Order! 7 On the concept of timelines and chronology ACTIVITY 2 Documenting the Rock 10 Expanding our understanding of the natural world ACTIVITY 3 From our own correspondent 12 Making the past into the present ACTIVITY 4 What’s in a name? 14 Exploring the stories behind the names around Gibraltar ACTIVITY 5 Weaving a narrative thread 15 Identifying and creating an original narrative through time ACTIVITY 6 My favourite characters 16 Getting to know Gibraltar’s characters ACTIVITY 7 Your own timeline 17 Developing a personal narrative of Gibraltar’s history ACTIVITY 8 What’s next? 18 How understanding the past can help predict the future INTRODUCTION This pack has been created for use alongside The Story of Gibraltar book. It contains eight activities for students, parents and teachers to do together. Each activity is aimed at developing one or more core skills of Memory, Narrative, Storytelling, Visualisation, Imagination, Numeracy, Research, Literacy, Discussion, Communication and Historical Perspective. A Curiosity Manifesto! Learn how to use this activity pack alongside The Story of Gibraltar to encourage a lifelong love of learning. TWO THINGS MATTER MOST WHEN CHILDREN LAUNCH INTO THE WORLD. First, they must have a treasure trove of general knowledge; second, they must carry with them a lifelong love of learning. The reason is because today’s digital economy is overturning tradition daily, and the future is now in the hands of those creative people who thrive on change and who can combine a variety of skills to accomplish as-yet-unimagined goals. To bring up the next generation with both a general understanding of the world and a thirst for learning is a task of great importance for teachers and parents, who are our children’s first educators and primary role models. I began to create the series of timelines after watching my elder daughter, Matilda, then aged eight, grow frustrated at school but remain eager to engage with her innate curiosity, her natural drive to explore the world around her. Facilitating her free-ranging exploration taught me three key lessons, all of which have shaped the series. These insights also underpin the activities presented here, which I hope you will want to explore with your students. 3 THE STORY OF GIBRALTAR EDUCATOR’S PACK Introduction – A Curiosity Manifesto! Download this pack at www.whatonearthbooks.com/gibraltar LESSON 1 – Curiosity and Connection Curiosity seeks and makes connections. Cram a brain with shards of unrelated information, take a step back, and the effect is like trying to see through a pane of shattered glass. Clear vision comes only from connecting the things we learn. We can help children achieve this more complete understanding by combining subjects into a rich tapestry of narratives that span everything from history, geography and maths to music, art, politics and technology. Curiosity serves the imagination, it empowers children to ask unique questions, develop critical skills and propels them on their own personal journeys to discover the extraordinary world they live in. LESSON 2 – Choice and Reward Choices appeal to us all. We like to choose what we eat or buy, where we live, what we believe. Individual well-being thrives on choice, because a natural reward, in the form of a chemical called dopamine kicks into action when the brain is presented with a choice and enabled to act on it. LESSON 3 – Memory and Visual Context Human brains have powers of memory that developed over millions of years, long before we invented written words and arithmetical symbols. They have evolved to process information and understand the world primarily through image recognition. Illustrated narratives are extremely powerful for learning because they enter the memory directly, without the need for unnatural translation. 4 THE STORY OF GIBRALTAR EDUCATOR’S PACK Introduction – A Curiosity Manifesto! Download this pack at www.whatonearthbooks.com/gibraltar A WORLD OF VISUAL TIMELINES THESE THREE LESSONS – connection, choice and visual memory – underpin the format, structure and design of The Story of Gibraltar. This is a book that can be read conventionally or unfolded to reveal a giant, interconnected narrative built out of scores of pictures and captions. Timelines are visual narratives that give users a choice. You begin and end your journeys where and when you want, but without ever getting lost. You do not have to start at the beginning and journey to the end. You can start in the middle and go backwards, or start at the end and go to the beginning. You construct the narrative. Timelines also allow you to see multiple events taking place at any one time, connecting seemingly unconnected events. The Story of Gibraltar also uses flags and symbols to illustrate the impact of cultures, nations and religions on Gibraltar’s history, making connections easy. I should also warn you that when children spend time with What on Earth? timelines they inevitably find out many things that their parents and teachers do not know. And of course nothing makes a young person happier than showing off superior knowledge. So prepare to be amazed! Because of its size, children often look at a timeline together with their teachers, friends and parents, and inevitably everyone will notice different things. The result is a communal learning experience electrified through discussion and discovery. 5 THE STORY OF GIBRALTAR EDUCATOR’S PACK Introduction – A Curiosity Manifesto! Download this pack at www.whatonearthbooks.com/gibraltar THIS ACTIVITY BOOK All the activities in this pack can be modified, adapted and extended in any way you like. They are not designed to be followed to the word. They are merely guide posts, suggestions of some of the countless ways in which knowledge can be explored together. In general, these activities are suitable for children ages 7–13. A suggested age group is listed for each individual activity. It is our sincere hope that the activities in this pack will demonstrate, far more effectively than any words we can write, the extraordinary power of what happens when children and adults learn together using the power of natural curiosity. We believe the next generation will only flourish if, in addition to standard literacy, numeracy, and specific knowledge, children also have general understanding and, most critically of all, are bathed in a curiosity-fuelled lifelong love of learning. Very best wishes CHRISTOPHER LLOYD PATRICK SKIPWORTH CEO and Co-author Author [email protected] [email protected] 6 THE STORY OF GIBRALTAR EDUCATOR’S PACK Introduction – A Curiosity Manifesto! Download this pack at www.whatonearthbooks.com/gibraltar ACTIVITY 1 7–9 ORDER! ORDER! This activity is about developing a sense of chronology. Gibraltar’s incredible history presents a great narrative for helping children develop a sense of chronology, which is key to understanding how and why historical events happened and for a deeper understanding of today’s world. This activity is about understanding the chronology of events – the order in which they took place and even how they might have led to one another. SKILLS DEVELOPED Memory, Narrative, Storytelling BASIC ACTIVITY 7–9 Look at the twelve illustrations on the next page and ask the student to identify the events or characters linked to each one. Next, cut out each of the illustrations and ask the student to arrange them in chronological order before building their own timeline by sticking them to sheets of paper and taping or stapling these together. If the student is stuck, ask them to search for the corresponding dates in the book. Ask them to compare their new timeline to the one in the book. Did they get everything in the correct order? FURTHER ACTIVITIES 7–9 Each image is just the tip of an iceberg of an amazing story. After arranging their timeline, ask the student to choose their favourite moment and research it further. Ask them to write a caption of at least fifty words on the event, or draw a cartoon depicting how it may have happened. 7 THE STORY OF GIBRALTAR EDUCATOR’S PACK Activity 1: Order! Order! Download this pack at www.whatonearthbooks.com/gibraltar STEP 1 – Ask the student to cut out the twelve illustrations below. STEP 2 – Ask the student to tape several pieces of A4 paper or poster board together to create their own concertina like the one below. STEP 3 – Ask the student to stick the images onto their timeline in the correct order. As a further activity, they could write the date and their own caption below. A PAGE OF YOUR TIMELINE IMAGE DATE CAPTION ACTIVITY 2 7–9 9–11 Documenting the Rock This activity is designed to expand children’s understanding of the natural world. Gibraltar’s natural environment is unique, as are many of the environmental challenges it has faced historically and continues to face today. This activity challenges the student to develop their own ‘Natural History of Gibraltar’ through their own research. SKILLS DEVELOPED Research, Visualisation, Literacy BASIC ACTIVITY 7–9 Read the caption and article about Pomponius Mela from the Timeline and Journal with the student. This ancient Roman and Gibraltar local produced one of the first geographies of Gibraltar, 9–11 and of the world! Ask the student to step into Mela’s shoes and develop their own investigation of the natural world around Gibraltar. Ask the student to find out everything they can about four special species from Gibraltar. These species should include at least one plant and one animal. If the species can only be found at Gibraltar, even better! They could use books or look online, or even ask an expert from the Alameda Gardens.

  • An Overlooked Colonial English of Europe: the Case of Gibraltar
    .............................................................................................................................................................................................................WORK IN PROGESS WORK IN PROGRESS TOMASZ PACIORKOWSKI DOI: 10.15290/CR.2018.23.4.05 Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań An Overlooked Colonial English of Europe: the Case of Gibraltar Abstract. Gibraltar, popularly known as “The Rock”, has been a British overseas territory since the Treaty of Utrecht was signed in 1713. The demographics of this unique colony reflect its turbulent past, with most of the population being of Spanish, Portuguese or Italian origin (Garcia 1994). Additionally, there are prominent minorities of Indians, Maltese, Moroccans and Jews, who have also continued to influence both the culture and the languages spoken in Gibraltar (Kellermann 2001). Despite its status as the only English overseas territory in continental Europe, Gibraltar has so far remained relatively neglected by scholars of sociolinguistics, new dialect formation, and World Englishes. The paper provides a summary of the current state of sociolinguistic research in Gibraltar, focusing on such aspects as identity formation, code-switching, language awareness, language attitudes, and norms. It also delineates a plan for further research on code-switching and national identity following the 2016 Brexit referendum. Keywords: Gibraltar, code-switching, sociolinguistics, New Englishes, dialect formation, Brexit. 1. Introduction Gibraltar is located on the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula and measures just about 6 square kilometres. This small size, however, belies an extraordinarily complex political history and social fabric. In the Brexit referendum of 23rd of June 2016, the inhabitants of Gibraltar overwhelmingly expressed their willingness to continue belonging to the European Union, yet at the moment it appears that they will be forced to follow the decision of the British govern- ment and leave the EU (Garcia 2016).

Gibraltar became British in 1704 and is a self-governing territory of the United Kingdom which covers 6.5 square kilometers, including the port and harbour. It is believed that Gibraltar has been used as a harbour by seafarers for thousands of years with evidence dating back at least three millennia to Phoenician times; however up until the late 19th Century it provided little shelter for vessels. Refer to Figure 1 which shows the coast line along the western side of Gibraltar with the first structure known as the ‘Old Mole’ on the northern end of the town. Refer to figure 1 below. Location of the ‘Old Mole’ N The Old Mole as 1770 Figure 1 Showing the harbour with the first harbour structure, the ‘Old Mole’ and the structure in detail as in 1770.

  • As Andalusia
    THE SPANISH OF ANDALUSIA Perhaps no other dialect zone of Spain has received as much attention--from scholars and in the popular press--as Andalusia. The pronunciation of Andalusian Spanish is so unmistakable as to constitute the most widely-employed dialect stereotype in literature and popular culture. Historical linguists debate the reasons for the drastic differences between Andalusian and Castilian varieties, variously attributing the dialect differentiation to Arab/Mozarab influence, repopulation from northwestern Spain, and linguistic drift. Nearly all theories of the formation of Latin American Spanish stress the heavy Andalusian contribution, most noticeable in the phonetics of Caribbean and coastal (northwestern) South American dialects, but found in more attenuated fashion throughout the Americas. The distinctive Andalusian subculture, at once joyful and mournful, but always proud of its heritage, has done much to promote the notion of andalucismo within Spain. The most extreme position is that andaluz is a regional Ibero- Romance language, similar to Leonese, Aragonese, Galician, or Catalan. Objectively, there is little to recommend this stance, since for all intents and purposes Andalusian is a phonetic accent superimposed on a pan-Castilian grammatical base, with only the expected amount of regional lexical differences. There is not a single grammatical feature (e.g. verb cojugation, use of preposition, syntactic pattern) which separates Andalusian from Castilian. At the vernacular level, Andalusian Spanish contains most of the features of castellano vulgar. The full reality of Andalusian Spanish is, inevitably, much greater than the sum of its parts, and regardless of the indisputable genealogical ties between andaluz and castellano, Andalusian speech deserves study as one of the most striking forms of Peninsular Spanish expression.

  • Multiculturalism in the Creation of a Gibraltarian Identity
    canessa 6 13/07/2018 15:33 Page 102 Chapter Four ‘An Example to the World!’: Multiculturalism in the Creation of a Gibraltarian Identity Luis Martínez, Andrew Canessa and Giacomo Orsini Ethnicity is an essential concept to explain how national identities are articulated in the modern world. Although all countries are ethnically diverse, nation-formation often tends to structure around discourses of a core ethnic group and a hegemonic language.1 Nationalists invent a dominant – and usually essentialised – narrative of the nation, which often set aside the languages, ethnicities, and religious beliefs of minori- ties inhabiting the nation-state’s territory.2 In the last two centuries, many nation-building processes have excluded, removed or segregated ethnic groups from the national narrative and access to rights – even when they constituted the majority of the population as in Bolivia.3 On other occasions, the hosting state assimilated immigrants and ethnic minorities, as they adopted the core-group culture and way of life. This was the case of many immigrant groups in the USA, where, in the 1910s and 1920s, assimilation policies were implemented to acculturate minorities, ‘in attempting to win the immigrant to American ways’.4 In the 1960s, however, the model of a nation-state as being based on a single ethnic group gave way to a model that recognised cultural diver- sity within a national territory. The civil rights movements changed the politics of nation-formation, and many governments developed strate- gies to accommodate those secondary cultures in the nation-state. Multiculturalism is what many poly-ethnic communities – such as, for instance, Canada and Australia – used to redefine their national identi- ties through the recognition of internal cultural difference.

  • How Has Gibraltar's Position Within Britain's Military Structure Impacted
    STUDENT PAPER SERIES39 How has Gibraltar’s position within Britain’s military structure impacted on the role of women in Gibraltar Society? Shelina Assomull Master’s in International Relations Academic year 2016-2017 ABSTRACT The military base is an intrinsic part of a country’s worldwide presence and power made necessary by the anarchistic international system. Gibraltar is a remnant of Britain’s global footprint. The fact that Gibraltar initially acted as a military base makes assessing the base’s position and impact on Gibraltar essential in analysing Gibraltarian gender relations. This dissertation aims to understand this, using feminist theory. To do so, I will firstly focus on the feminist theorising of military bases presented by Cynthia Enloe’s Bananas, Beaches and Bases. I will then examine Gibraltar’s similarities to the ‘base women’ Enloe examines. This will encompass prostitution, marriage, nationality, employment status and other themes in Gibraltar that draw parallels with Enloe’s theory: The base always comes first. This is particularly true to Gibraltar between the late nineteenth to mid-twentieth century. Part two will build on this by exploring a unique three-way nexus of identity. This nexus encompasses three relationships that intertwine in a way that is unique to Gibraltar. These relationships are; the interaction and tensions between the military and the civilian, the class divide between British and Alien, and at the heart of all these relationships remains a core divide in them all which is that of masculine and feminine. This will demonstrate that although Gibraltar once matched the Enloe base, the territory’s history has developed towards the late twentieth century, maintaining aspects of base life but still evolving its societal dynamics and feminist exterior, resulting in a shift of gender identities today.
