  • Creating Culture Through Food, a Study of Traditional Argentine Foods
    Unit Title: Creating Culture through Food: A Study of Traditional Argentine Foods Author: Kyra Brogden George Watts Magnet Montessori, Durham, NC Subject Area: Writing and Language, Social Studies Topic: Food and culture Grade Level: 1st, 2nd, 3rd (Lower Elementary) Time Frame: 4 days of 45-minute lessons on Argentine food, nutrition and culture Cooking: 3 days of cooking and 1 day to put together the cookbook *The cooking lessons will require more time and resources. Also the cookbook may require going through a rough draft and final copy that can occur after the lessons themselves are completed. That can be done at the teachers’ discretion. Brief Summary: This unit will focus on helping students understand the role of nutrition and food in defining a culture by studying Argentine nutrition and food. The first four lessons will focus on comparing nutritional guidelines, evaluating food, and a discussion about meal times in both the United States and Argentina. The students will then embark on a series of three lessons that each focus on a traditional Argentine food. The students will cook the food, create a nutritional analysis, learn about the history of that food, and then write food reviews. The students will ultimately make a cookbook with the recipes, pictures, nutritional analysis, and their own food review. Established Goals are taken from the Common Core Standards for Grade 2: Research to Build and Present Knowledge 7. Participate in shared research and writing projects (e.g. read a number of books on a single topic to produce a report; record science observations) 8.

  • Notes on Alcohol in Pre-Russian Siberia
    SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS Number 277 April, 2018 Notes on Alcohol in Pre-Russian Siberia by Thomas T. Allsen Victor H. Mair, Editor Sino-Platonic Papers Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA 19104-6305 USA [email protected] www.sino-platonic.org SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS FOUNDED 1986 Editor-in-Chief VICTOR H. MAIR Associate Editors PAULA ROBERTS MARK SWOFFORD ISSN 2157-9679 (print) 2157-9687 (online) SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS is an occasional series dedicated to making available to specialists and the interested public the results of research that, because of its unconventional or controversial nature, might otherwise go unpublished. The editor-in-chief actively encourages younger, not yet well established, scholars and independent authors to submit manuscripts for consideration. Contributions in any of the major scholarly languages of the world, including romanized modern standard Mandarin (MSM) and Japanese, are acceptable. In special circumstances, papers written in one of the Sinitic topolects (fangyan) may be considered for publication. Although the chief focus of Sino-Platonic Papers is on the intercultural relations of China with other peoples, challenging and creative studies on a wide variety of philological subjects will be entertained. This series is not the place for safe, sober, and stodgy presentations. Sino- Platonic Papers prefers lively work that, while taking reasonable risks to advance the field, capitalizes on brilliant new insights into the development of civilization. Submissions are regularly sent out to be refereed, and extensive editorial suggestions for revision may be offered. Sino-Platonic Papers emphasizes substance over form. We do, however, strongly recommend that prospective authors consult our style guidelines at www.sino-platonic.org/stylesheet.doc.

  • An Arboreal Guide of the Wilderness
    ^'3^J FRANKLIN BVRK COALITION BULLETIN rpayig/^ A publication of THE FRANKLIN PARK COALITION 319 Forest Hills St., Boston, MA 02130 522-7431 REALGOIEK of ti^WILDERNESS BOSTON PUBLIC LIBRARY Property 0! BOSWn REDEVELOPMENT AUUiOivlIT Lihrsry Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2010 with funding from Boston Public Library http://www.archive.org/details/arborealguideofwOOburc : INTRODUCTION The Wilderness is a heavily wooded section of Franklin Park o£ about 100 acres. It is bordered by Forest Hills Street, Circuit Drive and Glen Road in Jamaica Plain. These roads make the Wilderness a self-contained section of the Park. In the early 18th century, the area was called "the rocky wilderness area". F. L. Olmsted used this old designation when he laid out the sections of Franklin Park. It's easy to see why the area was so named by early Roxbury residents. Even today it is rocky and heavily wooded with steep cliffs and marshy lowland. At its highest point - 185 feet above sea level - a commanding view of Jamaica Plain overlooking Moss Hill can be seen. The Wilderness was never farmed or logged until it was purchased by the city in 1883 for Franklin Park. Two roads cut it in thirds and the edge along Forest Hills Street contained several big estates (one of which survives today at 235 Forest Hills Street). One of these estates was that of Joseph Ellicott. He lived in a big white house near the 99 steps. The Olmsted firm used this house as a field office after Ellicott sold it and subsequently named Ellicott Arch, Ellicott Cottage (destroyed) and Ellicott Dale after the previous owner.

  • DCR Citizen Forester
    MARCH 2020 | No. 266 From the Woods—Tap into Your Forest By Tom Ryan This month, we’re introducing a new section called “From the Woods,” written by DCR Service Foresters. This section will cover a variety of topics that come straight to you, ‘from the woods.’ Have a forest question or topic you’d like to see explored? Let us know! The southwest corner of Massachusetts is where I live and work as a DCR Service Forester. During the month of March, I see buckets and tap lines as a telltale sign of spring, as this is normally when maple sap production is in full swing. Each year during maple sugaring season, I tap about a dozen trees on my property and make roughly three gallons of syrup; depending on the season, I can count on roughly one quart of syrup (or 10 gallons of sap) per tap. Throughout my district, there are a number of farms and families that also proactively manage their land and take advantage of this annual forest harvest (Side note: maple syrup production is a great way to qualify for your land being classified in one of the Ch. 61 current use tax savings programs). Historically, the month of March is prime sugaring, but with the realities of climate change affecting our weather patterns, it is proving more difficult to predict the season of this forest product. Recently, I came across a publication from the University of Massachusetts by Joshua Rapp, titled “Finding the sweet spot: Shifting optimal climate for maple syrup production in North America.” His research projects the effects of climate change on the maple products industry.

Among the primi- tive instincts are the fondness for experimenting with un- familiar foods and the desire to be independent of the conventional sources of supply. All campers and lovers of out-of-door life delight to discover some new fruit or herb which it is safe to eat, and in actual camping it is often highly important to be able to recognize and secure fresh vegetables for the camp-diet; while in emergency the ready recognition of possible wild foods might save life. In these days, furthermore, when thoughtful people are wondering about the food-supply of the present and future generations, it is not amiss to assemble what is known of the now neglected but readily available vege- table-foods, some of which may yet come to be of real economic importance.
