Extractions: The purpose of this book is to assist teachers in bringing the history of the Lower Rio Grande region into the classroom. The book should be viewed as a guide for lessons and activities for students in social studies and language arts classrooms. Teachers should begin by familiarizing themselves with the second edition of A Shared Experience (ASE). Part II of ASE, " Historical Survey" by Jerry D. Thompson , serves as the cornerstone of this resource book and should be read in its entirety. Teachers also should become familiar with Parts III IV , and V of A Shared Experience . The historical markers, sites, and buildings presented in these sections tie historic events and craftmanship traditions to specific places in the Lower Rio Grande. By referencing these sites, both in their own and in surrounding communities, teachers can portray history as a real and compelling subject for students. Part VI of ASE offers a series of historical maps which document both change and continuity in the Lower Rio Grande region over two and a half centuries. Numerous suggestions are given for the use of these maps as evidence that our modern highway system parallels trails created long before the age of Spanish explorers. Please remember that A Shared Experienc e is a teacher's information and planning tool, not a textbook for middle school or elementary students. The estimated reading level of ASE is 9th grade. It could serve as a supplementary reader for high school students.

FONR: The Napa Watershed Historical Ecology Project How has the landscape changed, and what can it teach us? SFEI's regional program startedin 1993 and has produced the historical maps of baylands, featured in http://www.friendsofthenapariver.org/projects/ecology.htm
Extractions: A collaborative effort to learn the history of the local landscape What did the Valley look like in the year 1800? Where were the first vineyards? Which creeks had salmon? Where were the best fishing holes? How has the landscape changed, and what can it teach us? Local groups are initiating a Historical Ecology Project on the Napa River Watershed. A Historical Ecology Project is an intensive, broadly-based effort to recover, organize, and interpret diverse information about the early local landscape and how it has changed. Through such a project, local knowledge about the land is recovered and preserved for future generations. Since conditions have changed so rapidly during the past two centuries, historical research is necessary to explain current conditions of local streams, forests, wetlands, and other habitats, and their ability to support people and wildlife. Despite the dramatic changes, it is generally possible to learn the original details of the native landscape, such as which creeks had salmon, how wide the river corridor was, which types of vegetation dominated where, and other important information about the natural functions of the landscape. The Project can help the community define and understand the existing environmental challenges and suggest how they might be successfully resolved in the future. The San Francisco Estuary Institute , an independent, non-profit science organization, developed the award-winning Historical Ecology Program to support regional and local environmental planning efforts. SFEI's regional program started in 1993 and has produced the historical maps of baylands, featured in the Bay Area EcoAtlas.
