************************************************************** Net Happenings - From Educational CyberPlayGround ************************************************************** From: "nuggets ola" <nuggets@xxxxxxxxx> To: <networknuggets@xxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tue, 04 Feb 2003 14:01:36 -0800 Subject: CBC Archives On Line -- Network Nuggets *** [[[ CBC ARCHIVES ON LINE ]]] *** http://archives.cbc.ca This is for Canadian teachers in social studies, science, visual arts, media studies, and business. The age range is Grade 6-12. The Canadian Broadcasting Coporation has assembled about a thousand(!) of its most famous radio and TV news clips. Fortunately, the collection is thoroughly indexed and well presented. Many of the clips are further woven, in the "For Teachers" section, into lesson plans for various subjects and grade levels. ************************************************************** LITERACY - WHY IS ENGLISH SO HARD TO LEARN? Integrate literacy (Language Arts), the arts (music) and technology into the classroom using Interdisciplinary, thematic, collaborative Online Curriculum, Readability Tools Resources about American Dialects. http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/Literacy/dialect.asp ************************************************************** News clips by their nature -- short, informative and vivid -- provide you-are-there relevance for 20th century history that is otherwise hard to achieve in a classroom. Consider them "source documents" that you listen to rather than read. As an example, I think no treatment of World War II would be complete without listening to two minutes of Churchill's "Chicken" speech ("Some chicken!... Some neck!") delivered in Ottawa in the dark early months of the war. Most major events since 1939 are covered by at least one clip. Audio and video clips run in Windows Media Player. Video quality at full screen is marginal, but may work in projection. Audio quality is clear. There is no advertising.
