It is important to allow children and teens/young adults to have a chance to use primary materials to see history through their eyes. Curriculum plans available by grade, era, and topic on the Chronicling America Site! Example: Grades 3-8 Dust Bowl: Use of Karen Hesse’s Newbery Award-winning “Out of the Dust” as an introduction to this event, identify with the personal experiences of youth in the 1930s, and then students correlate the fictional text with actual visual, auditory, and manuscript accounts. Objectives: Students will be able to: 1- examine primary source materials to gain knowledge of the Dust Bowl; 2- use historical fiction to understand the human aspect of the Dust Bowl experience; 3- relate primary source materials from American Memory collections to passages, characters, and events from the novel; 4- develop research skills and strategies, such as keyword searches, for finding information. Credit Jan King and Rena Nisbet www.nvdnp.wordpress.com | www.chroniclingamerica.loc.gov K-12 USE OF CHRONICLING AMERICA http://www.loc.gov/ndnp/extras/ & http://www.loc.gov/teachers/classroommaterials/ K-12 Example: Grades 9-12 American Indian Reservation Controversies: Introduce students to events around the 1870s – Use PBL (Problem Based Learning) in which the student is confronted or faced with a real world problem which has no preconceived right or wrong answers. Using various teaching/learning strategies, which include brainstorming, role playing, and oral presentations, the students access primary sources and other background sources to arrive at a recommendation, based on the information. The teacher, librarian, and other support staff act as guides or advisors through most of the process. Objectives: Students will be able to: 1-Use primary sources effectively to gain an understanding of the history of government relations, policies, and experiences with American Indian peoples. 2-Become effective users of historic newspapers via Chronicling America Topic American Indian History Era Rise of Industrial America, 1876-1900 Progressive Era to New Era, 1900-1929 What would they find?

Stopping the flow of financial support to terrorist organizations will diminish the intensity and frequency of the attacks and ideally lead to a cessation of such attacks. One country may be able to establish barriers to terrorist financing through government sanctions. These barriers will not stop terrorist financing; but rather, it will divert it to another country.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. “Reds Driven Off”: the US Media’s Propaganda During the Gulf of Tonkin Incident Abstract In 2008, the Annenburg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania conducted a poll to determine just how informed voters were following that year’s presidential election. One of the most shocking things they found was that 46.4% of those polled still believed that Saddam Hussein played a role in the terrorist attacks on the US on September 11th, 2001. No evidence had ever emerged linking him to it after 5 years of war in Iraq, but that did not matter, as “voters, once deceived, tend to stay that way despite all evidence.” Botched initial reporting can permanently entrench false information into the public’s mind and influence them ot come to faulty conclusions as a result. This power of first impressions gives journalists an immense and solemn responsibility when conveying events.

In light of the historic change in the law of seditious libel in the United States as a result of the case and the need for further exploration of the human factors behind the case, this article explains how Justice Brennan’s instrumentalist judicial philosophy had an important influence on changing the course of legal protection for speech critical of the government.

The iV sual Documentation of Antietam: Peaceful Settings, Morbid Curiosity, and a Profitable Business Abstract On September 17, 1862, Confederate General Robert E. Lee led the Army of Northern Virginia into Sharpsburg, Maryland to confront Federal General George McClellan and the Army of the Potomac. The battle that followed became the single bloodiest day in American history. There were approximately 25,000 American casualties and battlefields were left in desolation, strewn with corpses needing burial. The aB ttle of Antietam, or Sharpsburg, is a well-documented and important battle of the ivC il War. Endless research has been done regarding its impact on the war, military strategies, and politics. However, there is a unique aspect of Antietam which merits closer attention: its visual documentation.

  • 9/11 on the 'Net: Risk and Uncertainty in Hindsight
    Intersect, Volume 2, Number 1 (2009) 9/11 on the ‘net: Risk and Uncertainty in Hindsight Judd Anderman Stanford University The events that unfolded on Tuesday, September 11, 2001, simultaneously shocked a nation and changed the world. Indeed, the executive summary of the 9/11 Commission Report begins, "At 8:46 on the morning of September 11, 2001, the United States became a nation transformed," (“Final Report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks upon the United States, Executive Summary,” 2004, p. 1). In the aftermath of the terrorist attacks, wars have been waged, civil liberties upended, and a vague uneasiness, an undefined fear, continues to hang over our hearts and minds. 9/11 catapulted a new and terrifying risk into the limelight; 9/11 made the threat of terrorism manifest for a stunned public and an unprepared federal government. My aim in this paper is not to describe the terrorists' plot and acts in detail, nor will I discuss historical antecedents or political motives involved; instead, I wish to explore 9/11 and its discourses within the context of our modern-day risk society. I will focus on the role played by the internet in shaping, enabling, coupling or juxtaposing, and filtering individual and institutional preparations and responses to September 11. How was the internet used to prepare for and manage this risk? How has it since been used to communicate knowledge of this risk or similar threats? Which institutions and individuals have been key players? How, if at all, has the internet, which has rapidly become one of the most pervasive technologies of this age, changed our relationship to risk? I was inspired to pursue this avenue of research in large part by an encounter with Nicholas Nassim Taleb's (2007) recent book, The Black Swan.
