NOTE TO TEACHER The instructional resources listed in this guide are for the purpose of bringing enrichment of the arts and humanities to the social studies program.A wide variety of materials are suggested so that the teacher may select those which best fit the needs, talents, and abilities of his group. The suggested Related Activities and especially the Related Creative Activities may be carried out in the art, music, or physical education class or on the students' own time, if time is a shortage factor. Mutual teacher planning may make provision for such activities. At times the social studies teacher may wish to invite in the arts or music teacher to assist with the use of the materials, or they may be used in a team teaching situation. NOTE--INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCES ON NON-WESTERN CULTURES The forthcoming social studies curriculum of New York State' will concentrate on non-Western cultures at the 9th grade level. This media guide provides numerous resource materials relating to those cultures. The CUE television series, "Cultures and Continents," is completely de- voted to these areas. CUE will continue its research and provide a supplement to this guide containing further new resources on non-Western areas. It was decided to leave the materials on the other areas of the world in this media guide since it is used by teachers at other grade levels to locate resources. A new CUE television series called "Indian Fables and Legends," featuring Mrs. Muriel Wasi of the Indian Ministry of Education, is newly available from the Division of Educational Communications of the New York State Education Department. Supplementary materials to support this series will soon be forthcoming from the same source. Audio tape of the "Fables and Legends" and CUE "Insights" containing further legends are available for use. The titles of the "Indian Fables and Legends" and a synopsis of their content will be found on Page 183. FOREWORD Two recent trends in education met in an excitingstudy, known as Prbolec CUE, culture, understanding, enrichment.The first tread was the growing recognition on the part ofeducators and laymen, for doing a Witter job of teaching the arts, thahumanities, in the public schools. the second tend recognized the potential impactof a well organized "system" of instruction to support the teacher in his day-to-dayteaching. The emlbtuation of these two ideasprompted the United States Office of Education to give the New York StateEducation Department a grant to in- tegrate the arts into the curriculumthrough the technique of a carefully planned system of instruction, baJed uponmedia-materials, curriculum guides, and suggested methodology andtechniques for implementing the program.The Division of Educational Communicationsand the Bureau of Secondary Curriculum were assigned the task of operating theproject under the directorship of Dr. Robert Brown andMrs. Grace N. Lacy. Although the teaching of the humanities has beentaking place in many schools in the country for many years, thestudy being made by the Education Department represented several different approaches. First, it was decided that thehumanities were for all students and not just for a' select few, who chose to elect a specialhumanities course at a particular grade level. Second, the humanities are part of all subject area content and should be recognized and appreciated inthat context.Third, a care- fully prepared program of media, materialsand methodology could enable the teacher and student to teach and learnin a superior way.With these three points in mind, 13 experimental schools wereselected to integrate the humanities program into the ninth gradecurriculum. In July, 1963, nine teaCher consultants came toAlbany to select the materials suitable to their subject areas.They then wrote lesson plans for use of the materials, under thedirection of Mrs. Lacy.The lesson plans were edited by the Bureau of SecondaryCurriculum and the assigned subject matter specialists, published, and sent tothe 13 project schools. Packager of the chosen materials wereassembled and sent to the schools by the Division of Educational Communications. Nks. Lacy visited all schools toorient the teachers to the program and explain the CUE system. Curriculum and audiovisual coordinators in each school acted as liason personsbetween the school and the CUE staff. Throughout the year the materials and guides wereused and evaluated by the CUE teachers.As a result of one year's use, thematerials and guides have been revised and upgraded is thelight of the criticisms and suggestions of more than 250 teachers. Dr. Brown conducted testing inall schools before and after the cultural materialhad been used. Special acknowledgement should beexpressed to each individual who participated in Project CUE.Since this is impossible, due to thelarge numbers that have contributed to the effort, the Departmentcan only recognise in a general way, the help given by the United States Office of Education; the National Art Gallery; the teachers, coordinators and administrators in the thirteen project schools; the special writers and subject aret, supervisors; the staff of the Division of Educational Communications and the Bureau of Secondary Curriculum; and themanu- facturers and producers of the media- materials used. Lee E. Campion Director, Division of Educational Communications Hugh N. Flick Associate Commissioner for Cultural Education and Special Services ADDENDUM CUE has now been renewed for a thirdyear by the United States Office of Education (1965-66). Interest in the project has become wide- spread throughout the State,and requests for the guidesand information about the project come in from many parts of thecountry. A new "Do-It- Yourself Guide," which gives helpful informationto those schools inter- ested in implementing the CUE system, isnow available. Use of this guide, CUE subject guides, and materials lists enableany school to benefit from CUE's pioneer research in arts andhumanities integration through media and a "systems" approach.

  • Ancient Mesopotamia
    Mesopotamia Before History Began In prehistoric times, small bands of people roamed the hills to the North and East of the Fertile Crescent. They slept in temporary camps and hunted for food. Around 7000 B.C.E. they started to build towns. Life was easier for babies and children in the new settlements and more people lived to be adults. Eventually, there were not enough fields to support the people. They had to search for more land and they found a fertile plain bordered by two rivers, the Tigris and Euphrates. The name Mesopotamia comes from two Greek words that mean “middle” and “river”. It was located between the forest region of northern Europe and Asia. Mesopotamia is a land surrounded by the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. The Euphrates is about 600 miles longer than the Tigris, but the Tigris carries more water. In ancient times, both were used for fishing, transportation and irrigation. The plain that became Mesopotamia had good farmland. The rivers carried soil down from the mountains and there was plenty of sunshine. However, there was not much rain. Plants need water to grow. There was plenty of water in the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. Sumerian farmers learned to dig ditches and make water flow into the fields. This caused enough wheat and barley to grow to feed hundreds of people. This was one of the first uses of irrigation in the world. People began making pottery for carrying water, storing seed and preparing food. In Mesopotamia, building houses was difficult because there was little wood or stone so they learned how to make mud bricks.

TheThe Southeastern Southeastern AnatoliaAnatolia ProjectProject (GAP) (GAP) TEACHER NOTES GOALS This case study was created to help students understand the complexities of large-scale construction and development projects. Such projects often inspire an optimistic outlook; students will get a better sense of the many different benefits that such projects can have and the ways in which quality of life can be dramatically improved. At the same time, students will learn that such projects have side effects, both positive and negative, that can extend across geo-political boundaries. ASSESSMENT EVIDENCE Take a Stand: Students will assume one of six roles and determine how the Southeastern Anatolia Project (GAP) would benefit or harm the person in that role.

Evapotranspiration enhancement drives the European water-budget deficit during multi-year droughts Christian Massari1,*, Francesco Avanzi2, Giulia Bruno2, 4, Simone Gabellani2, Daniele Penna3, and Stefania Camici1 1National Research Council (CNR), Research Institute for Geo-Hydrological Protection, Perugia, 06126, Italy 2Cima Research Foundation, 17100, Savona, Italy 3University of Florence, Firenze, Italy 4University of Genoa, DIBRIS, 16145, Genova, Italy *[email protected] Correspondence: Christian Massari ([email protected]) Abstract. In a warming climate, periods with below-than-average precipitation will increase in frequency and intensity. During such periods, known as meteorological droughts, sparse but consistent pieces of evidence show that the decline in annual runoff may be proportionally larger than the corresponding decline in precipitation (e.g., -40% vs. -20%). Reasons behind this exacerbation 5 of runoff deficit during dry periods remain largely unknown, which challenges generalization at larger scales (i.e., beyond the single catchment), as well as the predictability of when this exacerbation will occur and how intense it will be. Here, we tested the hypothesis that runoff-deficit exacerbation during droughts is a common feature of droughts across climates and is driven by evapotranspiration enhancement. We support this hypothesis by relying on multidecadal records of streamflow and precipitation for more than 200 catchments across various European climates, which distinctively show the emergence of similar periods of 10 exacerbated runoff deficit identified in previous studies, i.e., runoff deficit on the order of -20% to -40% less than what expected from precipitation deficit.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract In a world where the amount of resources is constant and unchanging but where their use and exploitation is growing because of the rapid population growth, a rise in standards of living and the development of industrialization, the resource of water has become a critical issue in the foreign relations between different states. As a result of this many research scholars claim that, today, we are facing the beginning of the "Geopolitical era of water". The danger of conflict of water is especially severe in the Middle East which is characterized by the low level of precipitation and high temperatures. The Middle Eastern countries have been involved in a constant state of political tension and the gap between the growing number of inhabitants and the fixed supply of water and land has been a factor in contributing to this tension.
