1) National Children's Folksong Repository Project
http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/NCFR/

An historic electronic online archive of children's folk songs.
A public folklore project built by the children of the United States
and territories.

Be around our online Cyber Camp Fire
http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/NCFR/collect.html

Children pick up the Phone and
SING OR CHANT (SAY) THEIR SONG.

Children are our unknown culture makers and they get to record and
save their songs, then submit them into the database so that they
can hear themselves on the net. They collect history, and they will
make history at the same time. Contributions make them netizens.
They are doing this for the world. Using the internet and technology
allows them to record their personal knowledge. This is their contribution.
And we all know what's personal is political, so we all help to raise
future citizens who will care about the net.

Everyone can get the idea by watching the streaming video.

WHAT IS THE OPPORTUNITY
FOR CHILDREN, PARENTS & TEACHERS
http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/NCFR/opportunity.html
Children in the United States aren't singing the songs
of their heritage, an omission that puts the nation in
jeopardy of losing a longstanding and rich part of its identity.

Notice the resources on this page that can show you
children's rhymes from newspapers dating back to the 1800's.


2) PRODUCE AN AUTOGRAPH BOOK
http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/Teachers/newteacherlastday.html

Read the Bckg. Story
Show the kids what this old antique looked like:
Autograph Book from Yesteryear - Explore the 1880s.
see 15 pages of the autograph book

Read "Sign Here" by Tossi Aaron
5/05 Vol. 46 #8 Tune Up Newsletter, Philadelphia Folksong Society

<SNIP>
"Victorians wrote literary quotations or Bible verses, but these lost 
status, and only the folk writings endured. The children's rhymes are 
frequently original, at once naive and ingenuous. Try this on in a yearbook 
or someone's autograph book:

If you think you are in love,
And there is still some question,
Don't worry much about it.
It may be indigestion."
