PUB TYPE Reports Descriptive (141) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Cartoons; Elementary Secondary Education; Figurative Language; *History Instruction; *Humor; Illustrations; Instructional Materials; *Literary Devices; *Satire; Social Studies; United States History; Visual Aids; World History IDENTIFIERS *Political Cartoons ABSTRACT This essay focuses on the ability of the political cartoon to enhance history instruction. A trend in recent years is for social studies teachers to use these graphics to enhance instruction. Cartoons have the ability to:(1) empower teachers to demonstrate excellence during lessons; (2) prepare students for standardized tests containing cartoon questions;(3) promote critical thinking as in the Bradley Commission's suggestions for developing "History's Habits of the Mind;"(4) develop students' multiple intelligences, especially those of special needs learners; and (5) build lessons that aid students to master standards of governmental or professional curriculum organizations. The article traces the historical development of the political cartoon and provides examples of some of the earliest ones; the contemporary scene is also represented. Suggestions are given for use of research and critical thinking skills in interpreting editorial cartoons. The caricature and symbolism of political cartoons also are explored. An extensive reference section provides additional information and sources for political cartoons. -
Rube Goldberg Machines
Rube Goldberg Machines Submitted by: Edward Gunkle, 8th Grade Science Miff-West High School, Middleburg, PA Target Grade: 8th Grade, Science Time Required: 6 days, 40-50 minute lessons Standards Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS): • MS-ETS1-2. Evaluate competing design solutions using a systematic process to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the problem. • MS-PS3-5: Construct, use, and present arguments to support the claim that when the kinetic energy of an object changes, energy is transferred to or from the object. Lesson Objectives Students will be able to: • Identify and describe the 6 basic simple machines. • Explain the mechanical advantage of simple machines. • Analyze and explain the relationship between potential, kinetic, and mechanical energy present in a compound machine. • Apply understanding of simple machines and energy transfer to design and build a compound machine to complete a predetermined task. • Write a Rube Goldberg machine explanation to describe the machine's actions. Central Focus This lesson can be used as hands-on practice with simple machines and the concepts of energy transfers. Students will be collaborating together to design a working Rube Goldberg machine to complete the simple tasks of popping a balloon or stapling papers together. In the project, they will use their knowledge of different types of energy, how energy is transferred, and simple machines to design their multi-step machine. Key Words: physics, create, makerspace, blueprints, engineering design process, potential energy, kinetic energy, mechanical energy Background Information A Rube Goldberg (RG) machine is a machine intentionally designed to perform a simple task in an indirect and overly complicated way, relying on chain reactions. -

The "Stars for Freedom" Rally
National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Selma-to-Montgomery National Historic Trail The "Stars for Freedom" Rally March 24,1965 The "March to Montgomery" held the promise of fulfilling the hopes of many Americans who desired to witness the reality of freedom and liberty for all citizens. It was a movement which drew many luminaries of American society, including internationally-known performers and artists. In a drenching rain, on the fourth day, March 24th, carloads and busloads of participants joined the march as U.S. Highway 80 widened to four lanes, thus allowing a greater volume of participants than the court- imposed 300-person limitation when the roadway was narrower. There were many well-known celebrities among the more than 25,000 persons camped on the 36-acre grounds of the City of St. Jude, a Catholic social services complex which included a school, hospital, and other service facilities, located within the Washington Park neighborhood. This fourth campsite, situated on a rain-soaked playing field, held a flatbed trailer that served as a stage and a host of famous participants that provided the scene for an inspirational performance enjoyed by thousands on the dampened grounds. The event was organized and coordinated by the internationally acclaimed activist and screen star Harry Belafonte, on the evening of March 24, 1965. The night "the Stars" came out in Alabama Mr. Belafonte had been an acquaintance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. since 1956. He later raised thousands of dollars in funding support for the Freedom Riders and to bailout many protesters incarcerated during the era, including Dr. -
The Art of Rube Goldberg
current past articles swifts & slows submit The Art of Rube Goldberg Ron Morosan January 2020 The Art of Rube Goldberg The Queens Museum Flushing Meadows, Corona Park, New York thru February 9, 2020 Rube Goldberg: Is He a Comic Genius? This is the question I had in mind as I took the #7 train to the Mets-Willets Point stop to see a comprehensive exhibition of the widely syndicated cartoonist and humorist Rube Goldberg, on view at the Queens Museum until February 9th, 2020. Some may ask: Who is Rube Goldberg? As one of the few people whose name is in the Merriam Webster dictionary describing a mechanical sequence of events that makes something simple, like closing a door, into a complex series of actions that are patently absurd and wildly humorous, today his name and cartoons do not get a lot of media play. Yet, his influence on other artists and filmmakers from Charlie Chaplin to Mad Magazine contributors is extensive. In this first retrospective exhibition of Goldberg’s work since 1970, the year he died, the whole range of his long career is on display in two galleries, which even include an outstanding drawing he made at the age of eleven. Best know for his Inventions Cartoons, the elaborate cartoon illustrations of absurd chain reactions that got his name in the dictionary, he was wildly creative as a comic illustrator and through his long career worked as a vaudeville comedian, political cartoonist, comic writer, sculptor, TV show host, and commercial novelty product developer. The Queens Museum exhibition shows a sampling of the full range and variety of his ideas and skills, from his Foolish Questions, his first big success in 1908, to his political commentary drawings from the 1940’s when he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize, and also some of his commercial forays into popular consumer novelties. -

Kathrine Switzer: How One Run Broke the Barrier of Discrimination in Women's Athletics
1 Kathrine Switzer: How One Run Broke the Barrier of Discrimination in Women’s Athletics Marlena Olson and Sam Newitt Junior Division Group Documentary Process Paper: 499 words 2 Kathrine Switzer challenged societal and legal barriers against women participating in distance running as the first woman to complete the Boston Marathon. Her landmark run increased women’s participation in sports and paved the way for the passage of Title IX. We are interested in running, and after initially researching Bobbi Gibb’s story, we discovered Kathrine Switzer. Switzer’s 1967 Boston Marathon run had a large amount of press coverage, which provided primary sources, and showed the cultural importance of her run. We began our research by reading secondary sources; we determined that a knowledge base was necessary to interpret primary sources. Next, we began locating primary sources, including photographs and newspapers from the 1960s. Additionally, a teacher suggested we interview Dr. Laura Raeder, who has run a marathon in every U.S. state. She provided insight on the integration of women in marathon running. Our school librarian assisted us in locating databases for both primary and secondary sources. We downloaded more than fifty historical newspaper articles from Newspapers.com, and we read Marathon Woman, Switzer’s autobiography. These primary sources helped demonstrate initial reactions from 1967. Although we located an abundance of sources, there was one source we sought but were not able to use: a direct interview with Kathrine Switzer. We emailed Switzer’s media director and requested a Skype interview. Switzer was not able to fulfill our request, however, the director sent us a press folder. -
