Traveling to Alaska Specific Purpose: To inform my classmates about visiting interesting places in five regions of Alaska. Central Idea: Southeastern, South Central, Southwest, Interior and Far North regions of Alaska have their own identities and attractions. 1. Introduction Alaska is the largest state in the country and also it is home to the biggest national parks, the longest chain of volcanoes, glaciers and spectacular places for wildlife watching. Main Points:
For my project, I will be doing research on Cascade Park, which is located in New Castle, PA. Throughout the 1900’s, Cascade Park was one of the most popular tourist attractions in Western Pennsylvania. Cascade Park was known for its one of a kind roller coasters, unique food, and other exciting attractions, activities, and events. This piece of land is naturally beautiful due to the Wisconsin Glacier, which left a path across North America about 20,000 years ago. Ancient trees, natural waterfalls, huge boulders, and rich soil were the result.
Reminders of Juneau’s past abound in the city. The Davis Log Cabin, built in 1881, was the community’s first church and is now the visitor information center. Consider a visit to the St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Church, which was built in 1894 and is considered the oldest original Orthodox Church in Southeast Alaska. Other city attractions include the Juneau Douglas City Museum, the pioneer cemetery, and the Wickersham House. The Mendenhall Valley, located outside Juneau and below the Mendenhall Glacier, contains a residential area, a commercial business complex, and the Juneau Airport.
A popular and financially successful writer, Lucy Maud Montgomery MacDonald (1874-1942) is considered one of Canada's best known and most enduring authors. Her appeal crosses the boundaries of time, age, culture, and gender. Her works are translated into more than a dozen languages; she inspires serious scholarly work and maintains international best-selling status with her shrewd portraits, her minute chronicling of Island and Canadian customs, and her compelling recreations of Island land and seascapes. Montgomery's influence is felt today in almost every area of life on Prince Edward Island -- in education, research, the arts and theatre communities, tourism, land and building preservation, crafts councils, private businesses, and government policies and decisions. Internationally today Montgomery's works are recognized as touchstones for Canadian culture.
Carter’s arrangements and settings have and continue to be performed by orchestras and choirs throughout the world. Unquestionably gifted composer-arranger, it is Carter’s arrangement of “Lift Every Voice and Sing” that is most often used to present the anthem in formal settings. “Lift Every Voice and Sing”; often called "The Negro National Hymn," "The Negro National Anthem," "The Black National Anthem," or "The African-American National Anthem", was written by a poet called James Weldon Johnson (1871-1938) and then set to music by his brother John Rosamond Johnson (1873-1954) in 1900. Singing this song quickly became a way for African Americans to demonstrate their patriotism and hope for the future. In calling for earth and heaven to "ring with the harmonies of Liberty," they could speak out subtly against racism and especially the huge number of lynching’s accompanying the rise of the Ku Klux Klan at the turn of the century.
The San Agustin Cathedral The San Agustin Roman Catholic Cathedral is a long-standing well-known building located in a south Texas border town named Laredo. This city was founded in 1755 by Don Tomas, and is one of the oldest cities in the state. San Agustin Roman Catholic Church, one of the most prominent buildings in the district, was established in 1778. As you walk into the San Agustin Cathedral you are filled with an agglomeration of sights, sounds, scents, tastes, and tactile stimuli. A cross and a priest are not the only things a person can find at a church, especially not at the San Agustin Church.
In general, folk music was viewed as a window into the cultural life of these groups. Folk songs communicated the hopes, sorrows and convictions of ordinary people's everyday lives. Increasingly, music made by other groups of Americans such as Native Americans, Mexican-Americans, and Cajuns came under the umbrella of "folk music." The term "roots music" is now used to refer to this broad range of musical genres, which include blues, gospel, traditional country, zydeco, tejano, and Native American pow-wow. Over the years, “roots music” has been globalized all over America and the world and has turned into a multi-billion dollar industry.
