American Cultural History - Decade 1920-1929 Early modernism in art, design, and architecture, which began at the turn of the century, continued through to 1940 and the war. In cities, Skyscrapers (first in 1870s) were erected and hundreds of architects competed for the work. The first successful design was the Woolworth Building in New York. In Chicago, the Wrigley building was designed by Graham, Anderson, Probst, and White while the Chicago Tribune Tower was designed by Howells and Hood. The Art Deco design was exemplified by the Chrysler and Empire State Buildings (depression projects - the Empire State Building completed early 1931.) Frank Lloyd Wright was prolific during this period, designing homes in California and in Japan.

Patterns for the Well-Dressed 19th Century Gentleman — Historical Sewing Hugh Dancy as Daniel Deronda set in the 1870s Lest you think we forget our handsome gentlemen around here… Without them where would our Elizabeth Bennet be? What about Molly without her Roger? Or Scarlet without her Ashley AND Rhett? For these dashing men to be appropriately dressed, they must make a visit to their tailor – who probably dressed them to the T without the use of patterns. North Korean Ship Seized By Panama For Allegedly Carrying Ballistic Missiles - Iceweasel PANAMA CITY — A North Korean ship carrying weapons system parts buried under sacks of sugar was seized as it tried to cross the Panama Canal on its way from Cuba to its home country, which is barred by United Nations sanctions from importing sophisticated weapons or missiles, Panamanian officials said Tuesday. A private defense analysis firm that examined a photograph of the find said the ship appeared to be transporting a radar-control system for a Soviet-era surface-to-air missile system, and Cuba later called the equipment on the boat "obsolete defensive weapons" from the mid-20th century. A statement from Cuba's Foreign Ministry late Tuesday acknowledged that the military equipment belonged to the Caribbean nation, but said it had been shipped out to be repaired and returned to the island. It said the 240 metric tons of weaponry consisted of two Volga and Pechora anti-aircraft missile systems, nine missiles "in parts and spares," two Mig-21 Bis and 15 engines for those airplanes.
Panama: Cuba 'Owns' North Korean Ship Arms - Iceweasel Cuba has claimed it owns the arms that were found on board a North Korean ship that Panama has impounded. Panama has called for United Nations investigators to inspect the shipment of missile parts found on the Chong Chon Gang as it tried to enter the Panama Canal last week. The contraband munitions were hidden under thousands of bags labelled "Cuban Raw Sugar", Panama said. Cuba claimed ownership in a statement on state television, saying the Soviet-era missile system parts were to be repaired and returned - without mentioning where they were being sent. Cuba said the shipment contained "obsolete" weaponry "manufactured in the mid-20th century", including anti-aircraft missile arrays, nine disassembled missiles, two MiG-21 Bis jets and 15 engines.
The Myth of Learn to Read/Read to Learn - Iceweasel The Myth of Learn to Read/Read to Learn By Laura Robb For years, many elementary- and middle-school teachers have shaped their teaching practices around the deeply rooted myth of "Learning to Read and Reading to Learn." The fundamental premise of the myth is as follows: "Learning to Read" happens in the early grades (K–3) and consists primarily of decoding and memorizing basic sight words. "Reading to Learn" begins in fourth grade and consists mostly of reading for information. Although the myth and the practices associated with it do not by any means tell the entire reading story, they have influenced reading instruction in many classrooms for years.
The Reading to Learn program - Iceweasel The aim of Reading to Learn is to support every student in a class to read and write challenging texts at their grade level. Through carefully designed guidance, all students are continually engaged and successful at each step of the R2L teaching strategies. The program includes three levels of support that can be integrated at various points in a teaching program. Peparing for reading and modelling writing The first level prepares a class for reading and comprehending curriculum texts, then uses these readings as models for guided and independent writing activities. These strategies can be used as a teaching method for any lesson units in primary or secondary.
