    IINTRODUCTIONNTRODUCTION Photo caption. Photo caption. Preliminary Experience Create a Journal from an Altered Book OBJECTIVES A TEACHING GUIDE FOR GRADE 4 AArtrtrtSmaSSmart:mart:t: Indiana INDIANA’S VISUAL ARTS AND ARTISTS The fi rst ArtSmart: Indiana was a major educational and public program of the Greater Lafayette Art Museum (now the Art Museum of Greater Lafayette), created to meet the goal of improving visual literacy, museum education skills, and awareness of the development of art in Indiana. The original program, (1986) written by Susan O. Chavers, and implemented by Sharon Smith Theobald, was a nontraditional multidisciplinary approach that was well received by Hoosier teachers who included ArtSmart: Indiana in their curricular plans. A copy of the ArtSmart: Indiana 200 page Resource Guide was sent to every library throughout Indiana, with the support of Pam Bennett at the Indiana Historical Bureau. The current revision of ArtSmart: Indiana, as a web-based initiative, is a Partnership Education Program of the Art Museum of Greater Lafayette and The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis. Special appreciation is extended to Dr. Jeffrey Patchen, President and CEO, and Mary Fortney, Educational Resource Development Manager, The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis. The updated ArtSmart: Indiana project was funded by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services with additional support from the McAllister Foundation to launch the McAllister Art Smart: Indiana Technology Center. Also, Randolph Deer, Indianapolis, and The North Central Health Services helped underwrite the additional printings of the The Art Smart: Indiana Resource Catalog and The Teaching Guide.

  • Fall 2006 an Incident in Bataan Lt
    Philippine Scouts Heritage Society Preserving the history, heritage, and legacy of the Philippine Scouts for present and future generations Fall 2006 An Incident in Bataan Lt. Col. Frank O. Anders, the S-2 (intelligence) officer, for the 57th Infantry is now deceased. He distinguished himself during the defense of Bataan by frequently infiltrating behind Japanese lines collecting intelligence. For his courage, he received a Bronze Star with Oak Leaf Cluster. Surviving combat and POW incarceration, he wrote “Bataan: An Incident” in 1946 while recovering from injuries that would lead to his retirement shortly thereafter. His family connection to the Philippines stretched over two generations, as Anders’ father served in Manila during the Spanish American War, receiving a Medal of Honor, the nation’s highest military award for valor in combat. In 1961 father and son visited the Philippines together to retrace the paths each had taken in his own war. Because of its length, the Anders article will be serialized over two issues. It also is being published in the current issue of the Bulletin of the American Historical Collection, Ateneo de Manila University in the Philippines. Editor by Lt. Col. Frank O.

  • World War Ii in the Philippines
    WORLD WAR II IN THE PHILIPPINES The Legacy of Two Nations©2016 Copyright 2016 by C. Gaerlan, Bataan Legacy Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. World War II in the Philippines The Legacy of Two Nations©2016 By Bataan Legacy Historical Society Several hours after the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the Philippines, a colony of the United States from 1898 to 1946, was attacked by the Empire of Japan. During the next four years, thou- sands of Filipino and American soldiers died. The entire Philippine nation was ravaged and its capital Ma- nila, once called the Pearl of the Orient, became the second most devastated city during World War II after Warsaw, Poland. Approximately one million civilians perished. Despite so much sacrifice and devastation, on February 20, 1946, just five months after the war ended, the First Supplemental Surplus Appropriation Rescission Act was passed by U.S. Congress which deemed the service of the Filipino soldiers as inactive, making them ineligible for benefits under the G.I. Bill of Rights. To this day, these rights have not been fully -restored and a majority have died without seeing justice. But on July 14, 2016, this mostly forgotten part of U.S. history was brought back to life when the California State Board of Education approved the inclusion of World War II in the Philippines in the revised history curriculum framework for the state. This seminal part of WWII history is now included in the Grade 11 U.S. history (Chapter 16) curriculum framework. The approval is the culmination of many years of hard work from the Filipino community with the support of different organizations across the country.

  • The Battling Bastards of Bataan
    The Battling Bastards of Bataan They were starving, sick. Many were untrained. Their weapons were obsolete. And their top general lived elsewhere. Bataan’s defenders were truly on their own. By Richard Sassaman Major Marshall Hurt was not having a good morning. Around midnight, he and Colonel Everett Williams, both bachelors on Major General Edward King’s staff, had volunteered to try to find a Japanese officer who would accept the surrender of King’s 75,000 American and Filipino defenders of the Bataan peninsula. The next hours of the Battle of Bataan were filled with noise and confusion. “The roads were jammed with soldiers who had abandoned arms and equipment in their frantic haste to escape from the advancing Japanese infantry and armored columns and the strafing planes overhead,” wrote Louis Morton in his book The Fall of the Philippines (1953). At 2 a.m. on April 9, 1942, Filipino and American troops who had been trapped on the Bataan peninsula of the Philippines’ Luzon island for three months began exploding their TNT storehouses and hundreds of thousands of rounds of small-arms ammunition and artillery shells to keep them out of Japanese hands. Adding to the chaos, just before midnight a severe earthquake had rumbled through the area. Leaving at 3:30 a.m., on a schedule they hoped would put them on the front lines about dawn, the two officers headed north on Bataan’s East Road against a tide of what Hurt later described as “crouching, demoralized, beaten foot soldiers” fleeing south. Their route led “past blown-up tanks, burning trucks, broken guns.” Their car soon became useless.

  • Commonlit | Abolishing Slavery: the Efforts of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln
    Name: Class: Abolishing Slavery: The Efforts of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln By Mike Kubic 2017 The American Civil War (1861-1865) was fought within the United States between the Union and the Confederacy. While there were several causes for the conflict between the North and South, the South’s desire to maintain slavery was a major point of disagreement. Frederick Douglass, who was born a slave and became an abolitionist, often discussed abolishing slavery with President Abraham Lincoln. This informational text further discusses the relationship between Douglass and Lincoln, and their efforts to abolish slavery. As you read, take notes on Douglass’ and Lincoln’s perspectives on the abolition of slavery. [1] For the Union soldiers and civilians during the American Civil War, the majestic Battle Hymn of the Republic spoke of assurance that, in President Abraham Lincoln’s immortal words, “a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal, can endure.” But for America’s nearly four million oppressed and exploited Black people, the song’s solemn vow that “The Truth is Marching on!” had, above all, an intensely personal meaning: it promised them freedom from slavery. It was their good fortune that for one of them, an outstanding leader named Frederick Douglass, the truth was marching too slowly, and he made it his life’s mission to make it move faster. "Frederick Douglass appealing to President Lincoln and his cabinet to enlist Negroes mural" by William Edouard Scott is in the public domain. Born as a slave on a Maryland plantation, he shared the suffering and indignities of his millions of peers: he did not know who was his father (but believed that it was his white master); and he rarely saw his mother because she worked on a distant farm, and died young.
