West Side 5

Vocal jazz quintet West Side 5 is new to the New York scene, but not to each other and certainly not to jazz ensemble performance. Will, Lara, Eric, John and Sara first came to know each other through the Harvard college singing group, VoxJazz, all being members of various generations of the group. Since graduating, they have found each other again here in New York, and began rehearsing in Eric's 'West Side' apartment. Influenced by vocal jazz ensemble greats like the Real Group, Manhattan Transfer and the New York Voices, West Side 5 performs original interpretations of jazz, pop, and bossa nova standards at various venues in the New York/New Jersey area.

Both in college and in the years following, the members of West Side 5 have proved themselves to be musicians of professional quality - traveling the world with various ensembles, recording a dozen or so CD's amongst them, and performing on some of the world's most recognizable cities and stages - Carnegie Hall, L'Opera Garnier, Notre Dame, etc. Each member brings something unique and exciting to the group's sound - the whole is truly the sum of its parts.

Will Fithian - Bass
Lara Hirner - Soprano

The Origin of Species Is Published

Digitization Depot — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0500

The Origin of Species Is Published, Tuesday, 11/24

Published by John Murray of London on November 24, 1859, Charles Darwin�s On the Origin of Species celebrates its 150th anniversary. A seminal work of scientific literature, Darwin�s book upheld the theory of natural selection and presented a body of evidence that the diversity of life arose through a pattern of evolution and common descent � in more popular terms, that man evolved from ape.

In recognition of Darwin�s landmark publication, stories will be posted from major newspapers illustrating the controversy to this day and its implications for education, including the far reaching consequences of Scopes "Monkey Trial," a turning point in the controversy over creation versus evolution and what can legally be taught in schools.

News Display: The Gettysburg Address, Thursday, 11/19

The Everett Cafe features thematic news displays on a wide range of educational topics, in addition to daily postings of headlines from around the world. Stay tuned into current events and reflect on how the media influences teaching and learning.

The Gettysburg Address, Thursday, 11/19

"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met here on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of it as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But in a larger sense we can not dedicate - we can not consecrate - we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled, here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but can never forget what they did here.

It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they have, thus far, so nobly carried on. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us - that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion - that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom; and that this government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
(Abraham Lincoln Online)

Delivered by President Abraham Lincoln at the dedication of the Soldiers National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on November 19, 1863, the Gettysburg Address is one of greatest and most famous speeches in American history. Lincoln referred to the events of the Civil War and redefined the purpose of the Union in fighting it.

The Gottesman Libraries will feature newspaper stories that document the history and significance of the Gettysburg Address.

For drafts of the Gettysburg Address, Lincoln�s invitation to Gettysburg, photograph of Lincoln, and more information please visit the Library of Congress exhibition.

The Berlin Wall Falls

The Berlin Wall Falls, Monday, 11/9

November 11, 2009 marks the 20th anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall, a 28 mile barrier prompted by the Soviet Union and built in 1961 by the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) to block out Western Germany. The Wall, which comprised guard towers lining large concrete walls encircling a wide area, symbolized the Iron Curtain, an ideological and physical boundary that divided Europe into separate areas with different economic and military alliances. Thousands of people tried to escape and many died.

The Berlin Wall came down after weeks of civil unrest; East Germany finally announced that citizens could visit West Germany. The fall of the barrier paved the way for the reunification of Germany, the end of the Cold War, and the spread of democracy through many European countries.

In remembrance headlines will be exhibited about the Berlin Wall and its momentous collapse. For live coverage of the Fall be sure to check out the BBC and ABC news reports.

Election Day

Election Day, Tuesday, 11/3

Occurring on the Tuesday after the first Monday of November, Election Day is the day for the election of pubic officials in the United States. On Tuesday, November 3, 2009 there is an "off year election," or election held in an odd-numbered year, meaning that the only elections in the Congress are special elections, with a few gubernatorial and mayoral races and state legislative actions, local offices, and citizen initiatives.

The uniform date was set by Congress in 1845, with Presidential elections to be held in even years divisible by four. Tuesday was settled on because it did not pose schedule conflicts with Biblical Sabbath or market day.

This year Election Day in New York City will call upon voters to cast their ballots for candidates running for the offices of Mayor, public advocate, comptroller, borough president, and multiple city council districts. On November 3, the Gottesman Libraries will post stories about the current election, as well as the history of Election Day.

For information about local elections please see the Board of Elections in New York City.

Disability Awareness

Disability Awareness, Monday, 10/26-Friday,
10/30

"Well, I'm sort of a person on the outside and when I look at this person with a wheelchair experience [there�s] a kind of fear � how do I interact with this person, what do I say to him, if I say do you want to go up the stairs and he might say, what are you an idiot, of course I want to go up the stair, idiot -- look for special people on the top of the stairs that would help, because I could not carry him up, he's a big guy � how do I solve this problem � so I don't know how to socially interact with this person, I'll give you a minor special experience ...there was a person with MS that I was called to wheel around and so, I never pushed a wheelchair before so I felt unskilled. And she had to give me all kinds of directions, how do you get into the elevator without bumping something, and how do you get into the doorway and I think I bumped her at 1 point so it is not easy for 1 person to -- I'd say this there is this fear of inadequacy, and how to relate to people with disabilities."
-- Transcription from "Challenging Abelism: A Socratic Conversation"

These anonymous words show depth of emotion and thought as they speak to the challenges of disability, hidden and not so hidden, from both sides of the spectrum � at a certain level, the one who is physically challenged, and at the next, the one trying to help. The experience calls to greater mind our responsibility as individuals, educators, and citizens in providing and promoting access and service to persons with special needs. In support of Disability Awareness Week, we will examine coverage of the issues in major media, as we continue to ponder how we should think, talk, feel, and act regarding disabilities.

Be sure to check out additional activities, including the slide show on disability awareness; book talk with Christoph Keller; film screening of Moon Sun Flower Game, and next Socratic conversation, What Can People with Disabilities Help Us Learn About How to Live Well?

First Oscar Night, Thursday, 10/29

"The Envelope, Please." These familiar words echo in the hearts and minds of movie lovers and all those connected to film. The Academy Awards, more popularly known as the Oscars, are presented annually by the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to recognize the excellence of professionals in the film industry, including actors, actresses, directors, writers, producers, and technicians. The Oscar statuette (reputably named by Bette Davis after her husband, Harmon Oscar Nelson, band leader) depicts an Art-Deco knight brandishing a sword as he stands upon a reel of film with five spokes symbolizing the several kinds of recipient.

The first Academy Awards were held on May 16, 1929, hosted by Douglas Fairbanks, actor, and William C. deMille, director. The first televised ceremony in black and white took place in 1953; in 1966 came color broadcast. In the last decade the Oscars were shown in more than 100 countries.

The next Oscar Night is expected to air around the 7th of March 2010. Thinking ahead to the lavish star-studded ceremony, the Gottesman Libraries will display headlines portraying the annual celebration.

English Language Learners Day by Day, K-6, Wednesday, 11/18, 4-5:30pm

Christina M. Celic, Teachers College graduate in Bilingual-Bicultural Education, will speak on her new publication, English Language Learners Day by Day, K-6: A Complete Guide to Literacy, Content-Area, and Language Instruction (Heinemann, 2009). Including a foreword by Ofelia Garcia, Celic�s foundational guide confronts the challenges of ESL, bilingual, and mainstream teachers who work with English language learners, and responds with realistic and practical solutions. It helps answer the question, "How can I teach the grade-level curriculum in a way that makes my English language learners successful?" Celic shows what best practices look like on a day-to-day basis from day one, integrating literacy and content area instruction; teaching academic language throughout the curriculum; and differentiating instruction to meet individual learning needs.

Coming from a family of educators, Christina Celic has been an ESL and bilingual teacher in New York and Illinois, as well as a staff developer in New York City and Sao Paulo, Brazil. She taught at P.S. 212, a public elementary school in a diverse immigrant community in Queens, New York, and served as a literacy coach at P.S. 165, a dual language school in Manhattan's Upper West Side.

Harlem on Our Minds

Digitization Depot — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0500

Harlem on Our Minds, Monday, 11/16, 4-5:30pm

On Monday, November 16 Valerie Kinloch will read and discuss Harlem on Our Minds: Place, Race, and the Literacies of Urban Youth (Teachers College Press, 2009).

"In her new book, Valerie Kinloch investigates how the lives and literacies of youth in New York City�s historic Harlem are affected by public attempts to gentrify the community. Kinloch draws connections between race, place, and students� literate identity through collaborative interviews between youth, teachers, longtime black residents, and their new white neighbors. Harlem on Our Minds is a participatory action narrative that makes emerging theories of social ecology real for the high-school English classroom. Vividly drawn lessons show how teachers can engage urban youth in school-based literacy, by linking canonical text, particularly of the Harlem renaissance, to current events. Centered on the literacy stories of two African American youth and their peers, this book for our times showcases the multimodal literacy practices of urban youth through photos, writing samples, student-designed research projects, and more; weaves in multiple voices and perspectives through response pieces by project participants, local teachers, graduate students, and a community activist; and features teaching strategies and reflection points in each chapter." (Teachers College Press).

Dr. Valerie Kinloch is an Associate Professor in Adolescent Literacy and English Education in the College of Education and Human Ecology at The Ohio State University. She earned her B.A. in Honors English at Johnson C. Smith University, her M.A. in English and African American Literature at Wayne State University, and her Ph.D. in English/Composition and Rhetoric at Wayne State University. Prior to joining the faculty in the College of Education at OSU, Valerie Kinloch was on faculty at Teachers College, Columbia University in New York City. She worked with students and teachers at local urban high schools in New York, and was a visiting senior English instructor at a high school in Harlem. She also worked as a Writing Resident in an urban middle school through the Writers-In-The-Schools program in Houston, Texas.

Dr. Kinloch�s previous books include: June Jordan: Her Life and Letters (Praegar, 2006) and Still Seeking an Attitude: Critical Reflections of the Work of June Jordan (Lexington Books, 2004). Her next book-in-progress is tentatively titled, Critical Perspectives on Education in Urban Settings.

This book talk is co-sponsored by the Gottesman Libraries and Teachers College Press.
