ALL DONE! Enjoy! :)

==Learning Activity 3-D-2: Local Documents, Data, and Cartoons==

[] (One of a pair of women's leather moccasins (Native American, Delaware), first half of 19th century. Students can analyze the image to determine the natural resources available to those within the community which could be used to make clothing) Great source-but not a Data, Documents, Cartoon source--keep this safely somewhere to consider using for your final project.

[] (Students can use SEA tactics to determine the importance of the church and gospel in local Moravian life) SHEET MUSIC USE IN WEEK 5

http://bdhp.moravian.edu/personal_papers/journals/unger/mariarosina.html (Journal of Maria Rosina Unger--personal accounts from a journal of a local woman who was active in the Moravian church)

[] (Memoirs from Burnside, who was the first landowner from the Moravian church)

[] (excerpts from the community diary outlining some of the events of the community at the time.)

Learning Activity 4-D-1: Local Photos and Posters
[] (multiple posters depicting modern advertisements of Bethlehem’s Musikfest. Most of the images incorporate the Moravian star, which reflects Bethlehem’s roots as a Moravian established town. )

[] (The poster featured is a map of the South Side of Bethlehem as it was in 1877. The map could be used to compare and contrast the landscape of the city today versus how it was in 1877.)

[] (Poster depicting Moravian women and their roles in the Moravian church. Students could use this information to further understand how women’s roles in the church differed from the mens.)

[] (Photograph of the Bethlehem Waterworks, which served as the community’s municipal water source. Built in 1754, it was the first pumping system in the United States. Using this image, students can compare and contrast the architectural structure of the pumping system to that of a residential home historic of Bethlehem, PA. )

[] (Photograph of the Single Bretheren House located in Bethlehem, PA. Students can use this photograph to draw conclusions about the natural resources available to the Moravians and the first settlers of Bethlehem. For example, “Study the photograph shown. Based upon the architecture of the structure, what natural resources were readily available to them at the time?”) ==Learning Activity 5-D-1: Local Audio and Music==

[] (Moravian hymnal, written in traditional German. As a challenge, I would like students to choose one stanza of the hymnal, and translate a stanza using an online translator.)

[] (last picture) The image is of a Moravian Hymnal cover. Students will use the image to compare and contrast a Moravian Hymnal with another book of religious songs of their choice.)

[] (copy of “Sing Hallelujah, Praise the Lord,” composed by Bishop John Christian Bechler (1784-1857), which is a favorite Moravian hymn. Using the image, students compare and contrast the elements of a handwritten composition to that of a mass manufactured composition. Students will also use this to draw conclusions about the importance of the church in the Moravians of Bethlehem, PA )

[] (audio recording of Haydn’s The Creation, which was performed in the United States for the first time at Sanctuary of Central Moravian Church in 1811. Students will compose their own reflection after listening to the music. Students will be encouraged to respond questions like: How did this music make you feel? What made it different/same compared to other music you have heard? When do you suppose this type of music was used in the Moravian society? )

[] (Audio recording entitled “Variations on a Moravian Folk Song.” After listening to the audio and viewing the lyrics in print, students will work in groups write their own variation of a Moravian Folk song.) ==Learning Activity 6-D-1: Local Video and Maps==

[|Germans in Pennsylvania] (documentary on the history of Germans in Pennsylvania. The video addresses German immigration to Pennsylvania and the spread of the German population within the Commonwealth. The documentary also discusses the religious groups among the immigrants, including the Moravians. For this activity, students would view the video clip (about 4 minutes long) and would create a 3-2-1 based on their viewing. With the 3-2-1, students will be asked to record "3 Interesting Facts," "2 Quotes" from the video, and "1 Question" they still have after viewing the segment.

[|Images of Bethlehem, PA video] (Video montage of different photographed images from Bethlehem, PA. This could be used to ask students to compare and contrast the mixture of modern versus colonial structures in Bethlehem. Students would then be asked to decide which architectural style they prefer and explain why.)

[|Commercial for the Hotel Bethlehem] (30 second video clip of a commercial advertising the Historic Hotel Bethlehem. After viewing the commercial, students will research the Historic Hotel Bethlehem to discover 5 facts about the hotel and its history within Bethelehem, PA. As an extension or alternate activity, students can create their own commercial advertising one of the local sites of their community.)

[|Morning Star--Moravian Hymn] (Video clip of a teacher teaching her class to sing the traditional Moravian Hymn, "Morning Star." Students would listen to the audio, then would be asked to research the history of the hymn and also find a written copy of the hymn.)

[|Map of Moravian Settlement] (Map of Moravian settlement circa 1758. Students will study the map provide it and compare it to a modern map of Bethlehem. Students will be encouraged to ponder the following questions: How has Bethlehem changed? How has it stayed the same? Do you notice any features of this map that are still in existence today? Are there any names on the map that you recognize?)

[|Panoramic Map of Bethlehem 1883] (Students will use this map to describe how Bethlehem looked long ago. Students can compare what they see within this map to how Bethlehem looks today. Additionally, students will be encouraged to discuss how early settlers used the natural resources featured on the map to establish their community.)
