The North American mainland played a relatively minor role in the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Its ports sent out less than five percent of all known voyages, and its slave markets absorbed less than four percent of all slaves carried off from Africa. An intra-American trade in slaves – originating in the Caribbean - supplied additional slaves, however. This region was exceptional in the Americas in that a positive rate of natural population growth began relatively early, thus reducing the dependence of the region on coerced migrants. The Caribbean was one of the two major broad regional markets for slaves from Africa. Over the two centuries when the trade was at its height, the major locations for sugar production, and therefore the major slave markets, shifted from the eastern Caribbean to the west. Here, first Jamaica, then St. Domingue, and finally in the nineteenth century, Cuba, absorbed most of the slaves brought into the region. As this implies, few islands developed self-sustaining populations at any point in the slave trade era. Caribbean ports also sent out more slaving expeditions to Africa than did the North American mainland ports. Brazil was the center of the slave trade carried on under the Portuguese flag, both before and after Brazilian independence in 1822, and Portugal was by far the largest of the national carriers. Brazil dominated the slave trade in the sense that Rio de Janeiro and Bahia sent out more slaving voyages than any port in Europe, and certainly many times more than did Lisbon. Over nearly three centuries between 1560 and 1852, Brazil was consistently the largest destination for slaves in the Americas. Almost all the slaves coming into the region came from just two coastal areas in Africa: the Bight of Benin and West-central Africa. Europe was the starting point for about half of all trans-Atlantic slaving voyages. This traffic dominated the West African to Caribbean section of the slave trade. The major ports were at first located in the Iberian peninsula, but by the eighteenth century northern European ports had become dominant. After 1807, France and the Iberian ports sent out the great majority of European-based slaving voyages. The European consumers’ demand for sugar was the driving force behind 350 years of trans-Atlantic slave trading. Sub-Saharan Africa lost over twelve and a half million people to the trans-Atlantic slave trade alone between 1526 and 1867. Perhaps as many again were carried off to slave markets across the Sahara and the Indian Ocean. Over forty percent of captives left from West-central Africa alone with most of the remainder leaving from the Bight of Benin, the Bight of Biafra, and the Gold Coast. About one in eight died on board the slave vessel and many others died prior to departure and after arrival. 8223 text/html 2010-03-08T15:54:34+00:00 ...

In most of the assessments that states use to determine student and school success, a student must demonstrate math reasoning abilities through writing. This skill is not automatic, though. It develops through a recursive process: Vocabulary & Language <—> Reasoning <—> Talk <—> Writing Beginning with vocabulary and language, a student learns to reason, then to communicate those thoughts verbally, and finally to write. Each of the levels feeds back to the previous one, reinforcing and further developing it. Thus if we’re going to teach reasoning skills effectively, it follows we need to carefully consider the vocabulary we use. It isn’t uncommon, especially in the primary grades, for teachers to simplify the language we use with children to explain complex concepts. Although this is useful, it can also lead to sloppy language if we aren’t careful. It is particularly important that we don’t permit students to use precise math terms improperly and that we teach the “real” terms as quickly as possible. Even if students don’t use them right away, they should be hearing the correct terminology in context from the beginning. Here are a few examples of sloppy math language that I often hear from older students. If these go uncorrected, students will have a very difficult time communicating well when they need to explain their thought process–a skill that is essential to upper level math. Instead of these… Use these… take-away minus “plussed” added “minused” subtracted “timesed” multiplied answer sum, difference, product, quotient amount length, height, volume, number, etc. number digit, addend, factor, dividend, etc. bigger, smaller greater than, less than I believe it’s essential to require students to be precise when they communicate. Often when students don’t use the correct term, or use a valid term improperly, it is a sign they just don’t have the right words. I’ve heard teachers argue that young children just aren’t capable of such sophisticated language yet. My father, a retired professor of speech/language pathology, has often said, however, that if second graders can learn and correctly use terms like “Tyrannosaurus Rex” and “Diplodocus”, why on earth can’t we teach them to say “subtracted” instead of “minused”? Vocabulary instruction should be as much an integral part of mathematics as it is of reading, writing, and other content areas. Tomorrow I will tackle a more challenging vocabulary-related issue in mathematics: verbal and written explanations of a student’s cognitive process.

By Debra Karr Posted July 23, 2009 Article Controls Link to This Email This Share "The Black Cat", "The Raven", "The Masque of the Red Death" and "The Haunted Palace" may sound like Halloween party themes, and maybe, at times, they are. But they are more commonly associated with Edgar Allan Poe, the prolific poet and Romantic era author who made the short story famous. If Poe were alive today, he could have easily been nominated for a horror movie award. His work brings fear-infested emotions to the forefront and creates creepy images in the mind of the reader. With his literary themes revolving around death, insanity, and mystery, Poe's writings give readers the opportunity to explore the twisted mind through metaphor, description, character, and other literary devices. One of the best instructional periods I observed involved students reading along to an Edgar Allan Poe audio recording that was laced with sound effects, macabre music, and a spooky-sounding narrator. The teacher stopped and checked for understanding at several points in the story, and as students read along in their books the teacher asked "prediction" questions that were written on a large overhead at the front of the room. By forming questions around "context clues" within the text, the teacher was able to fully engage students. Most kids love a good, scary horror story. The suspense that's created in a Poe story or poem is ideal for holding student interest in a classroom. The delivery of this material is what makes it fun to teach. The group of lessons below give suggestions for infusing Poe into lesson plans. The subject of Edgar Allan Poe encapsulates so many academic areas and topics that students will indirectly learn about history (the Romantic Period), psychology, literature, and language arts by studying this one author, and all he had to offer. Edgar Allan Poe Lesson Plans: Pit, Pendulum and Raven Students explore the genius of Edgar Allan Poe by choosing one of his stories, and then pairing up with a partner to identify the plot, setting, character, and perspective of the chosen work. In pairs, the students will also look at the emotions that the story conjures up, and will write about personal experiences that may have invoked the same kind of emotions.

Televised debates have become a traditional and integral part of the election process. Debates can introduce voters to candidates' positions on key campaign issues. They can also enable voters to judge the temperament, knowledge, communication skills and personalities of the candidates.Debates can take a variety of formats. One format uses a panel of experts or journalists to ask the candidates questions. In a single moderator format, one person is selected to question the candidates. A town hall meeting debate format gives audience members the opportunity to directly question the candidates. In most formats, candidates are given a limited time to answer the questions. The topics addressed at debates can be wide-ranging, or the questions may center on select themes or issues.Some critics of modern televised debates prefer allowing direct cross-examination by the candidates, without any intermediaries. Other debate experts suggest allowing voters across the county to pose questions directly to candidates in person, or live via phone or e-mail.Regardless of the debate format, there are several things that viewers can do to get the most out of televised debates. Consider the following activities and questions before, during and after watching a debate:Before the Debate:Decide what issues are important to you. (Refer to http://www.publicagenda.org/ to explore multiple perspectives on key issues) Where do you stand on these issues?Determine what qualities you want most in a presidential candidate. (Are you more interested in the candidate's stance on the issues or his/her image and personality?)Find out which candidates will be participating in the debate. Get some background information on the candidates. (See http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/ to learn more about where the current candidates stand on the issues.)Create a list of questions that you would want to ask the candidates.During the Debate:Take notes on what questions are asked and how the candidates respond to these questions.As you take notes, identify the following:The topics or issues that are discussed in the debateWhether the candidates provide clear answers to the questionsWhether the candidates offer solutions to the problems stated in the questionsIf the candidates use facts to support their arguments or use "emotional appeal"If the candidates differentiate between their plans and those of their opponentsWhether the candidates connect with the audienceAfter the Debate:What did you learn about the candidates and the issues?What questions, if any, do you still have about the candidates and their stances on the issues? What criteria would you use to determine the "winner" in the debate?Which candidate do you think appeared "most presidential"? Do you think that this debate was a valuable tool for evaluating the candidates and their stances on the issues? Why or why not?Which candidates most closely align with your views 1 text/html 2009-07-24T14:35:23+00:00 Use the following activity to help students interpret televised political debates. ...
