Re: [LM_NET] HIT: SEC: Inauguration day Activities

[Sara Kelly Johns <sarakellyjohns@YAHOO.COM>]

Here' s some resources, Linda, from posts on AASLForum by Alma Ramos-McDermott and 
Ann Marie Pipkin:

RESOURCES
http://inaugural.senate.gov/history/daysevents/index.cfm
This is a nice set of slides that covers the 9 major events of the day. The other 
links on the page are helpful for a more in-depth study. Lots of interesting 
'firsts.'
 
http://www2.scholastic.com/browse/article.jsp?id=5768
This is a first hand report from a young student, now a teen, of his first 
inaugural experience. Nice viewpoint.

This site lists many resources, video tours of the White House and some 
reproducible materials.

 don't know if you can use these for elementary school; however, here are some:

Library of Congress
http://www.memory.loc.gov/learn/features/inaug/inaug.html

C-Span Resources (includes high/middle school worksheet)
http://www.c-span.org/classroom/govt/inauguration.asp

Teacher Vision (includes lesson plan on inaugural poetry)
http://www.teachervision.fen.com/elections/teacher-resources/6615.html

We Must Not Be Enemies: Lincoln's First Inaugural Address
http://edsitement.neh.gov/view_lesson_plan.asp?id=246

Great Presidential Inauguration Websites
http://www.ourwhitehouse.org/greatinaugsites.html

These should be of help.

I found this site. I don't know how much bandwidth will be required to watch. Our 
district is discouraging live streaming, as it'll slow down the district servers if 
too many teachers do so, and may cause them to crash.
 
Instead, a suggested plan is to get as many classes as possible into a large room 
and show it on a tv that's hooked up to a screen.

I didn't get many responses, but what I did get is below.  Additionally, I
found a couple of websites I hope will be useful to help me plan activities!

http://www.annieshomepage.com/inauguration.html

 http://www.vrml.k12.la.us/curriculum/holidays/inauguration/inauguration.htm

*********************

Please post a hit when you get ideas - Our school is planning an all school
activities day and we are looking for ideas!

**********************
I hope to find streaming video on the web and run it through a projector onto
the big screen in the library. I will publicize this and invite people to wander
in. Many of our students have Obama t-shirts (against dress code) & I'm
going to ask if they will be allowed for the day. Shouldn't be a
problem--the principal has one too!

I would like to have a schedule of events. I'm thinking the actual
swearing-in will be around 11 a.m. CST, which is during lunch when a lot of
people could come. Maybe we could have food!

In addition, this was another HIT posted re:  inauguration day

Happy New Year, lm_net!

I only received one hit so I did a little research myself and found this =
great site:
=20
http://inaugurationday2009.com/broadcast.html
=20
it includes lists of Where to Watch on TV, Radio, and Online:

for the internet it says:

"Major news web sites will offer live streaming video and audio of the =
ceremony. Details have not been announced -- but look here for links."
