Ron-- Have been home sick, felled by bronchitis. I should be in school tomorrow though. Reminder--we are supposed to meet after school tomorrow--the PEF grant group. How is the project going? Do you want to schedule some of the oral history part in the library (forming question, etc.)? I haven't had any luck in getting an expert; we may just have to go it alone. I just took a look at the revised lesson plan. I'm really glad it's up, but some changes are needed. 1--missing part--at the end of the introduction "Family stories are very rich..." you have the part that follows that. 2--resources--I think would be better at the end, because we have so many of them. last item in resources: American Folklore Center Source Book [seek exact title and URL]--do you have anything else about this? I'll look for it, but we can't leave it like this. 3--In Lesson 2, the excerpts from American Life Histories should be inserted. 4--Did you check out using Voices from the Dust Bowl? Especially on the library computers? 5--Lesson 8-- the student questions about looking for Grapes of Wrath info should be part of the library lesson. Also the numbering in this section is mixed up. Let's look at the original. The flow here is very strange. 6--Lesson 10--numbering is off. 7--holistic rubric? needs to be inserted 8--articles from Daily News/Inquirer? 9--Optional Lesson--I think this section should not be part of the lesson plan--but something that can be clicked on--because the subject matter is far from immigration. 10--What did you change? Should I go ballistic? 11--In Extension--Lesson 12 is called lesson 13. 12 Do you have the article on race and beauty with the other material? (from a book on immigration?
