They had to find out more about it. That one newspaper stimulated more enthusiasm for using research and study skills than any classroom textbookever did. It was real and happening right now!

EXCHANGING SCRAPBOOKS AND PEN PAL LETTERS WITH CHILDREN FROM A FOREIGN COUNTRY INTERNATIONAL FRIENDSHIP

Newspapers can stretch hearts, minds, lives, hands through creative world-wide exchanges with children from other countries.

Early in the school year I ask my class if they want toex- change a scrapbook with a fourth-grade class in one of the countrieswe will be studying for the year. It's a fascinating idea to them. For the past two years my class has exchanged letters and a scrapbook with

ESCOLA GRADUADA DE SAO PAULO, The American Elementary anl High School in Brazil. Many of the children, even after two years, are still con- tinuing their pen pal friendships. Our beautiful scrapbook was never received by the school in Brazil, however.

This year they will continue to exchange pen pal letters with the school in Brazil, but we will also exchange pen pal letters and a scrapbook with a fourth grade class in Saudi Arabia.The school in Saudi

Arabia has an A.P.O. number, so we are more assured of our scrapbook arriving there intact. Also, it will be reasonable to mail. Since it would have cost approximately $37.00 to send our scrapbook to Brazil by air, I sent it by boat, and as a result it never arrived in Brazil.

My students compile information about their school, their town, their state, and their country to put i. the scrapbook for the children in Brazil or Sandi Arabia. They write to the Mayor of Morton, 3 7 36.

the Governor of Illinois, and the President requesting materials and information to put in their scrapbook. The Mayor of Morton, with the help of the Morton Chamber of Commerce, sent us material at least a foot high, consisting of pictures. of parks, schools, public buildings, industry, etc.,along with pamphlets and other information about Morton. The

Governor and the President sent us pictures and pamphlets, also. The children clipped newspaper and magazine pictures and articles covering every facet of American life. They did research and wrote reports for the scrapbook. They compiled an American stamp collection and included it in the scrapbook. They took their own photographs and included them. Their finished scrapbook gave the children in Brazil a good over-all view of America. This year, if the children in Saudi Arabia have compatible recording machines, we plan to send tape cassettes to

them, thus making our 2xchange even mor personal and even more fun.

If you want to exchange letters with children.from.another country, but you don't have a source to write to, go to the public library. The reference desk has.a book listing all the newspapers published in

the world. Copy the names and addresses of the newspapers in the country . you wish to study, andwrite to them. I wrote the Brazil Herzlid in such a way, and they put me dn cortact with t:,e siool in Brazil. Only re- cently the Brazil Herald wrote me asking for materials.on using the newspaper in the classroom, because they are trying to start a program in the American schools there. One paper in England wrote back to our classroom, and said they did not personally get involved with pen pal exchanges, but they sent us the address of a Friendship League, and some of my'Tormer student,s aro still corresponding with children in England and Ireland. 37.

The NEA (National Education Association) Bicentennial theme is "Declaration of Interdependence: Education for a Global Community."

They have published an NEA Bicentennial Ideabook with the purpose of making "Education a vehicle cnrough which peai.e and the principles ot the American Revolutionlife, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness-- may become the guidelines for human relationships on our planet." The

Ideabook suggests seven problems facing the global community today-- energy, political aCtion, transportation, population, education, measurement, and communication. It goes on to say a horizon can be as wide as we are willing to see, or it can be as narrow as our own fears and insecurities; and Liat if we begin to see a global community, then we can search for some adjustments and even solutions to these seven problems.

Although these seven areas could be dealt with more inten-

sively at a higher level than fourth grade, I plan to involve my students in probing these problem areas. The Ideabook ,ffers many good ideas.

And the newspaper once again can be usetul in probing these problem areas in a more current, more meaningful way.

PROBLEMS FACING THE WORLD TODAY

I Jist the seven pr(:blems on the hoard, and, after discussion,

I assign students to tind examples ot these problems in the newspapers.

They will hunt and clip them for a week at a time. We will read and . categorize them together. Then I will assign them to groups to discuss and brainstorm them. For example:

3 9 38.

POPULATION

You can't study population without studyiny hunger, poverty, and universal

basic human needs. The following examples of newspaper clippings would

stimulate discussion in this problem area: Peoria Bishop Refutes Butz

Livestock Outlook -- Illinois Hogs Flown to Taiwan -- Economy Meeting to

be Held Here -- Knuppel to Attend National Session on Ag. Problems --

Let Japanese "Eat Cake" - It Helps Illinois -- Researcher Says 'Beefalo'

Breeding Causes Problem -- Illinois Farmers Harvest Set At 22.4 Million

Acres -- Russian Hand on Lever of U.S. Corn Prices -- News items such as

these appear in every day's paper. You also can'r study population

without studying human behavicr. The editorial cartoon by John Riedell,

Journal Star, "A World We Don't Need," could be the inspiration for my

children to make a similar drawing depicting "A World We Do Need" for

the editorial page of their own class newspaper. Also, an editorial

written by the children based on these discussions would appear in their

class newspaper.

COMMUNICATION

Overseas Dialing Comes to Peoria -- Through the discussion of this

newspaper clipping the children become aware that Peorians whose phone

numbers begin with 67 can call persons in 20 foreign countries without

the assistance of an operator. And the world comes closer.

TRANSPORTATION

Bagpipes to Sailfish Pass Peoria Customs -- Through the newspaper the

children learn that we have a Port of Peoria. A man in Pekin imported

bagpipes from Glasgow, Scotland. A Peoria resident imported sailfish

from Mexico. Another person imported ginseng root from China. And

the world moves closer to the children. At the'same time the children

learn in a meaningful way about ports, customs, imports, exports, trade

and the need people have for each other. 40 39.

French University to Host 12 Peoria Area ISU Students -- AFS Students

Head Overseas -- Two European 4-H'ers Sample American Rural Life -- - New Zealand Exchange Student, Looking around Fulton U.S. Japan

Trade Council Donates Film to Schools -- China, Japan, Asia are in

Programs at Bradley U., Lakeview and Industry -- These news items are always plentiful in the local paper. Children can become involved in writing letters to exchange students inviting them to the classroom.

Last year a foreign-exchange student from Sao Paulo, Brazil, visited our school, and this year a foreign-exchangestudent from'Germany will visit. They always bring interesting slides and artifacts from

their country.

After the children become aware of th'e problem areas facing

the world today, they might go on to role-play situations where

problems exist and try to resolve the problems. Just the attempt

itself of trying to resolve problems can make them aware of the com-

plexity of resolving problem areas. An Idea Book for Studying Other

Nations by Dr. Thomas B. Goodkind gives an example of how students.

can get a feeling Eor a Pakistani family, itsdaily life, and a repre-

sentative issue or problem that would need to be solved. He suggests

developing a game using just bits of information and ideas abstracted

from some printed source. Besides the children's textbook, current

pictures from the newspaper and magazines can enhance simulation games

such as these.

And, of course, wherever problems exist it is necessary for

childten to be informed as to how our government and other organizations

function to help solve them.

WORLD INTERDEPENDENCE

The children can collect pictures of leaders from different

countries from the newspaper and magazines and then place them on the

continents surrounding the World Community Bulletin Board. They can do

the same with Ambassadors to another country. They could choose one of

.these people and role-play his/her life by telling about the country

the person lives in and why he or she likes to live there.

Or they could pretend that they live in a country that does not

have enough food, and they could tell how other countries helped them to

get the things they needed.

They could make a list of the full names of organizations that

are a part of the United Nations, including such organizations as UNICEF,

WHO, and UNESCO. Once again the daily paper can enhance the study with

such news items as: Andrews Delegate to UN Crime Prevention Meet. It can

bring a more relevant understanding to the children of how an organization

such as the UN functions when they see local leaders involved. Andrews Delegate To UN Crime Prevention Meet Police Chief Allen H.
