Background Support Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon, is a small island off the southern coast of India. Well over a quarter million Sri Lankans live in Canada, most of them in Toronto. Many emigrated because of civil war between the minority Tamils and majority Sinhalese in their homeland. Before Immigration involves moving from one country to another. Often this means leaving family, friends, and most everything that is familiar. Using your personal experience or your imagination, describe what it would be like to leave your home and start a new life somewhere else. • Students refl ect on − how they felt (or would feel) leaving behind their home, other family members, friends, and their community − how they prepared (or would prepare) mentally for such a move − how they felt (or would feel) arriving in their new home. • Ask students to explain why they felt (or would feel) each emotion. • Students share their thoughts with a partner or record their thoughts in their journals. During This story is about a Sri Lankan immigrant family living in Toronto. You will encounter some foreign words, foods, celebrations, and historical references that may be unfamiliar to you. As you read, look for context clues you can use to understand these words and references. • Students use BLM 1 to record unfamiliar words and references they encounter as they read. • Encourage them to consider − whether there are suffi cient context clues to help them understand the meaning and, if so, what they are − what strategies to use when encountering words whose meanings they cannot fi gure out from the context − whether knowing the meaning of these words is essential to understanding and appreciating the selection. Example: Essential to know in order If no, what to understand? Context strategy Word/ (yes/no) Word/ clues? If yes, what did you use reference Why or why reference (yes/no) are they? to fi nd out? meaning not? Ceylon Yes Reference Sri Lanka’s Yes—establishes to Lucky name from important detail growing up in 1948 to 1972 about family Ceylon background Johnny Yes Reference Actor who No—can Weissmuller to “double played Tarzan understand features” in movies in Lucky’s tropical the 1930s and heroics without 1940s understanding the reference Selection Support: There Are No Coconut Trees in... MHR Custom 5 After 1. Reading for Meaning The cardboard box represents hopes, adventures, and dreams. It also represents disappointment and reality. Explain, with specifi c reference to the text, how the author uses the symbol of the box to represent these things. • Th e following passages indicate the box as a symbol of hopes, adventures, and dreams: − “I wondered, a little hopeful, if there might be a leopard girl inside that box.” − “I have brought you boys the best gift s from the best of countries.” − “But when I heard the box jiggle and thud into the trunk I had another idea. Maybe this was no cat girl, but some parts from one of those German U-boats inside.” • Th e following passages indicate the box as a symbol of disappointment and reality: − “Th e cardboard box was a big shiny disappointment. No treasure inside, and the gift wasn’t even for us, but for my mother.” − “I mumbled because I was shy, but also because I had become a cynic about the possibility of anything good coming of it.” • To check on students’ understanding of the concept of “symbol,” ask them to Assessment for Learning explain the meaning of the coconut monkey head (e.g., to Oscar, it represents his homeland; to Piyal, it represents his family’s past, which he has dismissed). Listen in as students share their explanations with a partner, or ask students to answer this question on an exit card or in a journal. 2. Understanding Form and Style Toronto is mentioned in the title of this story. This tells the reader that Toronto, as the setting of the story, is important. How does the author use the setting to develop the plot of this story? • Toronto provides the context in which the confl ict between Piyal and Siya (i.e., their diff ering ties to Sri Lanka and their diff ering hopes and expectations, as symbolized by the gift of the coconut monkey head) develops. • Even Piyal’s and Siya’s perceptions of Toronto confl ict with one another. For Piyal, Toronto is a city of apartment buildings that look like giant bars of chocolate and cars that, from above, look like toys. For Siya, Toronto is nothing more than “a boxy landscape” and “a place-setting for homeward gazing.” • Although the story occurs in a particular time and place, the story’s themes (e.g., family relationships, identity, and hope and disappointment) are universal. 3. Critical Literacy There is a kind of opposition in this story with the Canadian-born brothers on one side, and their Sri Lankan-born parents and grandfather on the other. The youngsters are forward looking, while their elders are fi xated on Sri Lanka. Which side is the author on? How do you know? • Students who think that the author is on the brothers’ side might point out his description of the city as an exciting place, with apartment buildings that look like giant bars of chocolate; cars that look, from above, like a Matchbox set; and black roads that are “as smooth as a barbershop shave.” Th ey might also point out the way in which the author describes Piyal’s disappointment with the coconut monkey head from Back Home.

  • Where It All Began
    Council of Ravens Roost - SPOTLIGHT Page 1 of 3 March 2005 Volume I - 05-03 WHERE IT ALL BEGAN FROM THE BEGINNING Ravens Roost No.1 started in 1957 as Colts Corral #1. Under the leadership of Leo Novak and Ed Loud, and along with the blessings of Don Kellett, general manager, and Ray Gilland of the Baltimore Colts, the era of the Baltimore Football Fan Club was birthed. The first official meeting was May 18, 1957 at Hahn's Hall on Washington and Jefferson Streets in Baltimore City. Meetings were held twice monthly during the football season, and once monthly during the off-season. The Colts Corral Logo Some of the famous visitors to the Corral meetings in the early years included Don Kellett, Weeb Eubank, Joe Croghan, L.G. Dupre, John Steadman, Johnny Unitas, Art Donovan, Bailey Goss, Joe Bellino, and other players on the Navy football team. In October 1957, Colts Corral #2 was formed with Hurst Loudenslager as president. 'Loudy' as he was known, was instrumental in the formation of the Council of Colts Corrals in 1964. 'Loudy' was a Colts fan icon in the 60's and 70's. By July 1959 the football fervor had grown to four Corrals. In 1961 Corral #1 had its first Annual Appreciation Dinner for the Colts Head Coach Weeb Eubank and his coaching staff. This event continued for many years. During the late 1950's, 1960's and early 1970's, Colts Corral #1 was a leader in booking trips to out of town games by charter airplane, bus, or train.

Williams Stadium, named in honor of A.L. Williams, is located near the entrance of the campus and has been the home of the foot- ball program since 1989. The football stadium seats 12,000 with expansion capabilities up to 36,000. During the summer of 2006, a 60,000- square foot facility was completed in the North end zone of the stadium as the Williams Football Operation Center became the football program’s new home off the field. The new, state-of-the-art facility gives Liberty one of the nicest I-AA football facilities in the nation, housing coaching and support staff offices, a spacious locker room, academic learning areas, a training room and a weight room. The centerpiece of the facility is a 3,000 square foot room that overlooks Williams Stadium where Flames Club members can watch home games.
