Last week in my 8th grade Georgia Studies class, we learned about the regions of Georgia and various points of interest in the state. On Monday, I began telling the students to bring in toothpicks and gel icing because they would need it to take a test...one they could eat! This really sparked their interest, so they immediately began bringing in the requested items. On Thursday, I gave each student a handout with a map of Georgia. I told them this would be the size of their exam. I also told them the regions and various points of interest I expected them to know for the test on Monday. In the past when I have used this activity in my classroom, I put the students into groups of four students per group. This year I decided I wanted the students to complete this activity individually. I knew it would be a little more preparation work on my part, but I wanted to experiment and try it out this way. On Sunday, I spent several hour in the kitchen. I made a wax paper template of the map of Georgia (from the handout I gave the students). I used my grandmother's old cookie recipe (1 box yellow cake mix, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup of oil). I mixed the dough and then spooned some onto a large cookie sheet. Then I used a rolling pin to smooth the dough. I used the wax paper template and traced the outline of Georgia in the dough. I removed all excess dough and repeated this process until I had several cookies on the pan. I baked them in the oven for approximately six minutes. I continued tracing and baking until I had all of the cookies I needed. I also had a lot of help from my four-year old daughter who loves to help bake! Once all of the cookies were baked and cooled, I put a cookie for each student on its own plate. I then stacked the plates and put them in containers for safe-keeping. Then I waited until Monday morning to arrive! I distributed the "cookie" maps to each student. They were given labels to make location flags with their toothpicks. This was the first time I printed out the labels for them, and it worked so smoothly. Once their location flags were assembled, they were able to begin dividing their "cookie" maps into regions. The gel icing works best for this because it goes on smooth and isn't too thick. Below are some pictures of a couple of my students' edible maps. They had fun taking this test! Not only were they showing their knowledge, but they were creating memories that will go with them forever. I had to work quickly to get around to grading each "cookie" map before they devoured them. On their way out of the classroom, one of my students said, "This is by far the coolest thing we have done!" Score a point or two for me today. We will see what else I can develop to keep their attentions this year! If you teach about Georgia and are interested in the handouts I used, click HERE to go to my TpT store. It has the handouts for completing this activity as a group or individually.

Dark-skinned individuals known as Melungeons from the Appalachian area of N. America were thought to be the descendants of Portuguese explorers, Turkish slaves, Native Americans or Gypsies. Now DNAtesting has proven that the Melungeons are a mixed race group whose ancestry is found in Sub-Sahara Africa and Northern or Central Europe. A study published in the Journal of Genetic Genealogy has caused a bit of a stir among descendants. "There were a whole lot of people upset by this study," lead researcher Roberta Estes said. "They just knew they were Portuguese, or Native American." Estes and her fellow researchers theorize that the various Melungeon lines may have sprung from the unions of black and white indentured servants living in Virginia in the mid-1600s, before slavery Continue reading the full article at Melungeon DNA Study Reveals Ancestry, Upsets 'A Whole Lot Of People' You may also download Ms. Estes jointly-authored paper “Melungeons: A Multi-Ethnic Population” Credits: "A typical malungeon" was published in 1890 by Will Allen Dromgoole, it found in Nashville Sunday American, August 31, 1890

Highlights Is it ever morally wrong to enjoy fantasizing about immoral things? About the Author: Christopher Bartel is Professor of Philosophy at Appalachian State University, USA. 202 Pages Philosophy, Aesthetics Description Book Synopsis Is it ever morally wrong to enjoy fantasizing about immoral things? Many video games allow players to commit numerous violent and immoral acts. But, should players worry about the morality of their virtual actions? A common argument is that games offer merely the virtual representation of violence. No one is actually harmed by committing a violent act in a game. So, it cannot be morally wrong to perform such acts. While this is an intuitive argument, it does not resolve the issue. Focusing on why individual players are motivated to entertain immoral and violent fantasies, Video Games, Violence, and the Ethics of Fantasy advances debates about the ethical criticism of art, not only by shining light on the interesting and under-examined case of virtual fantasies, but also by its novel application of a virtue ethical account. Video games are works of fiction that enable players to entertain a fantasy. So, a full understanding of the ethical criticism of video games must focus attention on why individual players are motivated to entertain immoral and violent fantasies. Video Games, Violence, and the Ethics of Fantasy engages with debates and critical discussions of games in both the popular media and recent work in philosophy, psychology, media studies, and game studies. Review Quotes "One of the pleasures of reading this book is found in Bartel's rigorously researched and careful defense of his position on philosophical grounds. His use of scenarios from published games to illustrate ethical quandaries will make the book engaging and understandable for a range of readers." --CHOICE "Bartel's insight into one of the most pressing topics in video game ethics is a major contribution to the field. For anyone interested in the moral considerations at play in gaming, this is your book." --Morgan Luck, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Charles Stuart University, Australia "Bartel has written a highly-readable, yet nuanced, virtue ethical account of the moral evaluation of game play. It raises the bar for those interested in ethics and games, and I have no doubt that this book will have a significant impact on video games studies for some time to come." --Stephanie Patridge, Professor of Philosophy, Otterbein University, USA "Christopher Bartel has written a very accessible book, which is a worthwhile read for both ethicists interested in the ethical dimensions of virtual violent actions, as well as for scholars coming from game studies interested in the philosophy of video games. The approachable argumentation and easily application ideas in the book will also support those who want to engage in uncomfortable debates in a game industry that is unfortunately still unequal and at times hostile towards minorities." --Ethical Perspectives "Video Games, Violence and the Ethics of Fantasy is an intriguing, thought-provoking read." --New Humanist About the Author Christopher Bartel is Professor of Philosophy at Appalachian State University, USA.
