<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> <span style="font-size: large;"> About six weeks ago I began working on ideas for a winter holiday Informational Text Pack. I settled on “5 Things You Didn’t Know about Christmas Songs.” </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Searching the web looking for unusual facts that would grab the attention of 6th, 7th, and 8th graders, I began running across surprising tidbits about tunes I listened to when I was a teen and the songs were brand new. (Ah! Nostalgia, how I love thee!) At other times, it was about titles that have been around for years, but there was always something jaw-dropping popping up on my screen. (Great invention, the Internet!)<br /><br /> In short, I had a ball with this one! I accumulated so many links and the-kids-will-like-this snippets, I spent almost as much time chiseling down the resources (and identifying the bad information) as I did in the writing. What struck me the most is how much history from the 40s, 50s, and 60s is floating around in the 5 tunes I chose. As a bonus, Wikimedia Commons had public domain photos of at least one person mentioned in every article. The finished product turned out to be a series of history lessons disguised as a fun reading activity, but we can keep the kids in the dark about that if we want!<br /><br /> My Christmas gift to you—my TpT followers and blog visitors—is a free copy of my favorite one from the bunch. This should fit nicely in your Before-the-Holidays Survival Kit.</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No, the Pilgrims did not have bad table
manners.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They simply used what they
had—knives for carving and cutting and spoons for mushy foods.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Forks, as we know them, hadn’t been invented.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A type of
two-tined instrument was available in England in 1621, but mostly it was used
as a companion for a carving knife. The English saw no reason to use it for
eating. “Why should a person need a fork,” they asked, “when God has given him
hands?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Besides, their two prongs
couldn’t hold on to food like fingers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Even worse, using a fork was just plain sissy!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
Pilgrims and the English weren’t the only fork haters. The French were also
slow to accept them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In their opinion,
using forks for anything besides carving had a snobby, uppity air about
it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With such a reputation, it was predictable that forks would slowly
became a status symbol for rich people, who used them for sticky foods or
dishes that might stain their fingers. Still, food continued to slip through
the two tines. The development of a French model with four curved tines solved
the spillage problem in the late 1600s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>People, rich and common, liked the new design.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Finally in the early 1800s, forks were widely
accepted and used in Europe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By the time
they migrated to America, they were 200 years too late for the first Thanksgiving
feast.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A clever mix of juvenile humor (spitballs, wedgies, and sneakers dangling from power lines), boy-girl relationships, and the most serious inside look at bullying and cliques you’ll find anywhere, <b>Schooled</b> tells the story of Capricorn Anderson, a brilliant but totally naïve youngster suddenly ripped from the tranquility of his grandmother’s left-over hippie commune and deposited in a foster home with a super spoiled foster sister.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then he takes the bus to the raucous world of C Average Middle School.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Eighth-grader Zach Powers, chief bully and uncontested leader of the school’s in crowd, quickly identifies long-haired Cap as a foolproof victim.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What fun it’s going to be watching the freakazoid fall apart and disintegrate under the pressure of the cool jokes and pranks he has planned.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As if the C Average students and their shenanigans weren’t enough to make the title middle-school perfect, the author tells the story in first person through the eyes of eight different characters!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cap Anderson’s first chapter narrative is replaced by a different character’s point of view in the second chapter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Still a third character picks up the action in the next. This technique is so unusual, it took a while for me to get used to it, but I eventually realized that eight different points of view is the ideal way to tell this story.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So many dramas are taking place on so many different levels, a single person’s perspective would have told a really drab tale.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Two weeks ago on Monday, it occurred to me that I needed to take the Taurus wagon to the car wash to have the pollen and bird biodegradables removed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the meantime, I had been fighting for a week with one of the informational text articles I am writing to include in my upcoming teaching pack for <b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Schooled</i></b> by Gordon Korman.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Creating a middle-school-student appropriate article about hippies is not an easy task.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was driving me nuts!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, on Thursday the hippies and I are at it again, duking it out on a computer screen, making a mockery of peace and love. I decide to take a break and go get the car washed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m driving the shortcut through the neighborhood backstreets, and I’m about a third of the way there when the hippies push their way to the front of my brain again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This time, I see clearly how to rewrite a problem paragraph and un-stick the project.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I go over it several times so I can remember as many details as possible when I get back home.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I finally get the hippies to leave, I look up and I’m shocked.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What am I doing on this street?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is not the way I always leave the neighborhood.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And, furthermore, where am I going?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dern hippies!</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the car wash office there are no magazines for girls—only guy stuff—so I do some more exploring into hippie history on my iPhone and get myself locked into some places I don’t know how to navigate my way out of.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After I have turned the phone off and on a dozen times, the lady calls me to pay my bill and go get my car.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I step in, the driver’s seat, of course, is pushed back into the cargo bay and I sit there with my legs sticking over the edge like Edith Ann on the rocking chair.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I manage to get the key into the ignition and give it a click.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The radio blares out, playing music from the wrong station.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I tap the AM/FM button and my station is back on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I find the switch that moves my seat forward to the spot where I can reach the gas pedal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now the steering wheel is sitting in my lap and my legs are jammed into one position.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Find that lever and lift the steering wheel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The radio plays on.</span></div>
