Title: News Article: Immigrant Parents Struggle to Keep Their Children Bilingual
Body: From http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2007/07/22/immigrant_parents_struggle_to_keep_their_children_bilingual/?page=1 Immigrant parents struggle to keep their children bilingual By Maria Sacchetti, Globe Staff | July 22, 2007 Researchers say immigrant parents nationwide are confronting a difficult truth: Their children are losing their languages. According to research presented to Congress in May, even the children of immigrants prefer to speak English by the time they are adults. Rubén G. Rumbaut, a sociologist at the University of California at Irvine, and his team of researchers looked at 5,700 adults in their 20s and 30s in Southern California from different generations to see how long their language survived. A key finding centered on 1,900 American-born children of immigrants. The shift toward English among them was swift: While 87 percent grew up speaking another language at home, only 34 percent said they spoke it well by adulthood. And nearly 70 percent said they preferred to speak English.

Title: Ideas for Integrating Latin and Fine Arts
Body: Here are some ideas from Latinteach users for integrating fine arts and Latin: 1) teach the students about the style of a type of artist (a fun and easy one to do is Matisse...in fact, he even has a work of art called "Icarus") then I have them do their own portrayal of a myth in that style of artist. They are not graded on skill, but rather on how they are able to show that they understand the style. 2) I do a little PowerPoint on Greek vase painting and the different styles. Again -- I have them portray the myth on a piece of paper in whatever style of Greek vase painting that they want. It should reflect that style (so they cannot have Anime-type figures in the painting) 3) I have them act out plays of certain myths with advice from the drama dept. 4) I give them a lesson on Graeco-Roman architecture and how it exists in our world -- it is fun to show them pictures of modern buildings and show them what is "wrong" with that particular building (e.g. doric columns with bases or something). 5) I have not done this, but they can learn how to sculpt in a certain style of Graeco-Roman art with clay. I would give them a sculpture to see if they can figure out how to mold it to get the chiaroscuro and the different textures, etc. Enscoe, S. Re: [Latinteach] Ideas for Correlating Latin with Fine Arts? The Teaching of the Latin Language listserv (latinteach@nxport.com, 29 Jul 2007). --- Each week, two weeks if they are partial weeks because of breaks etc., I introduce a new piece of art based on Roman/Greek history, myth, or literature. I give the name of the work and the artist or school. I introduce this in class on Mondays. The sharper boys have learned that I usually put the picture and title on my class web page Sunday night, and look ahead of time. I can tell they are looking at the page since some of them come in already prepped, or with good questions. The students need to find out five more valid pieces of information about the work, the artist, the story, whatever. To hand in a printout from a web search does not count. If the student wants to take a picture of the piece off the web and then add more information, I accept it, with the proviso that I can question him personally about any item he lists. This has helped them get acquainted with the art teacher, the librarian and the art history books, as well as art sources on line. Young, N. Re: [Latinteach] Ideas for Correlating Latin with Fine Arts? The Teaching of the Latin Language listserv (latinteach@nxport.com, 30 Jul 2007). --- Dance = I let the students have the option of doing an interpretive dance of a myth. Mixed Media = I am a hot shot movie producer, and the students are broken up into groups and they have to "sell" a movie idea (of an assigned myth) to me. They make up a catchy title for the movie; they have to figure out who will act in it; they will make a storyboard with the plot; they will discuss the budget of the movie, and they will make a video trailer (and optional soundtrack) for the film. Etc. = they have to make a storybook (complete with illustrations; everything is finely polished and "published") of a myth. In language arts, they learn about how to make storybooks, so it is an excellent carry-over. Music = for review, they write their own songs about various topics (either grammatical or cultural) and they can perform it to the class. They can also make soundtracks to chapters. Enscoe, S.
