MLK Day : January 20thMLK Day and Black
history month:
on Infonews, you can find three pages
about MLK and Black history month, the
first student worksheet features the
story of Melba Patillo, the first black
student to integrate an all white
school...and it was really difficult for
her!
Reading those 9 pages is like working on
a short story, and the fact that it is
online helps the students to go to the
end of this document sthat most of them
would just refuse to read if it were on
paper....

- Lessons tailored to the learner, not
the teacher (from PEN Weekly NewsBlast
for December 13) Federal law requires
schools to create individualized
education plans (IEPs) for
special-education students, but says
nothing about everyone else. Schools in
Maryland, Vermont and Virginia, among
other states, have adopted these
personalized plans for regular-education
students. The idea has gained so much
momentum that Washington state schools
Superintendent Terry Bergeson recently
suggested reating "accelerated learning
plans" statewide for seventh-graders who
don't pass the Washington Assessment of
Student Learning. The learning plans,
which basically involve getting parents,
teacher and student to draw up a list of
goals and ways to reach them, have
yielded numerous benefits. Parents say
they feel like they're "part of the
solution." Administrators say the plans
are effective communication tools,
building bridges between school and
home. The plans are notorious for
devouring special-education teachers'
time. For most teachers, the problem is
not the concept of an "individualized
education". It's that managing a batch
of education plans can seem like a
second job. "It's more work for the
teachers," said Principal Benjamin
Wright. "But that's too bad. In the long
run it's best for the kids."

- Learn to read (from Brigitte
Cadaureille on e-teach)A really nice
website for young learners. The owners
of the website are poet Susan Polis
Schutz and her husband." This site
designed to young English speaking
pre-reader is a nice way to make primary
school children discover the sounds of
English. Through little children stories
and interactive books, the children will
learn how to read and pronounce English
words and sentences. It is aimed at very
young children, but the words are
written, the letters are isolated and
pronounced, and the sentences read. An
excellent way to learn English and
discover the pronunciation.

Musique et Chant en classe
d'anglaisJean-S. Sahaï présente aux
lecteurs du Café une section de la Page
d'anglais et d'agrégation, son travail
commencé en 1996 depuis la Guadeloupe.
Cette semaine : la section Musique et
Chant en classe d'anglais : Pourquoi
chanter? Comment chanter? Que chanter?
On lira avec délectation l'article
d'Alain Nowak qui tire le fil didactique
PROSODY, SONG &... PRL : "En musique
mesurée, on n'échappe que rarement à la
loi qui fait tomber les temps forts de
la mesure sur un accent. C'est là une
coïncidence heureuse pour le prof de
langues..." De l'alphabet chanté en
anglais à la composition d'un orchestre
symphonique, en passant par les nursery
rhymes ou l'observation du present
perfect dans les chansons des Beatles...
on trouvera là une foule de suggestions
pratiques pour sortir du chant en ch¦ur
précédé de vocabulaire. Avec bien
entendu d'innombrables liens vers des
sites sur la musique, l'orchestre, les
groupes, textes de chansons... Signalons
aussi sur le site une section "La musique
et leurs humeurs" qui fait état de
recherches assorties de suggestions
pratiques sur l'influence que la musique
peut avoir sur le caractère et le
comportement des élèves... Voir en
particulier l'article "Positive results
with background music in difficult
classes". Page d'anglais et d'agrégation
depuis la Guadeloupe

The Edible Monument: The Art of Food for
Festivals (from [LIIWEEK] January 2,
2003)
"Ornate edible architecture and
sculptures were often created for
celebrations in the cities and courts of
early modern Europe." Illustrations from
the sixteenth through the nineteenth
centuries of these "ephemeral
masterpieces" and of street feasts,
festivals, and elaborate table wares and
settings are the subject of this Getty
Research Institute exhibition. Look for
Harsdörffer's illustrations of
piegatura, baroque napkin-folding. For
those interested in the history of
banquets and table decoration. The site
shows pictures from the 15th century or
older, and comments helping to
understand what the pictures show.

Human cloningBBC offers a poll with a
short but comprehensive heading
presenting the last news and the
problem, and then you can read people's
reactions, and add your own:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/talking_point
/2610993.stm
PBS has also started a site on the
subject, where students can read
interesting comments in "can we?" and
"should we?" and the "science sidebar"
offers definition of all the technical
terms in simple words. This site will
interest all students, and will be
especially useful to those studying
biology.
http://www.pbs.org/fredfriendly/ourgenes
/should_we.html
CNN offers a full chronology of cloning
and in "related" you will find an
***excellent animation showing the
details of the cloning process. There is
also a short description of the Raelian
movement (don't forget it originates
from France!) But remember that CNN
videos are not longer on free access...
http://europe.cnn.com/2003/HEALTH/01/04/
human.cloning.chrono.reut/
On CNN Europe, you can find an article
entitled : "One shouldn't do this!" and
in "related" three interactive sites : a
chronology, the above mentioned
description of the cloning process, and
"cloning for treatment"
http://europe.cnn.com/2002/HEALTH/12/27/
clones.ethics.legal/
CBS also has a special report page with
interactive presentation of the DNA
story and several videos of the news.
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/04/0
6/tech/main505541.shtml
The Guardian features an article on how
the law can be turned to allow human
cloning
http://politics.guardian.co.uk/homeaffai
rs/story/0,11026,868947,00.html
don't miss the links at the end,
especially the link to the special
report about ethics of genetics
http://www.guardian.co.uk/genes/0,2759,3
95698,00.html
like CNN, it offers a flash animation on
how cloning is done:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/flash/0,5860,5
34450,00.html
and another one on the genome project:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/flash/0,5860,5
34450,00.html
The Tribune of India features a long
article with a drawing of the cloning
process
http://www.tribuneindia.com/2003/2003010
2/science.htm#1
the article has an interesting
structure, with the traditional for and
against parts, "last but not least" and
the risks with lots of "may".
ABC News from Australia stresses the
fact that South Korea offered its help:
http://www.abc.net.au/news/justin/nat/ne
wsnat-5jan2003-67.htm
the EU also presents an article about
the position of Chirac and some other EU
countries:

The address of the Raelian cloning
company is : http://www.clonaid.com
but
I wouldn't encourage you to visit it or
give more publicity to this very small
religious sect which has already got
more than really deserved through this
fantastic "coup de pub"!
If you want to tackle religious issues,
I would rather advise you to use this
interesting and moderate article from
the Jamaica Observer presenting the
muslim position in a comment of the AFP
news from Cairo (Egypt):
