Enlightenment studies are currently in a state of flux, with unresolved arguments among its adherents about its dates, its locations, and the contents of the 'movement'. This book cuts the Gordian knot. There are many books claiming to explain the Enlightenment, but most assume that it was a thing. J. C. D. Clark shows what it actually was, namely a historiographical concept. Currently 'the Enlightenment' is a term widely accepted across popular culture and in a variety of academic disciplines, notably history, philosophy, political theory, political science, literary studies, and theology; Clark calls for a fundamental reconsideration in each. The Enlightenment: An Idea and Its History provides a critical historical analysis of the Enlightenment in England, Scotland, France, Germany, and the United States from c. 1650 to the present. It argues that the degree of commonality between social and intellectual movements in each--and, more broadly, between the five societies--has been overstated for polemical purposes. Clark shows that the concept of 'the Enlightenment' was not widely adopted in those societies until the mid-twentieth century; indeed, that it was unknown in the eighteenth. Without the concept, people at the time were unable to act in ways that would have created the Enlightenment as a coherent movement. Since the conventional account has held that the Enlightenment was a phenomenon, the idea could be used as a component of what has been called a 'civil religion': a summing up of the myths of origin, aims, and essential values of a society from which dissent is not permitted. An appreciation that it was instead a historiographical concept undermines, in turn, the idea that there was any great transition to what came to be called 'modernity'.

Heroic Scale • Mount Rushmore • Keystone, SD • Sculptor: Gutzon Borglum Dynamite, scaffolding, winches, dangling bosun chairs and a temporary city of workers, laborers and support staff, over 400 in number, brought light to some of the darkest moments of the Great Depression, and an American icon to the hills of South Dakota. Their work, and the vision of Gutzon Borglum and the project’s unsung hero, Borglum’s son, the aptly named Lincoln, yielded Mt. Rushmore, an ode to patriotism that still draws almost 3 million visitors a year. A marvel of engineering, craft, dedication, ingenuity, patriotism and certainly, quirk on the grandest of scales, Mt. Rushmore still maintains the colossal nobility of its original intent. And here, the size is the thing. Of an almost incomprehensible scale, yet rendered with superb delicacy. Remarkably, over 90% of the work was done the Big Bang way, with dynamite removing the heftiest chunks of the mountain’s original granite face. It’s hard to believe such earth-shattering means found such refined result. And it was all PC: pre-CAD, pre computer… although now, a high tech project is documenting the mountain with laser-precision. The presidential choices were highly specific, based on the shaping principles their presidencies represented. Washington earned his place of prominence for laying the foundation for our nation’s democracy. Jefferson’s written eloquence, with our Declaration of Independence, secured his place (and also for the expansion of the states on his watch). Lincoln made the mountainous list for his unifying role during America’s Civil War. The Mt. Rushmore site page said it best: “Roosevelt was known as the ‘trust buster’ for his work to end large corporate monopolies and ensure the rights of the common working man.” Sounds like he’d be hanging down at Manhattan's Zuccotti Park with the Occupy Wall Streeters if he were still around. "The purpose of the memorial is to communicate the founding, expansion, preservation, and unification of the United States," wrote Borglum. The traits they represent and made them worth immortalizing in stone held great significance to a younger America, and extra significance now in a country that could benefit, it seems, from a return to these roots. It’s also not without its sense of divisiveness (a trait of tension shared by the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and Serra’s "Twain"). There were (and are) issues with the ownership of the original land, a Native American population that still lives in the mountain’s shadow. And it is a bit of all-American hubris, man-over mountain bravado that would no doubt ruffle the feathers of the Audobon Society were an artist to take dynamite once again to the Black Hills of South Dakota. Is it corny? Naïve? A little, and perhaps. But it is also a feat we are not apt to see duplicated ever in our lifetimes, and that is just one more thing that makes it worth note and honor. And not just because they just don’t make presidents like they used to. This mountain is worth visiting. And the principles of the men it monumentalizes are certainly worth revisiting. Perhaps now more than ever. Why are public art projects still so important? They create dialogue. They create points of pride. They encourage debate. They bring beauty. They help us honor the fallen and honor our neighbors. And sometimes, they pull us toward one big communal fire, as the stars drift overhead. There’s a lovely art to that. What permanent public art would you add to the list? And feel free to blur the lines on your own definition. All good art does.

Dehumanizing an enemy and striking primal fear into the hearts and minds of war-torn societies and malleable citizens has been the job of graphic designers and other visually astute practitioners. We call it war propaganda, but these overt messages are more than propagating a faith. They are manipulating behavior for generations to follow. These startling examples come from the Daily Mail in the U.K., from a story on how the Ministry of Information produced thousands of paper

We’ve covered the young presidents of USA already, but let’s broaden the scope now and take a rare glimpse at the leaders from around the world before they became the almighty God-like figures.
We have been studying the different types of government that can be found around the world today and throughout history. The most common include, Anarchy, Monarchy, Dictatorship, Oligarchy, Theocracy, Democracy, and Republic. In order to better understand these systems, we first applied hand motions to them (See THIS post to watch these in action), created a flip book with their definitions, and finally, ACTED them out with GUMMY BEARS! I got the idea for this off of a pinterest picture and decided that it could make a great review activity! Students worked with a partner to create their system of government "scene" acted out by the gummy bears. Once we had recreated the system of government, we drew a matching picture in our flip charts (either of the gummy bears or stick figures). The kiddos REALLY had a great time with this activity and I felt that it helped them solidify the different systems since they were having to create the definition in a visual way. It was SO cute listening to their ideas for how to make the system. Here are a few of my favorite depictions. Oligarchy - ruled by a rich and powerful few Monarchy - notice the "gummy" throne! This group created a voting booth for their Republic depiction :0) To see more of what we do during my Government Unit, Visit THIS post and THIS post. Here are more Government Activities:

Common Core Book Study Kindergarten Team Unit #5 Unit #5: The Great big World How the setting of fictional and informational texts differ I am going to keep this last post pretty simple. For unit 6, you will get a chance to visit someone else (-; The link at the bottom of this post for unit 6 is activated and should be available in the morning. Unit 5 Focus Standards: RL.K.3 RL.K.9 RI.K.9 W.K.6 W.K.8 L.K.2 L.K.2(d) I will focus on one objective from the book, one sample activity and a few suggested resources. Objective: Describe the connection between the settings of fictional works and informational books about the same place. This will give students exposure to sentence structure, adjectives that create a picture, and how many fictional settings can be based on real settings. Most students these days are so exposed to the media that trying to build some background information that allows students to connect this topic more closely with their lives, will require some discussion/examples that include media. This suggestion is not in the book. From my own experiences with kids, getting them to be aware of literary elements requires some comparison with things that they are used to. Introduce the topic and objective to your students & then organize and prepare to create a collaborative anchor chart with the students. I believe that this topic is often very confusing for some students in the beginning, especially your ELL or special education students. Building some background knowledge and preparing your students to really learn something about literary texts requires some planning and creativity. Here is my idea for a fun introduction to this topic (this is not in the book, but I am not really one to follow the crowd). I just came up with this in my head, so there are probably holes..hahaha - you are getting to witness my 3AM creativity in the works (-; Although, I have included a focus on our world, which the book does suggest. Maybe I will put this in my idea book and create a lesson in the next few weeks (-; Suggestions Use the movie, Madagascar, to show how a fictional story can take place in a real setting. There is even a French version of Madagascar!! I had no idea..LOL Show students where Madagascar is on a map. Based on the setting portrayed in the movie, ask your students what they think Madagascar will look like. This should be fun because kids LOVE this movie and if the kids are taking too long, you can chant - I LIKE TO MOVE IT, MOVE IT...hahaha Now, you can even integrate technology by visiting this AMAZING site and allowing kids to learn a little bit about what Madagascar REALLY looks like... You can discuss the differences and similarities of the movie setting compared to the REAL setting. Some things to create: A KWL chart, A Venn Diagram to compare the movie setting and the actual place, and an anchor chart. The anchor chart can remind students about fictional vs informational texts, and the elements of the setting in both genres. This site offers a virtual experience for kids to explore current information about Madagascar, watch videos, see expeditions, and learn about life there. It also has a great section for teachers and offers FREE lesson plans and resources to help you...Just click the image. Now, we need to introduce literary texts as samples of fictional works and informational texts of the same place....Here we go... Here are some books to choose from. It might even be a great idea to create themed lunch sacks that include a sample of a fictional work and an informational text, as well as some extra things for the kids to explore that go with the book. Maybe you could have a special item that is mentioned in both texts (could be an image of the item). Have students examine the item/image before reading/listening to the books. Once they have listened or read the books, explain and talk about the item from the bag that was significant to the setting in both texts. Allowing your students to engage, hands-on, as much as possible will give your students a much deeper understanding of the topic.
