2)  In the story, "Cookies", what 4 things does Frog do to try to stop himself and Toad from eating all of the cookies? Fold a piece of paper, just like in activity #1.  On each page, draw one of the things Frog does, and write a sentence explaining what Frog is doing.
3) How are the main characters, Frog and Toad, different?  When you have read "A List", "The Garden", and "Cookies",  fold a piece of paper in half.  On what side draw Toad and write "Toad", and on the other, draw and write "Frog".  Under each one, write at least 5 adjectives to describe each of them.  Here are some adjectives you may want to use, but you can also use other adjectives:

N3/4

We're going to read the story "Carmelina", by Patricia Russo (the author of "Thunder Cake"!).  This story takes place in Italy near the end of World War II.  In the middle of World War II Italy (led by Benito Mussolini) was an ally of Germany (led by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party) and Japan.  These three countries were fascist, and together they were called the "Axis Powers".  They fought against "The Allies": France, Great Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union, and, to a lesser extent, China.  However, in 1943,  Italy kicked Mussolini out of power and joined the Allies.  Germany tried to stop them from helping the allies by invading and occupying Italy.  The story takes place in 1944, while much of Italy was under German occupation.

Take a look at these 3 maps:

Picture
This is a map of Europe in 1939.
Picture
The grey parts of this map were part of the Axis Powers in 1939, and the blue parts were part of the Allied Forces.
Picture
All the red parts of this map were occupied by Nazi Germany in 1944. You can see that the southern (lower) part of Italy is with the allies, but the north is occupied by Germany.
Picture
A map of the battle of Monte Cassino (near Carmelina's town of Garzano), from Time Magazine, April, 1944- just when the story takes place!
Picture
This is the Monte Cassino abbey, that Carmelina can see from her town, and that in 1944 was occupied by the German army and was the site of a major battle. It is now restored.
Picture
This is the Monte Cassino abbey after the battle in 1944.
Picture
Carmelina can see Monte Cassino from her town of Garzano. You can see that Monte Cassino is just north of the Gustav line, which divided the northern part of Italy that was occupied by the Germans, and the southern part that had been taken back by the allies, so there was a lot of fighting between the allies and the Germans right along that line.

Hermes week 2:  January 17-21, 2022

The Civil Rights Movement, Part 1:  1952-1961

Activity: 
We're going to make a small booklet about five aspects and events of the Civil Rights Movement between 1952-1961:
​
1. Jim Crow Laws (1865-1968)
2. The Ku Klux Klan (KKK)  
3. The Brown vs. Board of Ed court decision (1954) 
4. Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott (1955)
5.  The Freedom Riders (1961)

For each one, include either a drawing or a printed photo, and write a brief explanation of the topic.  This week you must complete the pages about the first three topics, the Jim Crow laws,  the Ku Klux Klan, and "Brown vs. Board of Ed".  Read the articles and watch the videos below to learn about each topic.

1) Jim Crow Laws:  Slavery was officially abolished in the United States in 1865, immediately after the "American Civil War".  However, black people still did not have the same rights as white people.  "Jim Crow laws" dictated where black people (often called "colored people" at the time) could be, and what they could do.  Because the constitution said that all citizens had to be treated equally, the government claimed that white people and black people could be separated as long as they were treated equally-  "Separate but equal".  In reality, though, they were never treated equally.  Take a look at the photos, articles and videos below to learn about the Jim Crow era.

Here are links to two web pages about the history of the Jim Crow laws:
Jim Crow Laws (History.com)
A Brief History of Jim Crow
The first two videos below are about the history of segregation in the United States.  "Segregation" is separation- in this case, the separation of black people from white people.  The last video is about the experience of a black man who grew up in Mississippi, in the south of the United States, in the 1960's.
2)  The Ku Klux Klan (KKK):  The Ku Klux Klan (also known as the KKK or "The Klan") is a hate organization that started in 1865, just after the American Civil War, when slavery was abolished.  Their purpose was (and to some extent, still is) to promote slavery and segregation,  to prevent black people from voting or holding positions in government, and generally to terrorize black people and anyone who supported equal rights for black people.  Believe it or not, the KKK still exists today, and they still wear their signature white robes and pointed hats.  In the south of the United States, at least until the 1960's, and occasionally even today, they beat up and lynched (hanged, killed) black people, burned houses, planted bombs, and other committed other violent acts.

3) Brown vs. Board of Ed:  In 1951 several black families sued the Board of Education in Topeka, Kansas because their children were not permitted to attend white schools.  In 1954 they won the court case and schools started being desegregated.  This was one of the first challenges to the "Separate but Equal" doctrine behind the "Jim Crow" laws.  Read the articles and watch the videos below to learn more about this, then draw or glue a related photo in your booklet, and write a short summary of this event.

2.  Watch the short video below about the landmark case "Brown vs. Board of Education",  which laid the foundation for the end of the Jim Crow era. 
3. Although Brown vs. Board of Ed officially ended school segregation in 1954, many schools in the south of the United States still refused to allow black children to go to the same schools as white children.  In 1960 a very brave 6-year old named Ruby Bridges became the first black child to go to a white school in the south. Read the article and watch the video below to learn more about it. There's also a good movie called "Ruby Bridges".

"The Little Orphan Annie" was a cartoon strip in the 1920's:
Imagen
Then a musical was made, based on the cartoon strip.  In 1982 the musical was turned into a movie.  This version of "Annie" takes place during the Great Depression-  a period of about 10 years in which many people were terribly poor and couldn't get jobs.  President Franklin D. Roosevelt (or FDR) tried to help poor people by creating new jobs doing public projects like building parks and roads, planting trees, and fixing school buildings.

In 2014 another movie was made.  This one takes place nowadays, in New York City.

Lyrics:

The sun'll come out tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow
There'll be sun

Just thinkin' about tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs and the sorrow
'Til there's none

When I'm stuck a with day that's gray, and lonely,
I just stick out my chin and Grin, and say,
Oh

The sun'll come out t
omorrow
So ya gotta hang on 'til tomorrow
Come what may

Tomorrow, tomorrow

I love ya tomorrow
You're always a day away
​When I'm stuck a with day
That's gray, and lonely,
I just stick out my chin and grin, and Say,
Oh

The sun'll come out tomorrow,
So ya gotta hang on 'til tomorrow,
Come what may

I love ya tomorrow
You're always a day away

Tomorrow, tomorrow
I love ya tomorrow
You're always a day away.
