We're gradually researching the background of the names of the days of the week.
The name comes from Middle English Twisday, from Old English Tiwes dæg, named after the Nordic god Tyr, who was the equivalent of the Roman war god Mars, says wikipedia.
Thus we see a similarity between Tues and Thurs, Thor's Day.
And a contrast with Friday, yes?

Martin Luther and Henry VIII: leaders of the Protestant reformation
Is your family associated with a Protestant denomination? Most likely, yes. In North La the average person is Protestant in background.
Protestant is a category of Christian denominations based on the word "protest."
Martin Luther was a German monk, priest, professor, theologian, and church reformer. His teachings inspired the Reformation, and influenced the doctrines and culture of the Lutheran and Protestant traditions, and the course of Western civilization. His protest was against several forms of corruption in the Catholic church.
Henry VIII, the English king who disagreed with the Catholic Church over the issue of divorce, was also a Protestant. Henry established the Church of England, a Christian church like the Catholic church except in the policy on divorce.
Today the principal Protestant groups include:
Methodist
Baptist
Church of God
Lutheran (Martin Luther-based)
Episcopalian
Presbyterian

Independent work: visit Meadows Museum, Centenary College and write about what you learn
Meadows Museum currently has an exhibit of Katrina-related photos and art of New Orleans. It makes a great resource center for geo class.
Go see it, explore the museum and write about it for independent credit.
While you're there, visit the Centenary campus. It is an attractive area and may be part of your future.
* Haynes Exercise center
* The shell, or Greek theater
* Student center
* Crumbly Gardens

Minneapolis to New Orleans: memorize the map of 10 Mississippi valley states for a quiz Thursday
Last week's test was on reading comprehension and composition. This week the quiz will call upon memorization. Students will pracice this map each day in class. It's worth 20 pts.
* Sketch - by hand - a map of the 10 states that border the Miss R.
* Add the names of 5 major cities (Minneapolis, St Louis, memphis, BR and NO).
* You will get a point for each state (spelling counts) and each city. You will get 5 pts for sketching the states' borders correctly.
In this class we will use the metropolitan population in our demographic notes on cities. In the RMQRWA, the metropolitan number is the one in parentheses.
The metro population of Baton Rouge almost dobled after Katrina, from about 400,000 to 700,000 (correcting my class notes).
Post-Katrina New Orleans has lost about half its population. The city itself was about 400,000, pre-storm. It is perhaps 200,000 today, says wikipedia.org. The Metro area has rebounded to some 1.2 M, down from 1.4 M pre-storm, says the Census Bureau.
Which is the city with the most people on the Miss R?

Parents must sign first test papers and return them to Mr. Trudeau
Parents are required to sign and send back to me the first test. This evaluation represents a beginning point in a progression of skill development.
The first test was diagnostic and focused mainly on -
* reading comprehension
* possession and use of of the class notes (an open notes test)
* careful reading
The essay spotlighted -
* reading comprehension
* logic and detail in composition
* grammar and spelling
From these relatively brief tests we can see the challenge ahead. They show each student - and parents - the areas that call for development as well as strengths.
Independent work is an alternate way to build points and show intellectual growth. Independent paper topics will be given on this site each week. They are comaprison essays, each a bit unexpected in its juxtaposition of topics.

Symbols for quick feedback on geography class essays
Trudeau's system for marking your essays involves the following shorthand items:
Star: excellent; highest praise.
Check: quite good; competent and point-earning material. Large check, more credit. Small check, less credit.
Wavy line: material not at an acceptable level; look for errors in either grammar and construction or in accuracy of information.
Circle: spelling, agreement or punctuation error.
Size of the mark generally denotes greater or lesser praise or caution.
If the mark is not sufficiently clear to you after reading over the passage, please see me. When possible I will respond during class. Sometimes it will have to be after class. Before and after school are also good times to ask questions of me.

An important book, if a quick read: Fahrenheit 451
ray Bradbury's sci-fi novel fahrenheit 451 remains one of the most important books of the era. Please plan to read it.
Norse goddess Freya gives us freyday or fridae or frige doeg
From the Old English, Frige Doeg, and from the Old High German, Fria Tag,we see the roots of Friday.
Do we live in a male-centric society? Does the fact that the median male income in Spt is $31,000 and the female median income is $21,000 offer evidence?
Despite the feminist movement I contend that US society remains old-fashioned and male-dominant.
That's why you rarely celebrate or even hear about the Norse (north) goddess of fertility and love, Freya (Fria).

Green Day lyrics on the flood and loss of New Orleans
"The Saints Are Coming"
[The Skids Cover]
There is a house in New Orleans, they call the Rising Sun
It's been the ruin of many a poor boy, and God, I know I'm one.
I cried to my daddy on the telephone,
how long now?
Until the clouds unroll and you come home,
the line went.
But the shadows still remain since your descent,
your descent.
I cried to my daddy on the telephone,
how long now?
Until the clouds unroll and you come home,
the line went.
But the shadows still remain since your descent,
your descent.
The saints are coming, the saints are coming.
I say no matter how I try, I realise there's no reply.
The saints are coming, the saints are coming.
I say no matter how I try, I realise there's no reply.
A drowning sorrow floods the deepest grief,
how long now?
Until the weather change condemns belief,
how long now?
When the night watchman lets in the thief
Whats wrong now?
The saints are coming, the saints are coming
I say no matter how I try, I realise there's no reply.
The saints are coming, the saints are coming
I say no matter how I try, I realise there's no reply.
I say no matter how I try, I realise there's no reply.
I say no matter how I try, I realise there's no reply.
Thanks to surferchick70, aka Aouicha, for the lyrics.

Memorex Mini Flash Drive at Office Depot for $7, says a student
A 256 mb Memorex flash drive was purchased by one of my students at Office Depot for $7. Great deal.
Test session guidelines for geo class
Test taking is not easy for some first-years because of their general impatience with academic work. To be successful I have observed that students must ...
* Slow down and read questions carefully.
* Go back and check answers.
* When there are several answers that seem to be correct, be able to choose the one that is more directly true.
Classroom guidelines ...
* On open-notes tests, you may use a print-out from the web site, your in-class notes, your atlas, textbook and a dictionary.
* No communication between students during the test.
- no whispering, even if on a non-cheating sort of question.
- no passing of notes or other materials.
* raise your hand when you have a question of any sort. It will be answered by your teacher - in a whisper.
Penalty for ignoring guidelines: phone call to parent; point penalty.
On tests ...
* legibility.
* grammar and spelling.
* use examples in writing essays.

Parents are invited to Robert Trudeau's brown bag lunches at CMHS
In order to better serve parents' needs I have several open lunch meetings in the fall for parents who'd like to know more about the geography class, CMHS, college and their children.
The lunch get togethers are on Friday, from 12 to 1 pm. Although an advance email (trudeau@earthlink.net) or call (861-6809 h, 221-2501, w) would be helpful, if you cannot, just drop in.
That's upstairs in the new wing, E 205. Noon to 1 is my planning period and a great time to talk about your child's future.
We'll have one next Fri, too.

Clubs at Magnet: why we have a Leadbelly Society
Leadbelly Society is one of many clubs that met during activity period Wed, Aug 22.
At Magnet I sponsored the Writer's Club for years and years. Then we changed its name to Leadbelly Society and decided to integrate music and writing (and other media).
Today at the first 07-08 meeting I played and sang Leadbelly tunes like "Goodnight, Irene," "Midnight Special" and "Rock Island Line." Huddie Ledbetter, (1888 - 1949) was made famous by the tunes he gave to the world. Also performing were students Brett Havener, Andrew Wood and Brian Day.
More facts about Ledbetter, aka the "father of American Folk music," and "King of the 12-string guitar:"
* spent years in prison for murder and felonious assault.
* "sang his way out of prison" in Tx by a song he wrote for the governor.
* was discovered by folklorist (trained to collect and publish folk songs, art, tales, dance,m etc) Alan Lomax, of the U of Texas and the Library of Congress (Wash, DC).
* Lomax recorded Lead at Angola State Prison.
* Lomax presented the singer to the media in NYC in 1935. Leadbelly became known through records and newsreels.
* Leadbelly lived in NYC and performed in coffeehouses, colleges and schools and at political rallies.
* Buried at Shiloh Baptist Church near Mooringsport. People from all over the world stop at his gravesite to pay respects.

Linkin Park references the flood on their new album
Sarah Nichols pointed out to me that one of the songs on the new Linkin Park album is pointedly about a flood like Katrina in addition to a personal relationship. It's a very listenable tune and now I have a copy of it. I asked her to send me the lyrics:
Linkin Park- The Little Things Give You Away
water grey
through the windows
up the stairs
chilling rain
like an ocean
everywhere
don't want to reach for me do you
i mean nothing to you
the little things give you away
and now there will be no mistaking
the levees are breaking
all you've ever wanted
was someone to truly look up to you
and six feet / under water
i do
hope decays
generations disappear
washed away
as a nation simply stares
dont want to reach for me do you
i mean nothing to you
the little things give you away
and now there will be no mistaking

Aug 31 geo classes will begin a week-long research project in the library and need a flash drive
The Middle East / Southwest Asia unit will unfold with studies of nations in the library. Today as I planned the unit with the librarians they reminded me that students should be highly encouraged to use flash drives to save their work each day.
Floppy disks and CD's have proven frustrating, reminded Mrs. Kay Gammill and Mrs. Lorna White.
Neither the size nor brand of the flash drive matter. Old ones work as well as new ones, in my experience. One thing I'd like to request: keep the lanyard attached to the tiny device. It helps prevent accidental loss.
Questions? Ask in class or look it up. Wikipedia has an effective explanation of how the flash drive works.
