Title: Idea: Stargazing Night for Classics Students
Body: A Latinteach user describes this activity that she does with her students: This past fall, we staged our 5th annual Stargazing Night. We all (80 total) took a hayride out to a field on a student's farm and discovered the wonders of the night sky. Six representatives from the Charlotte Amateur Astronomy Club who were most willing to share their knowledge joined us with their high powered telescopes and laser pointers. My elementary students acted out the story of Cassiopeia and Andromeda (with flashlight spotlights!!) and then we found those constellations in the sky (along with the Seven Sisters, the craters of the moon (a lot named from Latin words), Venus and Jupiter, nebulae, etc.). The elementary students had made stargazers out of Pringles cans so they would be familiar with the shapes of the constellations and my middle and lower high school students had translated the story. Afterwards, we had a bonfire and everyone enjoyed hot chocolate with "stellar" treats such as Milky Ways, Starburst candy, and Moon Pies. Some students were creative and made a moon cake and meteorites out of Rice Krispie treats! Astronomy used to be part of the quadrivium and sadly today, students have no clue about the wonders of astronomy. Madden, S. [Latinteach] Latin, Constellations and Astronomy. The Teaching of the Latin Language listserv (latinteach@nxport.com, 3 Jan 2009). See next week’s InterCom for instructions on how to make stargazers out of Pringles cans!

The Febrero issue of People en español has a brief article on Latino support for Obama on p32 (including his Spanish-speaking half sister) and a full-page article on "Obamamania" and all the Obama related products you can buy, from dog bowls to skate boards (p17). And for music lovers, youtube has both Mariachi and Reggaeton music videos promoting the President-elect.
