==**Learning Activity 8-B-1: Local History Project**== === ﻿﻿This is my final project. Click on the site. Go to Full Screen. My transitions did not transfer to the presentation. Just use your imagination with page overs, reveals, splits :) All the URL's should work! ===


 * Add your final project here. ﻿ **** I used "Slideshare.net." **

==**Learning Activity 3-D-2: Local Documents, Data, and Cartoons**==


 * Add the sources you found in Learning Activity 3-D-2 here.**

**@http://www.gpoaccess.gov/wcomp/v38no28.html This is a weekly compilation of Presidential documents. In this list, number 1164, Fred Rogers is honored with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.**

 * [] This is the Congressional Resolution to honor Mr. Fred Rogers.**


 * I would use the above two sites to show the honors that Mr. Fred Rogers received for his lifetime achievements. We would use these sites to discover what Mr. Rogers gave to Pittsburgh and the nation (world, too). We could list these achievements to compare them to the achievements of Andrew Carnegie, another Pittsburgh leader. This would be the beginning of comparing the past to the present.**

**[] This is a site with population and demographic statistics of Pittsburgh.**

 * I would use this data in conjunction with the interactive neighborhood map. The data, the map, and the photographs of Pittsburgh neighborhoods. Again, it would begin the comparison of Pittsburgh in the past to the present with all the discoveries of landmarks and buildings.**

**Library of Congress cartoons**
===**[] Looking at Andrew Carnegie, the philanthropist, this cartoon/caricature shows how he "threw" money. He is wearing a kilt, depicting his Scottish heritage.**===
 * [] At the "Peace Palace," this cartoon pokes fun at Andrew Carnegie's attempts to keep peace in the world.**
 * [] In "Puck," Andrew Carnegie is shown being generous universities, but being remiss in the conditions of his factories. He is pictured with Charles Schwab.**


 * Uncle Scrooge Andrew Carnegie Couldn't resist! Both came to the USA from Scotland when they were 13 years old,**

**Ohio History**
===**[] This article praises Andrew Carnegie's support of African American education. "Long Live Andrew Carnegie" It also mentions that Andrew Carnegie helped finance Booker T. Washington's research.**===


 * The cartoons and the newspaper article would depict Andrew Carnegie as a philanthropist and illustrate what he gave to Pittsburgh and the nation (and the world). However, the cartoons also refer to the factory conditions. We would compare him to Fred Rogers.**


 * I hope to find a cartoon or caricature of Fred Rogers for a comparison.**

**Carnegie Mellon University**
===**[]? This site shows correspondence between the Carnegie Camp archaeolgical site and the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. The dinosaur hunt is on! This link is to a specific letter, but the site has many letters regarding the dinosaurs.**===


 * Pittsburgh dinosaurs are fascinating. The children will see how they came to Pittsburgh first because of Andrew Carnegie. Their influence is great. Even Mr. Rogers is honored with a Fredosaurus Rex Friday XIII.**


 * Throughout these lessons I will use the SEA and KWL charts. I'll use the NARA for reference to guide discussions. We'll also use Venn Diagrams. All these graphic organizers will help develop critical thinking skills.**

**[] This is an ephemera calling for a meeting for a proposed canal.**

 * [] This is a Pittsburgh reference card.**
 * [] This is a railroad ephemera, advertising for train schedules.**


 * These early posters or ephemera show an early Pittsburgh. I will use them briefly at some point in discussing the other posters. (People were expected to read!)**

**Historic Pittsburgh**

 * []**
 * This poster advertises a community picnic sponsored by the Irene Kaufmann Settlement Center. It shows Uncle Sam welcoming the immigrants.**


 * []**
 * This photograph shows three young girls with the American flag. They are on the steps of the Irene Kaufmann Settlement center.**


 * The photograph and poster feature the Irene Kaufmann Settlement Center in the Hill District of Pittsburgh. With so many immigrants coming to Pittsburgh at this time, the center welcomed Jewish immigrants. They both feature American symbols. I will use these posters to illustrate how the Pittsburgh neighborhoods began.**


 * []**
 * This poster is an example of posters in Pittsburgh factories during WWII. Pittsburgh's steel was essential in the war effort.**




 * [] Rosie the Riveter shows the women's effort in the war. Pittsburgh factories employed many of these women.**


 * These posters illustrate Pittsburgh's steel industry and Pittsburgh's contribution to the war effort. This connects to Pittsburgh's past and Andrew Carnegie.**

**﻿Carnegie Museum of Natural History**
===**[] This find was unbelievable! The Carnegie Museum of Natural History has a 15 page online presentation of the discovery of the first diplodocus. It includes photographs of "Camp Carnegie," "Dippy," and the first Dinosaur Hall as well as photographs of Andrew Carnegie and his dinosaur hunters. It is presented as an online book. A click turns the page.**===

**﻿Library of Congress**

 * [] This photograph of Andrew Carnegie at his desk shows him surrounded by books.**
 * [] This is a photograph of Pittsburgh c. 1905, during the time of Andrew Carnegie and "Dippy."**


 * The Andrew Carnegie sites show his contributions to Pittsburgh.**

***﻿Fred Rogers**

 * Wiki/qwiki**
 * [] This is a photograph of Fredosaurus Friday XIII. Here is where Mr. Carnegie meets Mr. Rogers:)**


 * [|http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/9f/Bwsweep] Here is Mister Rogers with his Neighborhood.**


 * These photographs reflect the contributions Mr. Rogers made to Pittsburgh.**

***﻿Pittsburgh: (PRESENT)**

 * [] This is Pittsburgh in 2004.**


 * This photograph will be used to compare Pittsburgh with its past.**


 * I'm hoping to arrange these sites so the children can compare Pittsburgh's past to its present. They will also be able to compare Andrew Carnegie and Mister Rogers and their contributions to Pittsburgh.**
 * Throughout these lessons I will use the SEA and KWL charts. I'll use the NARA for reference to guide discussions. We'll also use Venn Diagrams. All these graphic organizers will help develop critical thinking skills. We will discuss as we analyze, work in small groups, large groups, and individually as we learn about our "neighborhood."**

==**Learning Activity 5-D-1: Local Audio and Music**==

**﻿Andrew Carnegie**

 * [] This is a short film of Andrew Carnegie in short appearances.**

**﻿Comparisons with the Past**

 * @http://library.duke.edu/digitalcollections/hasm_b0925/ This is sheet music of "The Poor Little Rich Girl."**


 * [] This is an audio of the song "Rosie the Riveter."**


 * [] This is the sheet music for "Rosie the Riveter."**


 * [|www.­studsterkel.­org/­**//gwar.­php//**] Part 3: This is a Studs Terkel interview of Nora Watson who talks of her youth in a small southwestern Pennsylvania mining town in the 1940's and early 1950's.**

**﻿Mr. Rogers**

 * [] This is the audio of "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" or "Won't You Be My Neighbor?"**


 * [] This is the sheet music of "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" or "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" To view the sheet music at this site, click on the link to sheet music or click on the link below.**


 * I will continue the comparison of the past and the present in Pittsburgh. With that comparison will be the comparison of Andrew Carnegie and Mister Rogers and their contributions to Pittsburgh. The "Rosie the Riverter" song and sheet music reflect Pittsburgh's steel industry. Nora Watson's interview will give the children a peak at childhood in a mining town near Pittsburgh. The other sheet music compares children in the time of Andrew Carnegie and in the time of Mister Rogers.**

==**Learning Activity 6-D-1: Local Video and Maps**==


 * [] Fred Rogers persuades the Senate to fund Public Television by talking about quality television for children. He is powerful in his sincerity.**

I would use these two videos with our Heartwood Curriculum. This curriculum is about core values such as responsibility, integrity, courage, love, and justice. Mr. Rogers speaks of these values.
 * [] This is an interview of Fred Rogers about the Josie Carey Show and early television. Mr. Rogers also discusses the beginnings of his show, Mister Rogers**
 * Neighborhood.**

Many of these videos discuss jobs people have or how we make things. I would use this video when we talk about jobs in Pittsburgh, including jobs in the steel industry.
 * [] The links on this site lead to videos of some of the Mister Roger's Neighborhood shows.**

I would use this video to show children old film clips and to see Andrew Carnegie.
 * [] This is an early video clip of Andrew Carnegie at various public appearances.**

Children can use this map to explore Pittsburgh and to compare current Pittsburgh to the 1902 Pittsburgh.
 * [] This is an interactive map of Pittsburgh neighborhoods.**

Children will compare different maps of Pittsburgh. We'll use these videos in discussing Pittsburgh and the steel industry and jobs in Pittsburgh. Children will compare different maps of Pittsburgh. The **picture map is a good map for exploring Pittsburgh in the past. I'll use this map for a "scavenger hunt."**
 * __ [] __**
 * This is a political map of Pittsburgh in 1902. **
 * __ [] __ This is a short video about making steel. **
 * __ [] __ This is another short video about making steel. **
 * __ [] __ This is a short video about making coke, which is used in making steel. **
 * __ [] __ This is a short video about making steel. **
 * []** This is a flood map of Pittsburgh in 1902.
 * [] This is a picture map of Pittsburgh in 1902.**
 * I will use these videos and maps to continue the comparison of Pittsburgh in the past and present as well as continue our study of Mister Rogers and Andrew Carnegie.**
