Social Studies The great architects of American public education, such as Thomas Jefferson, Horace Mann, and John Dewey, considered a strong literacy essential to the preservation of democracy. Each believed that every student must be well versed in the nation's history, the principles which undergird citizenship, and the institutions which define our government. Understandings of commerce and geography were critical to their thinking as well. In essence, Jefferson, Mann, and Dewey viewed the study of social studies as critical to the mission of public schools. Indeed, they would applaud the inclusion of a "responsible and involved citizen" in the Guiding Principles, as well as social studies as one of eight content areas in the Learning Results A strong social studies education depends upon a clear understanding of its interrelated disciplines. Without a knowledge of the geography and economics of earlier times, history offers only lists of people, events, and dates. Without a knowledge of history, the institutions of American government and the dynamics of today's global economy are difficult to understand. Important contemporary issues such as health care, education, crime, the environment, and foreign policy are all multidisciplinary in nature. Understanding these issues and developing responses to them requires an integrated social studies education. In such a social studies program, students are actively engaged in inquiry, research, debate, and in-depth learning. Students can further enhance their knowledge of the world around them by using local communities as extended classrooms; they can learn to build on that knowledge and on their knowledge of history to construct insights into the future. A broad understanding of the perspectives central to social studies enables students to develop, practice, and apply the knowledge and experiences required to be contributing participants in a democratic society.

Resources Resources for the study of Franco America at The University of Maine, Orono The Raymond H. Fogler Library is the central library at the University of Maine. It is the largest research library in Maine, with collections and services supporting the faculty, students, and staff of the University as well as residents of the State of Maine. It houses a large collection of primary and secondary sources on Franco America. This bibliography lists key titles held by Fogler. It is by no means complete but is provided only as a helpful beginning guide. Further research can be done through URSUS, Fogler Library's on-line catalogue. URSUS relies upon the Library of Congress Subject Headings, which unfortunately does not provide one search term that encompasses all of Franco America. When searching URSUS, be sure to think creatively! Here are some suggestions: Franco America(ns), Acadia(ns), Cajun, French Canadians, French American, Quebec emigration, or towns with large Franco American populations (e.g. Lowell, Lewiston, Worcester). The Special Collections Department in Fogler Library also has many primary documents. It is a repository for Maine related material. Virtually all available printed bibliographical, historical, and descriptive works on the state as well as literary titles by Maine authors are housed in this department. Books, pamphlets, state documents, and other forms of printed material provide extensive coverage of Maine's cities, towns, counties, and her people and institutions. Places to begin looking for Franco American topics in Special Collections: specific town histories (e.g. Biddeford, Old Town), genealogies, Normand Dubé's papers, Charles Stewart Doty's papers

News and Events NSF Grant Awarded to Dr. Jane Smith When North American French scholar Jane Smith joined the University of Maine faculty in 1994, she was surprised to find that Maine's Franco-Americans had no corpus of their language - no body of recordings preserving the spoken word - other than a few taped interviewed in the Maine Folklife Center archives. That will change this fall when the first sociolinguistic study of Franco-American French begins in the state, led by Smith, a UMaine assistant professor of French, and Cynthia Fox, associate professor of French Studies at the University at Albany. The three-year collaborative study is funded by a $301,130 grant from the National Science Foundation. Franco-Americans in New England and New York State represent the second largest concentration of French speakers in the United States, Smith and Fox noted in their grant proposal. Yet they remain the only significant group of North American French speakers whose language has not been the subject of systematic, representative sampling and research. In the sociolinguistic study, the researchers will be looking at "who uses the language - and how." In particular, they will investigate its linguistic structure and "the human dynamics behind the language" in an effort to understand what social or economic factors influence language maintenance or shift.

Teacher Page Introduction You are working at the Maine State Chamber of Commerce. Things have not been going very well lately. There have not been enough people moving into Maine! The Maine economy is strong and there are opportunities here but other New England states have been attracting new comers. The Chamber cannot figure out what the problem is. Recently the governor has offered your office an incentive. The next representative(that is what you are) that can convince a family to move to Maine will get a large bonus(that means a good grade). Process Here are the families that have recently called the office requesting information about moving to Maine. Your job is to decide on one of the families and create a brochure (description below) for the town that you would choose for them. Each family has different needs and wants different things in their new home. You must use the resources that the Chamber has given you to decide which town or towns would best fit their needs.
