Promises and Compromises: A Historical Inquiry for Middle School Students on Swedish Immigration
Get PDFThis curriculum unit was designed using the C3 Framework, a model developed by the National Council for the Social Studies. The inquiry was written for students in the middle grades to learn more about the history of Swedish immigration to the Midwest region of the United States. It engages students with primary historical sources such as letters, images, government documents, poetry, and advertisements to explore this topic
A Search for Enlightenment in Mozart\u27s Die Zauberflöte
No full textThe Enlightenment was a time of philosophy, critical thinking, and brotherhood. Society at the time felt it was possible to find true meaning and connections with the world around them. Ideas were spread through newspapers, pamphlets, and social gatherings such as lodges. This spread of ideas reached Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and affected his opera, Die Zauberflöte. Themes of the Enlightenment are found in the characterizations of Tamino, Papageno, Pamina, the Queen, and Sarastro. This essay describes characterizations and analyzes how themes of Enlightenment appear in the opera
Augustana Seniors Fall 1885: Anders Johan Rydén
No full textAnders Johan Rydén was a senior at Augustana College, Rock Island, Illinois, in the fall of 1885. His name appears in the college catalog of 1885 – 1886, along with his birthplace, the year of his birth, and a few other facts. From this start, we researched the genealogy and family history of Anders Johan Rydén. This paper contains a short biography of Anders Johan Rydén, a report on his ancestors, a report on his descendants, and some open questions for further research

Get PDFNon-native Coccinellid beetles and land use abundance patterns in the Quad Cities region
Get PDFHarmonia axyridis was introduced in 1916. This species of coccinellid beetle is considered a desirable species for agriculture practices because of its ability to control pests. There is increasing evidence that H. axyridis may be outcompeting native species which could be contributing to the decline of some species that are disappearing from the landscape. Harmonia axyridis has a large migration range of 2 Km enabling the species to affect a large area of land. Invasive species often increase in abundance in urban landscapes which may be the case with H. axyridis. During the summer of 2021 we investigated H. axyridis in relation to land use surrounding the Quad City region (Scott county Iowa and Rock Island county Illinois). Surveys were conducted by sweep net, visual search, and yellow sticky traps at thirty-five different sites in seven land use categories: agriculture, industrial/commercial, forest, gardens, mowed grass areas, native prairie, and unmowed grass areas. Two especially-invasive on-native species (Harmonia axyridis & C. septempunctata) comprised 59% of all lady beetles collected. C. septempunctata was most abundant at the agriculture and unmowed grass sites. In contrast, H. axyridis was most abundant at the industrial/commercial sites. Although the amount of impervious surface within 500m and 1000m of the sites showed no relationship with the abundance of either species (regression, p-values of 0.14 & 0.24 for H. axyridis & 0.25 & 0.31 for C. septempunctata respectively), forest cover showed a strong negative association with the abundance of both species (regression, p-values of 0.04 & 0.02 for H. axyridis & 0.05 & 0.03 for C. septempunctata respectively). Most of the agriculture and prairie sites were highly urbanized. This pattern may help explain why we did not observe the positive relationship between impervious surfaces and invasive abundance found in other studies
Building Speech Pattern 1: Picture Stimuli

Building Speech & Quantifying Complexity is a dual approach to treating and evaluating articulatory complexity in child speech. It has two components: Building Speech and Quantifying Complexity. These two components can be used independently or together. When used together, the speech-language pathologist has a method for selecting goals and targets of varying levels of articulatory difficulty, plus a means for measuring changes in a child’s words, targeted and produced, at one point in time or over time.
The Building Speech & Quantifying Complexity materials include a manual, picture cards for each of the eight speech patterns, and worksheets for the Index of Phonetic Complexity. The manual provides speech-language pathologists with foundational information, so that they can individualize their assessments and interventions to meet the needs of the children on their caseloads with challenging speech sound disorders. It is not intended to be a lock-step program, but rather, an approach to be used creatively and flexibly by speech-language pathologists to address the needs of the individual children on their caseloads. Building Speech & Quantifying Complexity is designed to assess and treat speakers of American English, although the components can be adapted to fit the phonetics and phonology of other languages
