China Ancient and Modern: Geography, History and Culture
The entry of China onto the world scene as a major economic force in the 20th and 21st century motivated the creation of this 4 to 6 week study for 8th, 9th, or 10th grade. This study surveys the geography and terrain of the Asian continent, and proceeds through the cultural development of this civilization from the very earliest dynasties to the modern-day.

The Art of the Short Story with Charcoal Drawing Plot Development
Here is a scene, drawn entirely in black and white, of a frozen and desolate landscape that the student may draw to support a story such as Jack London’s To Build a Fire. A frozen stream is seen in the foreground. I created the drawing with white lead pencil (Prismacolor white) on black paper (inexpensive black construction paper). Notice how the brightest whites are in the foreground, and the dimmest whites are in the background.

The Art of the Short Story with Charcoal Drawing
In this 3 to 4 week study the students encounter some of the greatest short stories ever written and learning from these, practice the elements of story writing such as character development, setting and atmosphere, creating a plot, foreshadowing, etc. The goal is for the student to create a short story of his/her own. Included also in this study are sequential lessons in the art of charcoal drawing.

Criticisms of Marxism
This is one of the most common criticisms of Marxist ideas: that in practice, Marxist societies do not work and rather than leading to a condition of equality, lead rather to totalitarian governments. In the Marxist ideal, the executive committee ruling class who orchestrate the last stage of revolution leading to the classless society should wither away as the class distinctions begin to disappear.

World History
This historical overview of the 20th century can be used for teaching a 3 to 4 week block in 8th or 9th grade. It begins with the great land grab of the late 19th century: British Imperialism, and European colonization of entire continents. These acquisitions were the prizes that awaited the victors of World War I, carried out with such ferocity that half the male population of Europe was decimated in four short years.

opic: Adiabatic Temperature Changes Chinooks, Santa Anas, and the Foehn
When air expands, its temperature decreases; when air is compressed, its temperature increases. These principles of the physics of air are at work in the many manifestations of weather. It is common to most firsthand life experience that the higher elevations within the same locale are generally cooler than the lower elevations.

Topic: A Few Facts about American Nutrition
In this lesson, the teacher will present some of these startling facts listed ahead that can be elaborated upon and discussed. If you are not already aware of these facts, hopefully, it will make your hair stand on end. Try to put these facts together in a way that leads the student to see correlations. In other words, each bulleted fact should tell us something about preferences, eating habits, health, the food industry, etc.

Hygeia – Nutrition and Physiology
Unless it has been spoiled, the young child is endowed with an instinctual sense of healthy nutrition. However, this instinctual wisdom goes away as a child enters into puberty. Hence, the importance of the study of nutrition and the physiological processes associated with the substances that enter our body. This study gets right into the nitty-gritty of the topics of obesity, bulimia and anorexia as well as the effects of taking smoke into one’s lungs.

Chemistry
This 3 week main lesson study is an introduction to the basic processes in inorganic chemistry. Beginning with various manifestations of combustion including the phenomenon of oxidation, the lessons and demonstrations then move into the salt forming process (acid and bases) and finally the qualities of solutions, solvents, and catalysts.
One way to begin a lesson in nineteenth century history is to create a sense of perspective by accenting the differences between the world then and now. It is helpful to remind students of how strikingly different the world was just 200 years ago—no electricity, no phones, no cars, trains or planes, not even a steam ship. Travel was by horse or on foot. The telegraph was two generations away. Photography had yet to be developed. Steam Ship, Ship Travel
