Battles may include EITHER traditional military engagements (land or sea) OR sociopolitical confrontations (such as the struggle to authorize enrollments of Black soldiers during the Civil War). Each essay should provide thoughtful historical context combined with strong narrative description. All essays should employ a wide-ranging combination of high quality primary and secondary sources (including at least one of the relevant chapters from the At War collection). All essays should be typed and double-spaced as a Word or PDF document with title page and Chicago-style footnotes (no bibliography required). In addition to the essay, students are required to submit either a custom-made Google Map, StorymapJS or TimelineJS on their chosen military history episode. Well-designed maps or timelines can receive up to 5 extra-credit points. Additional information will be available on the annotated assignment guidelines at the course site. Both essay and map / timeline links should be submitted by email to Prof. Pinsker by 5pm on the due date. Student work will be graded on research effort, depth of analysis and prose quality. Late essays will be penalized up to 5 points per day. Second Battle Paper By Friday, April 9, students will submit a 6 to 8 page essay that analyzes a significant battle from modern American military history (1877 to 2009). Battles may include EITHER traditional military engagements (land, sea or air) OR sociopolitical confrontations (such as the confrontation over the Don’t Ask / Don’t Tell policy regarding gay service members in the 1990s). Each essay should provide thoughtful historical context combined with strong narrative description. All essays should employ a wide-ranging combination of high quality primary and secondary sources (including at least one of the relevant chapters from the At War collection).

Student work will be graded on research effort, depth of analysis and prose quality. Late essays will be penalized up to 5 points per day. Final Battle Projects By Thursday, May 13, students will post a final battle project on their own Weebly site. Each project should be designed as an online teaching exhibit, revised from material submitted earlier in one of their previous battle papers. For this online effort, students should employ an even wider variety of primary and secondary sources than their initial written essay. In addition, now benefiting from the online platform, they should strive to find ways to provide full-text access and/or page images for these sources whenever available. Most important, students should strive to engage classroom audiences with visual and multi- media tools such as embedded maps, timelines, podcasts, or videos. Students may embed multi-media elements from outside sources, but they must take care to credit those sources properly. All visual or multi-media material at the student-produced websites must be properly credited and captioned and all quoted text material needs to have Chicago-style footnotes. Additional information will be available on the annotated assignment guidelines at the course site. Students should submit a link to their website by email to Prof. Pinsker. Student work will be graded on research effort, depth of analysis and both prose and online design quality. Late projects will be penalized up to 5 points per day.

  • Battle of the Books 2005-2006
    Battle of the Books 2010-2011 Guidelines Description: Battle of the Books (BOB) is an academic-based competition that has been very successful in school districts throughout the state in encouraging students to read a wide range of children’s literature. Students are asked to read a variety of books and recall information about the plots, characters, and settings. Students form teams of three and together complete the reading list. The titles on this list include classics and more current, award winning literature. The 2010/11 list includes 45 books that are available in both school and public libraries. Books on the list are at varying levels of difficulty, ranging from a fourth to an eighth grade reading level. While the activity is open to all fourth graders, Battle of the Books is a reading enrichment program designed to challenge our proficient and advanced readers. After completing the reading lists, students will compete against other teams of fourth graders by answering questions about the books. Every question asked in a battle is answered by the title and author of the book and takes the form of: "In which book..." The Stormonth competition will be held throughout the month of March, 2011. Through a series of "battles" we will arrive at one winning team for 4th grade. This team will represent our school at the Invitational Tournament which is made up of seventeen area schools. This year the Invitational Tournament will be held at Lake Bluff School in Shorewood on April 14, 2011. Sign-up: In September, during our regularly scheduled library classes, I will review the program once again with the students.

  • When Did British Wrestling Get So Big? Ben Carass
    Cubed Circle Newsletter – Best of 2015 Issue With the 2015 Cubed Circle Yearbook and end of the year fast approaching, we have decided to put together a Cubed Circle Recap issue this week, encapsulating some of the best content the newsletter had to offer in 2015 ahead of our biggest issue of the year coming up in less than two weeks. This special issue will be released alongside the new, and hopefully improved, cubedcirclewrestling.com. The site has been made dramatically easier to navigate, and the content is far more organised, which should make for a better user experience. The site logo has also changed, as visitors of the website will quickly notice. As always, any feedback is very much appreciated, particularly as far as the new website is concerned, as, realistically speaking, we should have some growing pains, although the old-site, one could argue, was the manifestation of three or so years of growing pains. But, for now, we hope you enjoy this special issue, and we will be back with another issue in approximately ten days – what will be, if not the biggest, hopefully the best issue we have ever published. Merry Holidays and Happy New Year, everyone! – Ryan Clingman, Cubed Circle Newsletter Editor When Did British Wrestling Get So Big? Ben Carass On November 13th 2004, FWA (Frontier Wrestling Alliance) ran the biggest post-World of Sport era show the British Wrestling scene had ever seen. A reported 1,785 fans saw such names as Terry Funk, Drew McDonald, AJ Styles, Colt Cabana, Paul Burchill, Spud and Doug Williams on the card at the Coventry Skydome that night for British Uprising III.

  • Battle of New Orleans
    Battle of New Orleans Thematic Unit Introduction The Battle of New Orleans was the final battle in the War of 1812 – a war some called “the Second War of Independence” and others called “unnecessary.” Regardless, the Battle of New Orleans signified two things: the fall of the British in North America, and the rise of Major General Andrew Jackson. Objectives A. Examine historical information from a variety of sources, including museum and library collections, letters, maps, documents, oral histories, firsthand accounts, and web sites. B. Analyze the causes and effects of the War of 1812. C. Understand, through dialogue, discussion, and primary sources, the impact the victory at New Orleans on January 8, 1815 had on American history. Background The War of 1812 has been referred to as the Second War of Independence. With the British – fresh off Napoleon’s defeat – aiming to retake her “possessions” in North America, the Americans had no standing army, no national bank (with the charter for the 1st Bank of the United States having expired in 1811), and no major military leaders – until Andrew Jackson and his militia won a dramatic victory at New Orleans on January 8, 1815. Vocabulary Blockade Duel Impressment Militia War Hawks Suggested Pre-Program Activities 1. Have students write two editorials – one on the side of the War Hawks, and one on the side of those opposed to war with England. 2. Let students imagine they were England, planning an invasion of the United States. What would their plan be? Where would they attack? 3. The students are James Madison.
