Make sure to also give the title and author of the book. [ SUMMARY ] In a paragraph or two, summarize the plot of the book. Be sure that your summary introduces the main character, identifies the problem, and leads us toward the solution-- without giving away the ending! [ IMPRESSION ] Share your opinion! How did you feel about the book? What did you think of the author? Would you recommend it to others? What would you rate it? [ CLOSING ] Entice your audience! Ask a rhetorical question, read a quote from the book, use a cliffhanger, or do a combination of these techniques. Remember, your book talk should flow nicely, like a commercial.

  • Classroom Guide for LOUIS SOCKALEXIS Native American Baseball Pioneer Written by Bill Wise Illustrated by Bill Farnsworth
    Lee & Low Books Paul Robeson Teacher’s Guide p.1 Classroom Guide for LOUIS SOCKALEXIS Native American Baseball Pioneer written by Bill Wise illustrated by Bill Farnsworth Reading Level *Reading Level: Grade 3 Interest Level: Grades 1-6 Guided Reading Level: Q Lexile™ Measure: AD920 *Reading level based on the Spache Readability Formula Themes Sports (Baseball), Trailblazers, Prejudice, Courage, Dignity, Native American Interest National Standards SOCIAL STUDIES: Culture; Time, Continuity, and Change; Individual Development and Identity; Individuals, Groups, and Institutions LANGUAGE ARTS: Understanding the Human Experience; Multicultural Understanding; Reading for Perspective In 1884, Louis Sockalexis, a twelve-year-old Penobscot Indian, fell in love with baseball. The boy lived on a reservation in Maine where his father was a tribal leader. As he grew up, Sockalexis honed his skills and dreamed of joining a major league team. He became a star athlete in high school and college. Even so, he faced opposition from his father who wanted him to focus on tribal life and from spectators who jeered at “the Indian playing a white man’s game.” In 1897, Sockalexis was offered a contract with the major league Cleveland Spiders. Despite this accomplishment, he was lonely away from home and subjected to ugly racism from baseball fans across the country. Then, on June 16, 1897, Sockalexis faced off against a celebrated pitcher for the New York Giants at the Polo Grounds in New York City. Ignoring the heckling crowd and the pitcher who had promised to strike him out, Sockalexis hit a home run to the far reaches of the ballpark.

  • A Remembrance of John Tortes Meyers (1880-1971) HENRY G
    Journal of California and Great Basin Anthropology Vol. 24, No. 1, pp. 21-40 (2004) 21 The Catcher Was a Gahuilla: A Remembrance of John Tortes Meyers (1880-1971) HENRY G. KOERPER Dept. of Anthropology, Cypress College, Cypress, CA 90630 NATIVE American athletes achieved their greatest recognition in modern sports during the period from the turn of the century through the 1920s (Oxendine 1988). Among the notables were several Californians. For instance, Antonio Lubo, Elmer Busch, and Peter Calac all served as gridiron captains under Coach "Pop" Warner at Carlisle Indian Industrial School (Koerper 2000), where at various times they were teammates of the legendary Jim Thorpe (Peterson n.d.; Steckbeck 1951). Calac was Luiseno, Busch was Pomo, and Lubo was a Santa Rosa Mountain Cahuilla. Another athlete with ties to the Santa Rosa reservation, John Tortes Meyers (Fig. 1), developed into one of the best baseball catchers of his era. A roommate of Thorpe when the two played for the New York Nationals (Giants) (Fig. 2), then managed by John McGraw, "Chief" Meyers counted as battery mates at New York and elsewhere. Baseball Hall of Fame pitchers Christy Mathewson (see Robinson 1993), Rube Marquard (see Hynd 1996), and Walter "Big Train" Johnson (see Kavanagh 1995). For his many accomplishments, Meyers became the first Californian inducted into the American Indian Sports Hall of Fame, presently housed at Haskell Indian Nations University in Kansas. This biographical overview chronicles the life of this gifted and courageous athlete who tenaciously embraced his Indian identity while operating mostly in a white world.' autionary notes attend the childhood biography of John Tortes Meyers.

  • 1 Darren Zaslau Independent Major Honors Project
    Darren Zaslau Independent Major Honors Project Race, Ethnicity and the Legacy of Baseball in the Americas ADVISORS: Daphne John and Jay Ashby Baseball is America’s Pastime. When looKing at its history in our modern day, it is difficult to imagine the racism and hate, which will always remain implanted in the roots of the game. From the Negro Leagues of 1920, to the racism surrounding Roberto Clemente, Hispanic players, and other racial minorities, the struggles of the past will never be forgotten. Although its history was filled with periods of adversity, the current inclusive state that baseball currently presents is truly remarKable. Analyzing these positive trends toward racial inclusion overtime will be the main focus of this independent major honors research project. In addition, understanding where the sport has come from, its current state, and attempting to predict the future will be extremely important aspects for deeper analysis. Individual baseball icons that opened the door for the current racial minority participants such as JacKie Robinson, Roberto Clemente, and Masanori MuraKami will all be discussed in order to understand baseball’s true pastime. Current events including the World Baseball Classic, the Little League World Series dominance of Asian teams, and the 2016 Tampa Bay Rays trip to Cuba are other areas of investigation to show how the culture has changed in the 20th century. Finally, this project will predict the future of baseball to fully process the impacts that these athletes and Key events have had on the sport. As a result of the increased racial inclusion over time, will racism in baseball decrease? Will coaching staffs be primarily composed of racial minorities so they that they will be able to relate and communicate with their players? Will Major League Baseball (MLB) expand to other 1 countries other than the United States and Canada? With the way the sport is progressing in our modern day society, the possibilities are endless.
