Cette semaine, la une est sur le bien-être des jeunes et le
travail des enfants, dans le cadre de KidsHealth, le thème pour le mois
d'octobre. Des pistes pour les aider à être mieux dans leur tête et dans la
société, et pour prendre conscience des enfants dont le travail est
exploité dans le monde. Dans la foulée, voyez un texte sur la condition des
femmes sportives dans les pays musulmans, le dernier Reality Show de NBC,
et une réflexion de parents sur la violence dans les films. Vous trouverez
aussi des sites sur les élections américaines, un dossier sur la
'frontière' , des sites utilisables en cours d'anglais ou en
interdisciplinarité, d'autres pour apprendre à rédiger un texte et le
publier, et une vision globale de l'histoire de l'éducation.
Bonne lecture!

Ten-year-old Moen Sen wondered what her friends would say if she told them
that she did not like Harry Potter -- the boy the whole world loves. It is
an interesting article for it tells us a little of how a certain opinion is
created about a book in the media, and people by and large feel that they
would be ridiculed if they did not think similarly.

US Elections

Presidential Elections, 1860-1884 (The Scout Report -- September 29)
--------------------------------------
Harpweek recently launched a new site featuring nineteenth-century
political cartoons and prints. It offers
close to 200 political cartoons and prints commenting on US
presidential elections between 1860 and 1876 (1880 and 1884 will be
added in October). The images are drawn from periodicals such as
_Harper's Weekly_, _Vanity Fair_, and _Puck_, as well as the Library
of Congress political print collection, and feature famous
cartoonists and artists such as Thomas Nast, Matt Morgan, A.B. Frost,
and Joseph Keppler. The cartoons and prints are organized by election
and candidate, and are displayed with captions and links to
additional information such as a timeline, campaign issues, political
tactics, and biographies.

The Great Debate & Beyond: The History of Televised Presidential Debates
(The Scout Report -- September 29)
--------------------------------------
http://www.mbcnet.org/debateweb/
Created by the Museum of Broadcast Communications, this site explores
the history of televised presidential debates. The online exhibit is
composed of four sections. The first explores the "The Great Debate"
of 1960, the first televised presidential debate between John F.
Kennedy and Richard M. Nixon, with a fifteen-minute documentary,
reflections from people who were present, written and video
commentary, a bibliography, and the debate broadcast in its entirety.
The second section, Presidential Debate History, 1960-1996, offers
video clips, photos, news headlines, and documents from each of the
presidential debates. The third section examines the impact of
television on the political process with essays, interviews, and
statistics, while the final section offers a well-developed
collection of curriculum resources for teachers and students. This is
a nicely crafted and very useful site which also offers a non-Flash
version for users with slower connections. [MD]
[ pour lycée et postbac. un site superbe, qui permet d'entrer dans quelques
grands débats politiques des USA et de les analyser. Utilisable en TPE

Stephen Hawking's Universe (WOW> W.O.W. Web Sites - 9/29/00)
--------------------------------------
"Space. The final frontier." The opening line
of "Star Trek" and "The Next Generation"
resonates with this page, from the program guide
to physicist Stephen Hawking's PBS special. Here,
he describes the different theories scientists
have used throughout history to explain the
origins and nature of our universe. Was there
a big bang? Will the universe stretch out
forever?

Become a virtual pioneer at this page from the
Oregon-California Trails Association. Learn

the trail in whatever order you wish.

[ une visite guidée, avec des paysages et des témoignages]

The Cherokee Trail of Tears (WOW> W.O.W. Web Sites - 9/29/00)
--------------------------------------
As more and more American settlers traveled west,
they displaced the Native American tribes who had
been living on their land for thousands of years.
The Federal Indian Removal Policy marched members
of the Cherokee tribe from Tennessee to Oklahoma
through dangerous conditions and harsh winter
weather. Nearly one-fifth of the Cherokee
population died during this forced march, which
is how it got its name -- The Trail of Tears.

Advanced Buildings: Technologies and Practices (The Scout Report --September 29)
--------------------------------------
http://www.advancedbuildings.org/
Thermally broken balconies, Low-nox burners, greywater recycling, and
indoor air biofilters are just a few of the aspects of
energy-efficient building technologies found at this Website from
Natural Resources Canada. Here users will find a well-organized index
of topics subdivided into pages featuring descriptions, benefits and
limitations, costs, building uses, and development statuses of 90
building technologies. Most pages contain color images and schematics
of the technological design and links to related experts and
industries for each technology. Also featured is an informative case
study that takes an in-depth look at the technology and construction
of Canada's first building built to meet the requirements of the
C-2000 program (described at the site). A boolean-type search engine
and links page are also provided. This is an excellent resource for
engineers, architects, and builders concerned with designing and
producing energy-efficient, waste- and water-reducing "smart"
buildings. [HCS]

Teaching History With Technology (The Scout Report -- September 29)

http://www.caryacademy.pvt.k12.nc.us/historytech/
This new, free, biannual online journal is designed to help middle
school and high school history and social studies teachers better
integrate technology into their classrooms. Hosted and sponsored by
the Cary Academy in Cary, North Carolina, each issue will feature
three or four articles by teachers explaining how they have
incorporated technology to enhance their students's learning
experiences. For instance, the inaugural issue features pieces on
students creating an online museum, Web-enhanced courses and online
learning, virtual field-trips, and online research and
student-produced Webpages. Submissions are welcome, and information
is provided at the site. [MD]

Public Records Office Virtual Museum (The Scout Report -- September 29)
--------------------------------------
http://learningcurve.pro.gov.uk/virtualmuseum/intro.htm
The National Archives has created this virtual museum to showcase
artifacts from its permanent collection that documents 1,000 years of
British history. Although the site has some minor design flaws, such
as light text that horizontally scrolls across dark, busy
backgrounds, and .pdf files that are not clearly identified as such,
its structure supports those who want to use historical objects to
illustrate history. The site is organized into a series of galleries,
such as Kings and Queens, Famous Names, War & Defense, and Invention,
Fashion & Design. Each Gallery starts with a short essay, and
includes images of eight to ten artifacts. For example, the Famous
Names Gallery begins by reminding us that in our unequal society, we
tend to have more material documenting the rich than the rest of us,
and includes Shakespeare's will, a print depicting the funeral of
Lord Nelson, the document recording Sir Elton John's official name
change in 1972, and a photo of Charlie Chaplin with Prime Minister
Ramsey MacDonald. Copies of the essays and images with their captions
can be downloaded as .pdf files. [DS]
[un site superbe qui présente de nombreux document organisés par thèmes.
Vous pourrez les choisir en fonction du niveau de vos élèves et de
l'actualité. Voyez par exemple 'crime and punishments' et la confession de
Guy Fawkes (retranscrite pour être lisible)

The Van Morrison Website (The Scout Report -- September 29)
--------------------------------------
http://www.harbour.sfu.ca/~hayward/van/van.html
This impressive, long-running fan site is maintained by Michael
Hayward of Vancouver. Visitors will find pretty much all they ever
wanted to know and more about Van the Man and his music. Resources
include an extensively detailed discography (including video, radio,
and bootlegs), a bibliography, song lyrics, a glossary of terms and
references, reviews and interviews, and information on Van Morrison
mailing lists. The site also offers a nice search feature and a
what's new listing. Not only is the site the most comprehensive
resource for Van Morrison on the net, but it is also one of the
best-organized and richest fan sites the _Scout Report_ has ever
reviewed. [MD]
