Du Bois believed that if education remained uncared for, than each new generation of the negro youth would continue to suffer from…

This activity is one of the traditional games the Iroquois would play. The snow snake game was played in the winter, in an area with enough space, after the hunting men came back. The game would be a large celebration that the women and kids would get into as well. It could be comparable to football and baseball games because all the families and friends would come to cheer on their favorite player. Each player carved a piece of wood into a spear shape with a curved end. Then, the player would…

I was able to spend at least twenty hours in a 1st grade classroom at Beaver Run Elementary school over the past couple months. It has been a wonderful experience and has shown me a lot of great examples of what we have been reviewing and learning in class. I have turned this into a personal field trip by taking note of the many different and educational experiences that have been going on within my first grade classroom. I have gone through what we have learned in ELED 304 and picked some of…

After his own invention murdered his closest family and friends, Victor vowed to revenge their deaths. He persistently…
