  • 1 the Outer Banks Brogue Overview North Carolina's Outer Banks Is
    The Outer Banks Brogue “We’re losing our heritage basically. I mean…we’re going from a fishing community to more like a tourism community…And you don’t realize it, but you slowly adapt to a new way of life. And it ain’t nothing negative, but it ain’t nothing positive.” –Bubby Boos, resident of Ocracoke Island Overview North Carolina’s Outer Banks is one of the most geographically, historically, and culturally distinct areas in the state and along the entire Atlantic Seaboard. In this lesson, students will explore one of the more distinctive aspects that makes the North Carolina coastal area so culturally rich – its dialect. For several centuries, the small villages dotting the barrier islands of North Carolina and the adjacent coastal mainland harbored one of the most distinctive varieties of English in the United States, the so-called “Outer Banks Brogue.” Through reading, discussion, and interaction with audio and visual clips, students will not only have the chance to hear the Brogue, but also begin to think about how the history and geography of North Carolina resulted in such diverse language qualities. Students will culminate their exploration by experimenting with a long-time Outer Banks tradition – storytelling – in which they practice integrating some of the unique words and pronunciations of the region. Grade 8 NC Essential Standards • 8.H.3.2 - Explain how changes brought about by technology and other innovations affected individuals and groups in North Carolina and the United States. • 8.H.3.4 - Compare historical and contemporary issues to understand continuity and change in the development of North Carolina and the United States.

INSTITUTION North Carolina State Dept. of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Raleigh. PUB DATE Aug 94 NOTE 71p. PUB TYPE Guides Non-Classroom Use (055) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC03 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Conservation (Environment); Earth Science; Environmental Education; Experiential Learning; *Geology; Geophysics; High Schools; Learning Activities; *Minerals; *Outdoor Education IDENTIFIERS *Environmental Awareness; Erosion; Geologic Time; Pilot Mountain State Park NC; *Rocks ABSTRACT This activity packet provides educators with a series of hands-on classroom and outdoor education activities for grades 9-12 that focus on geology using the Pilot Mountain State Park. The packet was designed to meet established curriculum objectives of the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction's Standard Course of Study. Three types of activities are included:(1) pre-visit classroom activities provide background and vocabulary development; (2) on-site activities conducted at the park; and (3) post-visit classroom activities to reinforce concepts, skills, and vocabulary. This learning experience exposes students to the major concepts of classes of rocks, physical properties of rocks and minerals, formation of rocks and minerals, weathering and erosion, geologic processes, rock and mineral identification, rock cycles, and geologic time. The packet contains an introduction to the geologic history of Pilot Mountain; an activity summary; pre-visit, on-site, and post-visit activity objectives and instructions; a glossary; a list of 14 references; a scheduling worksheet and program evaluation form; and instructions on conducting a daily meal production plan.

  • Authorize Dan River State Trail
    HOUSE BILL 360: Authorize Dan River State Trail. 2021-2022 General Assembly Committee: House Rules, Calendar, and Operations of the Date: April 22, 2021 House Introduced by: Reps. K. Hall, Carter Prepared by: Kellette Wade Analysis of: First Edition Staff Attorney OVERVIEW: House Bill 360 would authorize the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources (Department) to add the Dan River Trail to the State Parks System. CURRENT LAW: The State Parks Act provides that a trail may be added to the State Parks System by the Department upon authorization by an act of the General Assembly. All additions are required to be accompanied by adequate authorization and appropriations for land acquisition, development, and operations. BILL ANALYSIS: House Bill 360 would authorize the Department to add the Dan River Trail to the State Parks System as a State Trail. The use of any segment of the trail crossing property not owned by the Department's Division of Parks and Recreation would be governed by the laws, rules, and policies established by that segment's owner. This addition would be exempt from having to be accompanied by adequate appropriations for land acquisition, development, and operations. Lands needed to complete the trail would be acquired either by donations to the State or by using existing funds in the Land and Water Fund, the Parks and Recreation Trust Fund, the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund, and other available sources of funding. EFFECTIVE DATE: This act would be effective when it becomes law. BACKGROUND: The Dan River is important to North Carolina, flowing 214 miles through Virginia and North Carolina, crossing the state line 8 times.

  • December 2015 Volume 2 Number 6 Susan Kluttzt Governor Secretary, DNCR Governor Launches Connect NC Campaign at Stone Mountain Gov
    DIGEST www.ncparks.gov Pat McCrory December 2015 Volume 2 Number 6 Susan Kluttzt Governor Secretary, DNCR Governor launches Connect NC campaign at Stone Mountain Gov. Pat McCrory’s launch of the $2 billion Connect NC bond campaign included a stop at Stone Moun- tain State Park Oct. 22, where he signed a ceremonial copy of the 2015 legislation and touted the proposal’s benefits to the state parks system. If approved by voters in March, the Connect NC bonds would direct $75 million to 45 projects in state parks, recreation areas and natural areas across North Carolina. The identified projects include: $20.8 million for new or improved visitor centers and community buildings in 11 parks; $18.8 million for new or expanded campgrounds and cabins in 12 parks; $21.3 million for other visitor facilities in 12 parks; and, $14.1 million for land acquisition at 10 park units. “Today, we are enjoying and benefiting from the invest- ments made by our parents and grandparents,” McCrory said. “New university and community college facilities and improved state parks are long-term investments that will support our growth and make North Carolina more attractive to businesses and residents.” The Governor spoke to a crowd of more than 100 support- ers along a trail below the granite face of Stone Mountain. He introduced Robert Orr, former associate justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court, who heads a bipartisan committee to advocate for passage of the bond referendum. A complete overview of the Connect NC bond proposal is at www.connect.nc.gov.
