    MOLLY OF DENALI Episode Descriptions and Curriculum Episodes #101-139 NOTE: EPISODE NUMBERS ARE NOT IN BROADCAST ORDER EPISODE 101: Grandpa’s Drum Molly finds an old photo of Grandpa as a child and is shocked to see him singing and drumming—Grandpa never sings. When Grandpa tells her he lost his songs when he gave his drum away, Molly goes on a mission to find his drum and return his songs to him. Curriculum: IT Learning Goals: To compare texts and integrate information across multiple textual sources when reading or researching (this could, but need not, lead to writing or developing a presentation). Molly and Tooey look at landmarks in a photo taken in the past and compare them to how the landmarks look in the present. To use a variety of language, navigational, structural, and graphical text features (like a photograph) to help access (read, listen to, and/or view) or convey (write, speak, and/or present, including visually) meaning (which vary depending upon the type of informational text). Graphical Feature: Photograph. Molly and Tooey examine an old photograph to find clues that help them discover what town the photograph was taken in. Social Studies: Collect and examine photographs of the past and compare with similar, current images. Classify events as belonging to past or present. Molly compares an old photograph to new images of towns in Alaska to discover what town the photograph was taken in. Alaska Native Value: Honoring your elders. Knowing who you are — you are an extension of your family. Continuing the practice of Native traditions.

  • ANTA Theater and the Proposed Designation of the Related Landmark Site (Item No
    Landmarks Preservation Commission August 6, 1985; Designation List 182 l.P-1309 ANTA THFATER (originally Guild Theater, noN Virginia Theater), 243-259 West 52nd Street, Manhattan. Built 1924-25; architects, Crane & Franzheim. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1024, Lot 7. On June 14 and 15, 1982, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the ANTA Theater and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 5). The hearing was continued to October 19, 1982. Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Eighty-three witnesses spoke in favor of designation. Two witnesses spoke in opposition to designation. The owner, with his representatives, appeared at the hearing, and indicated that he had not formulated an opinion regarding designation. The Commission has received many letters and other expressions of support in favor of this designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The ANTA Theater survives today as one of the historic theaters that symbolize American theater for both New York and the nation. Built in the 1924-25, the ANTA was constructed for the Theater Guild as a subscription playhouse, named the Guild Theater. The fourrling Guild members, including actors, playwrights, designers, attorneys and bankers, formed the Theater Guild to present high quality plays which they believed would be artistically superior to the current offerings of the commercial Broadway houses. More than just an auditorium, however, the Guild Theater was designed to be a theater resource center, with classrooms, studios, and a library. The theater also included the rrost up-to-date staging technology.
