  • Social Studies Curriculum
    WASHINGTON WEST SUPERVISORY UNION SOCIAL STUDIES CURRICULUM Crossett Brook Middle School Fayston Elementary School Harwood Union Middle and High School Moretown Elementary School Thatcher Brook Primary School Waitsfield Elementary School Warren Elementary School October 16, 2001 August 29, 2001 Dear Reader, During the opening phases of writing this document, the committee referred to a variety of materials to begin formulating the work found within these pages. We examined the national standards, state standards, and curricula from other states and districts within Vermont. After exploring these materials, the committee began preparing the skeleton of the document. This phase of the process was long and arduous. It took years of collaboration and compromise. The Scope and Sequence that follows represents a draft that has been reviewed by the committee, the administration, WWSU educators, and experts in the field outside our supervisory union. This document was written for the purpose of informing the practitioner who will use it to guide his or her teaching in the classroom. However, the committee encourages any educator to share his or her pieces with other interested parties. The committee recognizes there might be a need to interpret the meaning of the content for the layperson. The Social Studies Curriculum will include overlying materials such as the WWSU Pre-K – 12 scope and sequence, goals and desired outcomes. Following this overlying material, each grade level includes an introduction sheet with theme(s), geography implications, community service project guidelines, questions to consider, and key concepts covered in that grade. A partial list of resources is included and will be added to at a later date.

Edvard Munch (1863–1944) was twenty-eight when he embarked on a lifelong effort to paint his ‘soul’s diary’ – and began a perverse love affair with self-destruction. This intimate and moving life of the Norwegian artist explores his turbulent early years, his time as a recluse and his intense efforts to paint not what he saw, but what he experienced.

Text by Tessel M. Bauduin, Daniel Birnbaum, Briony Fer, Vivien Greene, David Max Horowitz, Andrea Kollnitz, Helen Molesworth, Julia Voss. When Swedish artist Hilma af Klint died in 1944 at the age of 81, she left behind more than 1,000 paintings and works on paper that she had kept largely private during her lifetime. Believing the world was not yet ready for her art, she stipulated that it should remain unseen for another 20 years. But only in recent decades has the public had a chance to reckon with af Klint’s radically abstract painting practice—one which predates the work of Vasily Kandinsky and other artists widely considered trailblazers of modernist abstraction. Her boldly colorful works, many of them large-scale, reflect an ambitious, spiritually informed attempt to chart an invisible, totalizing world order through a synthesis of natural and geometric forms, textual elements and esoteric symbolism.

  • WNET Licensing (A's)
    The “A’s” (Source: NET microfiche, unless listed) Aaron Copland Meets the Soviet Composers (1959) Initial Broadcast: N/A Number of programs: 1 Origin Format: Undetermined Running time: 30 minutes AARON COPLAND MEETS THE SOVIET COMPOSERS is a half-hour studio production kinescope of an interview between Copland and six Soviet musicians, musicologists and/or composers who were travelling in the US. My impression is that this was a visit in return for one made to the USSR by an American group earlier that included Menned (?), Sessions, Harris and Kay (?). The setting for the interview is a recreated concert hall stage with the guests sitting in players’ chairs and Copland and his translator located where a solo instrumentalist would be seated. The questions appear to have been scripted in advance – and scripts placed on the music stands. The responses from the Soviets appear to have been ad lib. Copland’s questions were translated into Russian by an American (?) of Russian origins, Nicholas Slonimsky, himself a musician. The Soviets spoke in Russian and were heard through simultaneous translation. The translator was unseen and uncredited. The Soviet guests include (in order of answering questions): Dmitri Kabalevsky, Boris Yarustovsky, Tikhon Khrennikov, Dmitri Shostakovich, Konstantin Dankevich and Fikret Amirov. Kabalevsky was asked about the knowledge of American music in the USSR; Yarustovsky on the influence of American music on Russian music; Khrennikov on the reactions of Soviet musicians to the visit of four American musicians earlier (in the exchange program?); Shostakovich on American jaZZ and its influence; Dankevich on younger Soviet composers and Amirov on the adaption of native musical types to series music.

Another painting of one of these events depicts a mirror surrounded by the stations of the cross in the background below the artist's signature. In that painting of one of these events, a man in a (*) large black hat holds hands with a woman holding the folds of her green dress in front of her. For 10 points, name this type of event depicted in a Jan van Eyck painting of the Arnolfini couple. ANSWER: weddings [or marriages] 004-10-19-08102 2. In 1985, a so called “peace convoy” was prevented from accessing this site in the “Battle of the Beanfield.” John Aubrey discovered fifty-six namesake “holes” at this location, which was chosen by Thomas Hardy as the place where the police arrest Tess of the d’Urbervilles. A recreation of this site using (*) cars can be found in Alliance, Nebraska. Inigo Jones concluded that it was the location of a Roman temple, but modern anthropologists believe it was erected almost five thousand years ago. For 10 points, name this formation of rocks in Salisbury, England. ANSWER: Stonehenge 015-10-19-08103 3. This composer's String Quartet in Four Parts drew on the Indian association of the seasons to different creative forces. His collection Sonatas and Interludes requires placing screws, bolts, and pieces of rubber inside the piano, a technique he developed called the "prepared piano." He created a piece played by twelve radios tuned to random stations, the fourth of his Imaginary Landscapes.
