Civic Leadership Challenge 2020-2021 GSOSW is excited to present the Civic Leadership Challenge Patch Program! This patch program is all about identifying ways in which you already embody leadership in your communities and figuring out how to propel that into further action to create positive change in your world! Learn about different types of civic engagement, from traditional forms of participation like voting, to learning how to be a supportive neighbor and community member. Each month we will release three activity options under one theme. To earn the patch, complete one of the activities each month and record your experience in a “Civic Journal” that you design. You can record your experiences with writing, pictures, drawings, or any other reflections you may have as you complete activities. Look at the “How to record in your Civic Journal” step in each activity for ideas on how to reflect on what you’ve done for that month. Don’t worry if you miss a month, you can complete the activities in whatever order works best for you! Between March and April 2021, submit two selections from your Civic Journal via email to [email protected] to show us that you’ve earned the Civic Leadership patch! These patches can then be found at the GSOSW Shop online. Remember that when working on Girl Scout activities or projects like these, you must stay nonpartisan, and cannot make or communicate anything that favors or opposes a particular candidate who is running for office. Check the “?” within each month’s theme for more details on how to complete the activities while following Electioneering Guidelines for Girl Scouts. Some of the activities in this patch will require research online. Please make sure to review the Girl Scout Internet Safety Pledge with your adult before starting this patch program. 1 November: All About Voting November’s Civic Leadership Challenge is all about voting! This month you will make observations on the history of voting in our country, learn what you can do to help promote the vote today and encourage people who can vote to use their voices and make informed choices. A note on Electioneering Guidelines for Girl Scouts: Girl Scouts is nonpartisan, and we encourage each girl to form her own ideas, opinions, beliefs, and political ideology. To keep Girl Scout activities or projects nonpartisan, stay focused on the overall theme, rather than something that supports or opposes a particular candidate who is running for office. Below is a list of suggestions on how to engage in the following activities while remaining nonpartisan: ● If you choose Option Two: During this activity, you can encourage an adult to vote, but allow them to make their own informed decision about who they should vote for. ● If you choose Option Three: In this activity, you can make signs with general encouraging phrases like “Vote!”, but please refrain from including any candidate’s name on the sign. While you can absolutely support specific candidates in your personal life, you cannot do so through Girl Scout activities. OPTION ONE For Cadette, Senior and Ambassador Girl Scouts Learn about the history of various groups fighting for their right to vote (suffrage) nationally and in your own state. During this activity, you will develop a plan on how to make voting more accessible in your state and then present your ideas! Step One Investigate your state’s voting history. Use these questions to direct your research: ● Who could vote and when? ● How did they submit their ballot? ● Who wanted to stop who from voting and why? ● How did they become able to vote and how do they defend their right to vote to this day? 2 Not sure of where to start in your research? Try out these sites to get started! ● Vote411.org ● vote.gov ● Or try researching these topics: suffrage movements, abolitionist movements, Voting Rights Act Step Two What is the voting process like in your state now? Interview two adults in your life and ask them the following questions about their voting experience: ● Was the ballot easy to understand? ● Did they receive and use the voter’s pamphlet? ● Were they able to mail their ballot in or drop it off locally? ● Did they have time to fill it out/drop it off? ● Was it available in their language? Step Three Based on your findings, what ideas do you have to help make voting more accessible now? Using your research from Steps 1 and 2, write a proposal for how to make voting more accessible in your state. Then, send your written proposal to your Secretary of State OR present your ideas to your family and friends! If you’re having trouble thinking of ways to make voting easier, look into the guidelines for how people who are experiencing houselessness vote in Oregon. How might this process be improved by the government, nonprofits, organizations, etc.? Could local organizations serve as mailing addresses? Could nonprofits assist folks with transportation to pick up their ballots? How to record this activity in your Civic Journal: ● Send a copy of your letter to [email protected]. ● Send a video of you presenting your findings/ideas to friends/family to [email protected]. ● Write about your experience proposing your ideas in your Civic Journal. 3 OPTION TWO For all grade levels Have you checked out the GSUSA Promote the Vote program? You can work towards earning GSOSW’s Civic Leadership Challenge patch by completing any of the steps outlined in the Promote the Vote program. Below are some additional details on how to complete Step Two! Learn about how voting works in your state and then help an adult in your life make a voting plan. If your adult has already voted, interview them about their experience. Step One Ask your adult the following questions about voting in your state: ● In the past, who could vote and when? ● How did they vote? ● How do adults in your state vote now? ● Bonus Question: When is the earliest date that you can register to vote? Some states like Oregon allow you to “pre-register” to vote when you are 16! Step Two Help an adult who is registered to vote create a voting plan. ● Offer reminders leading up to election day to fill out their ballot and put in the mail (remember it takes time to mail a ballot) or drop it off at a Drop Box site (if you live in Oregon, your Drop Box Locator tool is offered through the Secretary of State’s Office) ● Did your adult already vote? Interview them about their experience- (Was the ballot easy to understand? Did they receive and use the voter’s pamphlet? Were they able to mail their ballot in or drop it off locally?) 4 How to record this activity in your Civic Journal: ● Send us a picture of you with the adult that you’re helping (do not include pictures of their ballot). ● Did your adult receive a virtual “I Voted” sticker? In Oregon these virtual stickers come in 11 different languages. Pictured: Oregon’s virtual “I Voted” sticker in Spanish. OPTION THREE For Daisy, Brownie and Junior Girl Scouts Get creative and give your community a reminder of the importance of voting! Many movements in the past and present use images to share their cause and encourage participation. Go online with your adult and research the history of Get Out the Vote signs and signage, then draw, decorate and display a piece of art encouraging people to vote. You can display this in a window so your neighbors can see, or even draw it with chalk on your sidewalk! Step One With help from your adult, look online for examples of images that have been used to encourage people to vote. Whether they are signs outside of polling places or home-made encouragements, they can all have an impact and remind people of their civic duty. ● Look at the picture on the main page of this article. What do you see? How are the women using signs and what message are they sharing? ● Look at the “Vote” graphic (right) from the Secretary of State’s office. Notice the connection to our state and the fact that it encourages voting without any candidate’s names specifically? Step 2: Design and decorate your own project to encourage adults around you to vote! You can use colored pencils and markers on paper, paint a yard sign, or even use chalk on your sidewalk! ● How to record this activity in your Civic Journal: ○ Take a picture of your project and send it to [email protected]. 5 Examples of Voting Artwork: Here’s a banner that can hang facing out a window- feel free to add some Girl Scout flare! Remember to make sure you are not referencing any particular candidate. A few girls joined together to decorate the Medford Service Center and to Chalk the Vote, a campaign by the Women’s History Consortium to share information about the history of voting rights and encourage people to exercise their right to vote! Bonus! Watch the All About Voting with Multnomah County Elections Facebook Live from September 15, 2020. Girl Scout Arielle interviewed Susy and Catherine from Multnomah County Elections about what the voting process looks like in Multnomah County. Watch the Path of the Ballot with Multnomah County Elections Facebook Live on October 29, 2020 to learn all about how ballots are counted and organized in our state. 6 December: Policy You may know about the process of how a bill becomes a law (cue the old Schoolhouse Rock song), but what does a bill actually contain? Just like your school or club might have certain rules, expectations, or customs, policy is a way that something is done and it is conveyed to others through a bill.

  • History of Mascot Characters and Yuru-Chara
    Doctoral Dissertation Academic Year 2018 Consumption of Images: Country-of-Origin Image and the Perception Gaps caused by Global Marketing of Cultural Commodities Keio University Graduate School of Media and Governance 81449421 SUTER JILLIAN RAE Abstract Globalization allows the for the consumption of goods produced around the world. It also allows for images to be created and viewed globally. Global marketing is advantageous to many markets and increases the number of possible consumers. However, with changing frames of reference, the perception of the image also changes. While this phenomenon did not unilaterally affect the marketing of most consumer goods, it could have a profound effect on the increasing global consumption of images. This is especially true in terms of countries and their soft power. Most research has focused the country-of-origin and the quality of the commodities when comparing countries global markets. As more commodities become digitalized and image-based, a stronger knowledge foundation on how images are perceived globally is necessary to avoid misunderstandings. In this dissertation, I show how images can be reinterpreted depending of their frames of reference or context changes. The first is a part of the research consisted of a global survey of American and Japanese school children and their impressions of a new children’s character analyzed with SPSS. The second part was three observational research field-trips to Japanese marketing events with Japanese mascot characters called Yuru-chara. These two parts of the research combined to show where the gaps in perception are for image-based commodities between Japan and the United States of America, particularly with children’s characters and Yuru-chara.

  • Initial Achievement Level Descriptors
    Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium: Technical Report Initial Achievement Level Descriptors CTB/McGraw-Hill April 26, 2013 Copyright © 2013 Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium Abstract The Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium held an Achievement Level Descriptor (ALD) Writing Workshop in October 2012 to draft an initial set of ALDs and to review and comment on a College Content-Readiness policy. Each of the 21 Smarter Balanced Governing States nominated representatives from kindergarten through Grade 12 (K-12) and from two- and four-year colleges and universities (Higher Education) to participate in the workshop. Thirty panelists representing K-12 and 21 panelists representing Higher Education all of whom demonstrated strong knowledge of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), over 11 years in their profession, and/or prior experience developing ALDs or learning outcome statements participated. The panel developed a set of Policy ALDs, Range ALDs, and Threshold ALDs for English language arts and mathematics and provided valuable feedback on the Smarter Balanced College Content-Readiness Policy. Workshop panelists examined both the Smarter Balanced Content Specifications and the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) to draft Policy, Range, and Threshold ALDs. Following the workshop, a series of three reviews took place: an internal review by Smarter Balanced staff, and two public review periods in which feedback was collected via an online survey. Content editors reviewed and revised each new draft and worked with Smarter Balanced staff and volunteer leaders to incorporate relevant substantive changes suggested to the draft ALDs. On March 20, 2013, the K-12 and Higher Education State Leads from the Governing States unanimously approved the ALDs.

An indispensable classic that defines the indefinable.” –John Zorn “Chusid takes us through the musical looking glass to the other side of the bizarro universe, where pop spelled back- wards is . pop? A fascinating collection of wilder cards and beyond-avant talents.” –Lenny Kaye Irwin Chusid “This book is filled with memorable characters and their preposterous-but-true stories. As a musicologist, essayist, and humorist, Irwin Chusid gives good value for your enter- tainment dollar.” –Marshall Crenshaw Outsider musicians can be the product of damaged DNA, alien abduction, drug fry, demonic possession, or simply sheer obliviousness. But, believe it or not, they’re worth listening to, often outmatching all contenders for inventiveness and originality. This book profiles dozens of outsider musicians, both prominent and obscure, and presents their strange life stories along with photographs, interviews, cartoons, and discographies.
