That's
Life sung by Frank Sinatra
(lyrics007.com)
"That's life, that's what all the people say.
You're riding high in April,
Shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune,
When I'm back on top, back on top in June...
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,
A poet, a pawn and a king."

Map shows toll on world's oceans
"Only about 4% of the world's oceans remain undamaged by human
activity, according to the first detailed global map of human impacts
on the seas...
A study in Science journal says climate change, fishing, pollution and

human factors have exacted a heavy toll on almost half of the marine
waters.

threats as ice sheets melt, it warns."

Buffalo Bill
"In 1886, Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show played to over one million
people
in New York city. It was one of the most elaborate shows on earth: there
were cowboys and Indians, sharp shooters including the famed Annie Oakley,
hundreds of horses, buffalo, elk and donkeys, and more than two hundred
cast members, all moving about in a sweeping western landscape of mountains
and plains. Soon after the show's stunning success in New York, it would
go
on to dazzle crowds in London, Paris, Rome and Barcelona, cementing
the
legend of the Wild West in the minds of people around the globe. Behind
the extravaganza was one man - a meager plainsman turned international
celebrity and frontier hero, whose meteoric rise to fame was made possible
only by his genius, and his hucksterism. His name was William Cody,
better known to the world as Buffalo Bill."
(PBS)

Buffalo Bill
(1846-1917)

Kit Carson
"To some, he was one of America's greatest heroes: a brave and
loyal guide
who laid out a path for the westward-moving nation, an Indian tracker
who
could follow any trail, and a fearless warrior featured in dozens of
best-selling novels. But to others, Christopher "Kit" Carson was a villain
who waged a merciless crusade against Native Americans. In the end,
his contradictions
would define his legacy - and tell the true story of how the West was
won."
(PBS)

Kit Carson
(1809-1868)
He "was an American frontiersman."

On my shoulders
- sung by Thedo (YouTube)

"Why would I carry such a weight on my shoulders?...
Why would you try to make me friends with them soldiers...
And you should know that in my heart you fill every corner...
Why would I have to quit if time makes me older...
How could I tell them that I'll never let go..."

Call
to scrap 'anti-teen' device
"A high-pitched device used to disperse teenagers is being challenged
by
campaigners, who say it is not a fair way to treat young people. There
are
estimated to be 3,500 of the devices, known as the mosquito, in use
across
the country. Their sound causes discomfort to young ears - but their
frequency is
above the normal hearing range of people over 25. The Children's Commissioner
for England says they should be scrapped as they infringe the rights
of young people."

THE
HIGHWAY CODE - a song
"A marching body on the road should keep on the left-hand
side
It should have look-outs at suitable distances at the front and
rear
And at night they should carry lights...
When you have stepped off the kerb onto a Zebra Crossing
Which must have black and white stripes...
But allow approaching vehicles ample time to give way...
Do not get on or off a bus or tram while it is moving..."

Let's
go to England!
A WebQuest for 5th Grade (Social Studies)
"Have you ever wanted to take a trip to England? American families
go to England every year, but where do they find out about what there
is to do in that country? You are a travel agent. A family of four comes
to you with intentions of going on a two-week summer vacation to
England. As the travel agent, you have to compile information for the
family as to what there is to do in England, where to stay, and how
to travel. You have to plan activities for each member of the family,
so get ready to research!"
