Title: Web Resource: 5,000 Historic Photographs of China
Body: From 1908 to 1932, Sidney Gamble (1890-1968) visited China four times, traveling throughout the country to collect data for social-economic surveys and to photograph urban and rural life, public events, architecture, religious statuary, and the countryside. A sociologist, renowned China scholar, and avid amateur photographer, Gamble used some of the pictures to illustrate his monographs. The Sidney D. Gamble Photographs digital collection marks the first comprehensive public presentation of this large body of work that includes photographs of Korea, Japan, Hawaii, San Francisco, and Russia. The site currently features photographs dated between 1917 and 1932; the 1908 photographs will be digitized and uploaded as part of future additions to the site.

Title: Sommerferien Podcast
Body: For those teachers who are working with stories about what everybody did over the summer, there is a wonderful three minute podcast created by the 2. Klasse of the Grundschule Wechloy in Niedersachsen where students read stories that they wrote (some true, some not) about their summers. The very basic nature of the stories make them accessible, and the young voices make them quite engaging. http://podcast.schul-internetradio.de/index.php?id=677 Black, N.

Title: Article about Latin: A Dead Language That’s Very Much Alive
Body: From http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/07/nyregion/07latin.html?_r=1&oref=slogin A Dead Language That’s Very Much Alive By WINNIE HU October 6, 2008 The Latin class at Isaac E. Young Middle School here was reading a story the other day with a familiar ring: Boy annoys girl, girl scolds boy. Only in this version, the characters were named Sextus and Cornelia, and they argued in Latin. Enrollment in Latin classes here in this Westchester County suburb has increased by nearly one-third since 2006, to 187 of the district’s 10,500 students, and the two middle schools in town are starting an ancient-cultures club in which students will explore the lives of Romans, Greeks and others. The resurgence of a language once rejected as outdated and irrelevant is reflected across the country as Latin is embraced by a new generation of students who seek to increase SAT scores or stand out from their friends, or simply harbor a fascination for the ancient language after reading Harry Potter’s Latin-based chanting spells. Read the entire article at http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/07/nyregion/07latin.html?_r=1&oref=slogin .

Body: From http://www.boston.com/news/education/k_12/articles/2008/09/21/college_board_may_end_italian_ap_test/?rss_id=Boston.com+--+Education+news College Board may end Italian AP test Says donations, exam-takers must increase By Larry Gordon September 21, 2008 LOS ANGELES - Italian-American groups in California and across the nation have a few words for the College Board: "Salviamo il nostro esame!" The "save our exam" battle cry is at the core of a campaign to rescue the Advanced Placement test in Italian Language and Culture. The College Board launched the exam with fanfare just three years ago, but now is threatening to kill it unless donations are found to support it and the number of test takers increases. "It's a formidable task we are facing. We realize that. But we also feel there is nothing more important to the Italian-American community than the preservation of Italian language education, and the AP is central to that," said Margaret Cuomo, daughter of former New York governor Mario Cuomo and a leader in the national effort to save the test.
