But, something happened, and the community changed. Explain that in today’s lesson, they will take a close look at a city neighborhood that was not a nice place to live. Remind them that they have learned both about people and places in communities. Ask them to tell you about some of the things they have been learning in their Unit of Inquiry on communities. (Key Concepts: Change and Responsibility.) Lesson Outline: 1. Working individually, make a simple sketch to show how an unkept urban neighborhood can become an attractive and healthy neighborhood. (AASL 3.1.5, “Connect learning to community issues.”) Suggested Time: To understand that people’s actions influence the communities in which they live and that it is possible to create a lovely neighborhood through hard work and care for the environment. I use the same text in Grade 3’s Urban Planning unit, but this version is adapted for younger students. It is a challenge, but they love it and are drawn into the story through their own efforts to understand the images. The text is wordless, so children work out and tell the story as they go. From urban blight to urban paradise, the gradual unfolding of home and community takes place under Baker’s masterful designs. In this lesson, students use the mixed media masterpiece by Jeannie Baker to take a detailed look at how people can transform their communities.

Believing that intellectual activity would overwhelm the fragile female mind, "rest cure" refers to the prevention of women from thinking, relying on the assumption that the natural state of the female mind was one of emptiness. Known as the "rest cure," women who displayed signs of depression or anxiety were committed to lie in bed for weeks at a time, and allowed no more than twenty minutes of intellectual exertion a day. More than merely a narrative of female intellectual oppression or a critique of late 19th century social mores, "The Yellow Wallpaper" documents a practice that was common among the middle and upper class. Gilman's novel is even more relevant today than when it was first printed. The windows of the room are barred, and there is a gate across the top of the stairs, allowing her husband to control her access to the rest of the house. She is forbidden from working and has to hide her journal from him, so she can recuperate from what he calls a "temporary nervous depression – a slight hysterical tendency," a diagnosis common to women in that period. Presented in the first person, the story is a collection of journal entries written by a woman (Jane) whose physician husband (John) has confined her to the upstairs bedroom of a house he has rented for the summer. It is regarded as an important early work of American feminist literature, illustrating attitudes in the 19th century toward women's physical and mental health. The Yellow Wallpaper is a story by the American writer Charlotte Perkins Gilman. With hindsight I should have just stayed here forever because it was my favourite, favourite job. I was tasked with coming up with an events and exhibition programme when I worked here, but before that I’d actually been a student using the archives when I was studying for my PhD and that was when they were back in Chancery Lane so that really is casting my mind back some way.Īnd then of course they moved lock, stock and barrel to Kew and that’s where I was based and it was just one of those jobs that I will always remember. Terrifyingly, I was just sitting and working out how many years it was since I worked here and it was 14 years ago that I first discovered the wonders of Kew, certainly as an employee anyway. Thank you very much, well, what a great pleasure it is to return to Kew, to my old stomping ground. Campbell’s personal glass ceiling, but since we have agreed to his need to retroactively fuck off let's remember women were publishing in Sci-fi, and Tiptree was a pen name for other reasons. Sure Judith Merrill may have needed to make party part bets to break John W. When Lisa Yasek collected stories for the Library of America’s The Future is Female there was no shortage of stories and authors to choose from. Judith Merrill, Joanna Russ, and Ursala K Leguin were just some of the giants in the field at the time. While there is evidence of DC AKA Dorothy Fontana had done this to sell western scripts in TV at the time, the science fiction community had several active female voices at the time. Let’s get one thing clear, Alice Sheldon didn’t choose a man’s name to get published in the 60s and 70s science fiction community. She led an interesting life that is often misunderstood. The truth about this writing life is strange for sure. Locus Award Nominee for Best Collection (1991)įor any other author, this life story would be the case of truth being stronger than fiction, but in the case of Uncle Tip, AKA James Tiptree Jr., AKA Alice Sheldon the fiction is really fucking strange.
