Students have substantial prior knowledge of the sun, moon, and stars from their observations and children’s literature. In this unit, students will methodically investigate the science of the patterns of the apparent movement of the space objects they can see from Earth. Over the course of the unit, students will record observations of sunrise and sunset and the visible shape of the moon over periods of time. By recording observations of the sunrise and sunset throughout the school year, students will learn that the periods of daylight grow longer and shorter during summer and winter. By collecting data of the shape of the moon over two months, students will recognize the patterns of the phases of the moon. By studying star configurations, students will begin to realize that stars are fixed and it is Earth that is moving. A key concept underlying all three studies is to build understanding of the predictable patterns of the apparent movements of the sun, moon, and stars. These patterns can be studied and predicted to tell where the objects will be in the sky at any given time. In this unit, the guiding phenomenon is to use science to unlock the mystery of why the objects in the sky—the sun, moon, and stars—seem to move and change position over time. The unit builds on student understandings about sunlight from Kindergarten, such as K-ESS2-1: Use and share observations of local weather conditions to describe patterns over time. Lesson 1 also builds toward the Grade 1 target of 1-ESS1-2: Make observations at different times of the year to relate the amount of daylight to the time of year. Students explore concepts that include the following: • The sun appears to move across the sky in a predictable pattern throughout the day. • Sunrise and sunset times throughout the year are related to periods of daytime and nighttime. • The sun rises and sets in a predictable pattern. • The amount of daylight changes during different seasons. • Sunrise and sunset times can be predicted for future dates. • The moon is an object in the sky. • The moon appears to move across the sky in a predictable pattern. INTRODUCTION 1 CKSci_G1U1_TG_PRINT.indb 1 20/07/20 9:16 PM • The appearance of the moon changes as it moves through different phases. • The appearance of the moon in the future can be predicted. • Stars and constellations are objects in the night sky. • The Big Dipper appears to move in the sky. • The location of the Big Dipper in the night sky can be predicted. Scientists, including astronomers, climatologists, and meteorologists, observe, analyze, and study patterns of the apparent movement of celestial objects to describe patterns in the natural world in order to answer scientific questions. This series of lessons incorporates learning goals that support scientific principles and practices, such as analyzing and interpreting data, recognizing cause and effect, and planning and carrying out investigations. Note to Teachers and Curriculum Planners This unit introduces Grade 1 students to the patterns of the apparent movement of the sun, moon, and stars, which will be explored in greater depth in later grades. Students will investigate the sun, Earth, moon, and stars as celestial objects as they study Earth’s place in the universe and weather patterns in Grades 2, 3, 4, and 5. Students will learn about how the times of the sunrise and sunset are related to the length of daytime and nighttime, understand the patterns of moon phases, and recognize the patterns of the apparent movement of stars in the night sky. The following are preliminary considerations for planning and instruction relative to this unit: • The study of the sun involves a months-long collection of sunrise and sunset data facilitated with family assistance to develop understanding of the patterns of daytime and nighttime. • The study of moon phases involves a two-month-long collection of data facilitated with family assistance. Special Pacing Plan Unit 1 Sun, Moon, and Stars includes two long-term investigations. To accommodate these, we suggest that you teach this unit in “blocks” throughout your school year, some spaced weeks or months apart. The first long-term investigation involves observing the sunrise and sunset times throughout the year (September through May). The second long-term investigation involves observing the moon phases for a period of two consecutive months. Students will be required to present their findings or observations once a week as the investigations progress. There are two types of teaching days. • On instructional days, you should conduct full lesson segments from this unit. • On reporting days, you take only a few minutes to record students’ observational data, which will be collected over time to analyze later for patterns. During extended reporting periods, you will likely also turn your attention to teaching other science units. 2 SUN, MOON, AND STARS CKSci_G1U1_TG_PRINT.indb 2 20/07/20 9:16 PM This calendar models how you might plan instructional days and reporting days for the long-term investigations.

  • Nicholas Sparks
    THE NOTEBOOK Nicholas Sparks CHAPTER ONE - MIRACLES WHO AM I? And how, I wonder, will this story end? The sun has come up and I am sitting by a window that is foggy with the breath of a life gone by. I’m a sight this morning: two shirts, heavy pants, a scarf wrapped twice around my neck and tucked into a thick sweater knitted by my daughter thirty birthdays ago. The thermostat in my room is set as high as it will go, and a smaller space heater sits directly behind me. II clicks and groans and spews hot air like a fairy-tale dragon, and still my body shivers with a cold that will never go away, a cold that has been eighty years in the making. Eighty years. I wonder if this is how it is for everyone my age. My life? It isn’t easy to explain. It has not been the rip-roaring spectacular I fancied it would be, but neither have I burrowed around with the gophers. I suppose it has most resembled a blue-chip stock: fairly stable, more ups than downs, and gradually trending upwards over time. I’ve learned that not everyone can say this about his life. But do not be misled. I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts, and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me this has always been enough.

    1921 Fir-flower tablets : poems [ID D29140]. (4) SONGS OF THE MARCHES BY LI T'AI-PO I II is the Fifth Month, 1 But still the Heaven-high hills Shine with snow. There are no flowers For the heart of the earth is yet too chilly. From the centre of the camp Comes the sound of a flute Playing "The Snapped Willow." 2 No colour mists the trees, Not yet have their leaves broken. At dawn, there is the shock and shouting of battle, Following the drums and the loud metal gongs. At night, the soldiers sleep, clasping the pommels of their jade-ornamented saddles. They sleep lightly, With their two-edged swords girt below their loins, So that they may be able in an instant to rush upon the Barbarians 3 And destroy them. [Page 2] II Horses! Horses! Swift as the three dogs' wind! Whips stinging the clear air like the sharp calling of birds, They ride across the camel-back bridge Over the river Wei. They bend the bows, Curving them away from the moon which shines behind them Over their own country of Han. They fasten feathers on their arrows To destroy the immense arrogance of the foe. Now the regiments are divided And scattered like the five-pointed stars, Sea mist envelops the deserted camp, The task is accomplished, And the portrait of Ho P'iao Yao 4 Hangs magnificently in the Lin Pavilion. III When Autumn burns along the hills, The Barbarian hordes mount their horses And pour down from the North. Then, in the country of Han, The Heavenly soldiers arise 5 And depart from their homes.

  • "Ersatz As the Day Is Long": Japanese Popular
    “ERSATZ AS THE DAY IS LONG”: JAPANESE POPULAR MUSIC, THE STRUGGLE FOR AUTHNETICITY, AND COLD WAR ORIENTALISM Robyn P. Perry A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2021 Committee: Walter Grunden, Advisor Jeremy Wallach © 2021 Robyn P. Perry All Rights Reserve iii ABSTRACT Walter Grunden, Advisor During the Allied Occupation of Japan, Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers (SCAP) Douglas MacArthur set forth on a mission to Americanize Japan. One way SCAP decided this could be done was by utilizing forms of media that were already popular in Japan, particularly the radio. The Far East Network (FEN), a network of American military radio and television stations in Japan, Okinawa, Guam, and the Philippines, began to broadcast American country & western music. By the early 1950s, Japanese country & western ensembles would begin to form, which initiated the evolution toward modern J-pop. During the first two decades of the Cold War, performers of various postwar subgenres of early Japanese rock (or J-rock), including country & western, rockabilly, kayōkyoku, eleki, and Group Sounds, would attempt to break into markets in the West. While some of these performers floundered, others were able to walk side-by-side with several Western greats or even become stars in their own right, such as when Kyu Sakamoto produced a number one hit in the United States with his “Sukiyaki” in 1963. The way that these Japanese popular music performers were perceived in the West, primarily in the United States, was rooted in centuries of Orientalist preconceptions about Japanese people, Japanese culture, and Japan that had recently been recalibrated to reflect the ethos of the Cold War.
