The guide is divided into mathematics and science sections, which each are subdivided into groupings: kindergarten through grade 2, grades 3 and 4, and grades 5 and 6. Many of the lessons can be adjusted for other grade levels. Each lesson has the following nine components:(1) concept statement; (2) instructional objectives;(3) male and female African American role models;(4) affective factors;(5) materials;(6) vocabulary; (7) teaching procedures;(8) follow-up activities; and (9) resources.

BACK TO THE FUTURE OF REGULATING ABORTION IN THE FIRST TERM Tracy A. Thomas * On the fortieth anniversary of Roe v. Wade , abortion and women’s reproductive rights remained front-page news. In the preceding two years, states had accelerated anti- abortion legislation and created new ways to restrict and discourage women’s exercise of their constitutional right. 1 The scope and extent of this legislation was unprecedented. In 2012, “19 states enacted 43 measures to limit abortion access. This was in addition to the 92 abortion restrictions enacted in 24 states in 2011.” 2 As the director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s Reproductive Freedom Project stated: “We’ve seen versions of this—the sort of chipping away at Roe —for many years.

  • The Media and the Movement: a User's Guide
    The Media and the Movement: A User's Guide GLORIA STEINEM DICTATORS KN.OW what they're doing when they seize control of the media even before seizing control of land or people. Image and narra- tive are the organizing principles on which our brains work, and the media deliver them with such power and speed that they may over- whelm our experience, actually make us feel less real than the people whose images we see. But media are not reality; reality is reality. After thirty-plus years of traveling as an organizer, I've learned that nothing replaces the experience of being there, Social justice movements (lived experience) will probably always be struggling with the media (derived impressions), and vice versa, yet neither can be credible for long-without the other. Two notes: I've defined "media" here as everything that represents reality, from newspapers and talk shows to the Internet.Movies, novels, poetry, ads, and other works of the imagination are crucial, too, but that's a different story; Second, I've used past examples that might offer ideas for the future. After all, if we don't learn to use the media, main- stream and alternate, global and local-and by "use" I mean monitor, infiltrate, replace, protest, teach with, create our own, whatever the sit- uation demands-we will not only be invisible in the present, but absent from history's first draft. Lesson 1:How the Movement Changed the Media In the 1960s, on the cusp of feminism, women were identified in print as "Miss" or "Mrs.," "divorcee" or "widow," "blonde" or "brunette," not to 103 THE MEDIA AND THE MOVEMENT 105 ~ A ~ A .•.••• " •• \J \J 1J 1" r U K.t.
