THE ART WINDOW (GR. 4-12) The Art Window presents Fine Art concepts with student work as teaching displays. These exemplify a stated art curriculum offering sample links as topic examples. A separate directory offers explorations in Art Fundamentals, Drawing, Graphic, Painting, 3D, Mixed Media and Word art. It is intended for teachers, students, and all who many never had opportunities to enjoy the "doing" of art. Pages explore basics in art experiences and techniques at various levels of competence with light, friendly content. It is an open invitation to succeed.
WORLD HISTORY AND GEOGRAPHY (GR. 9-12) It is the goal of this website to benefit students by offering teachers a useful guide to teaching world history and geography. Materials available on this website range from a teaching rationale to classroom activities to a textbook - or, more accurately, a concise textbook alternative. These materials should be considered working drafts to be improved upon or replaced with better materials through a dialogue among teachers. In this way, every teacher need not reinvent the wheel. Education can become more effective if we build on experience and develop an institutional memory.
THE THOREAU READER (TEACHERS) The Thoreau Reader includes annotated versions of Walden, "Civil Disobedience," "Walking," and the Ktaadn section of The Maine Woods. Some of Thoreau's references can be obscure, and the annotations can help. The website format allows teachers to print separate chapters, and assign them to different students or groups, so that students can learn from each other.
