Earp, Wyatt Berry Stapp
Earp, Wyatt Berry Stapp Earp, Wyatt Berry Stapp ûrp [key], 1848â€"1929, law officer, gambler, and gunfighter of the American West, b. Monmouth, Ill. After serving as police officer in Wichita (1874) and Dodge City (1876â€"77), Kans., he became an armed guard for Wells, Fargo Company in Tombstone, Ariz. There, with his brothers Virgil and Morgan and a friend, Doc Holliday, he was involved in the controversial gunfight at (actually just outside) the O.K. Corral (Oct. 26, 1881), in which several men were killed. Leaving Tombstone in 1882, Earp traveled widely, operating saloons in San Diego, Calif.; Nome, Alaska; and Tonopah, Nev., before settling in Los Angeles. Contrary to the legend he assiduously promoted in two authorized biographies and elsewhere, Earp was both lawman and lawbreaker, sometimes enforcing the law, sometimes engaging in such activities as gambling, horse-stealing, embezzling, and vigilante killing. See biographies by F. Waters (1960), C. Tefertiller (1997), A. Barra (1998), and A. C. I senberg (2013); studies by E. E. Ellsworth (1963 and 1964). The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, 6th ed.

The History of the English Language
The story of Englishâ€â€from its start in a jumble of West Germanic dialects to its role today as a global languageâ€â€is both fascinating and complex. This timeline offers a glimpse at some of the key events that helped to shape the English language over the past 1,500 years. To learn more about the ways that English evolved in Britain and then spread around the world, check out The History of English in 10 Minutes, an amusing video produced by the Open University. The Prehistory of English The ultimate origins of English lie in Indo-European, a family of languages consisting of most of the languages of Europe as well as those of Iran, the Indian subcontinent, and other parts of Asia. Because little is known about ancient Indo-European (which may have been spoken as long ago as 3,000 B.C.), well begin our survey in Britain in the first century A.D. 43â€â€The Romans invade Britain, beginning 400 years of control over much of the island.410â€â€The Goths (speakers of a now extinct East Germanic language) sack Rome. The first Germanic tribes arrive in Britain.Early 5th centuryâ€â€With the collapse of the empire, Romans withdraw from Britain. Britons are attacked by the Picts and by Scots from Ireland. Angles, Saxons, and other German settlers arrive in Britain to assist the Britons and claim territory.5th-6th centuriesâ€â€Germanic peoples (Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Frisians) speaking West Germanic dialects settle most of Britain. Celts retreat to distant areas of Britain: Ireland, Scotland, Wales. 500-1100: The Old English (or Anglo-Saxon) Period The conquest of the Celtic population in Britain by speakers of West Germanic dialects (primarily Angles, Saxons, and Jutes) eventually determined many of the essential characteristics of the English language. (The Celtic influence on English survives for the most part only in place namesâ€â€London, Dover, Avon, York.) Over time the dialects of the various invaders merged, giving rise to what we now call Old English. Late 6th centuryâ€â€Ethelbert, the King of Kent, is baptized. He is the first English king to convert to Christianity.7th centuryâ€â€Rise of the Saxon kingdom of Wessex; the Saxon kingdoms of Essex and Middlesex; the Angle kingdoms of Mercia, East Anglia, and Northumbria. St. Augustine and Irish missionaries convert Anglo-Saxons to Christianity, introducing new religious words borrowed from Latin and Greek. Latin speakers begin referring to the country as Anglia and later as Englaland.673â€â€Birth of the Venerable Bede, the monk who composed (in Latin) The Ecclesiastical History of the English People (c. 731), a key source of information about Anglo Saxon settlement.700â€â€Approximate date of the earliest manuscript records of Old English.Late 8th centuryâ€â€Scandinavians begin to settle in Britain and Ireland; Danes settle in parts of Ireland.Early 9th centuryâ€â€Egbert of Wessex incorporates Cornwall into his kingdom and is recognized as overlord of the seve n kingdoms of the Angles and Saxons (the Heptarchy): England begins to emerge.Mid 9th centuryâ€â€Danes raid England, occupy Northumbria, and establish a kingdom at York. Danish begins to influence English.Late 9th centuryâ€â€King Alfred of Wessex (Alfred the Great) leads the Anglo-Saxons to victory over the Vikings, translates Latin works into English and establishes the writing of prose in English. He uses the English language to foster a sense of national identity. England is divided into a kingdom ruled by the Anglo-Saxons (under Alfred) and another ruled by the Scandinavians.10th centuryâ€â€English and Danes mix fairly peacefully, and many Scandinavian (or Old Norse) loanwords enter the language, including such common words as sister, wish, skin, and die.1000â€â€Approximate date of the only surviving manuscript of the Old English epic poem Beowulf, composed by an anonymous poet between the 8th century and the early 11th century.Early 11th centuryâ€â€Danes att ack England, and the English king (Ethelred the Unready) escapes to Normandy. The Battle of Maldon becomes the subject of one of the few surviving poems in Old English. The Danish king (Canute) rules over England and encourages the growth of Anglo-Saxon culture and literature.Mid 11th centuryâ€â€Edward the Confessor, King of England who was raised in Normandy, names William, Duke of Normandy, as his heir.1066â€â€The Norman Invasion: King Harold is killed at the Battle of Hastings, and William of Normandy is crowned King of England. Over succeeding decades, Norman French becomes the language of the courts and of the upper classes; English remains the language of the majority. Latin is used in churches and schools. For the next century, English, for all practical purposes, is no longer a written language. 1100-1500: The Middle English Period The Middle English period saw the breakdown of the inflectional system of Old English and the expansion of vocabulary with many borrowings from French and Latin. 1150â€â€Approximate date of the earliest surviving texts in Middle English.1171â€â€Henry II declares himself overlord of Ireland, introducing Norman French and English to the country. About this time the University of Oxford is founded.1204â€â€King John loses control of the Duchy of Normandy and other French lands; England is now the only home of the Norman French/English.1209â€â€The University of Cambridge is formed by scholars from Oxford.1215â€â€King John signs the Magna Carta (Great Charter), a critical document in the long historical process leading to the rule of constitutional law in the English-speaking world.1258â€â€King Henry III is forced to accept the Provisions of Oxford, which establish a Privy Council to oversee the administration of the government. These documents, though annulled a few years later, are generally regarded as Englands first written constitution.Late 13th centuryâ€â€Under Edward I, royal authority is consolidated in England a nd Wales. English becomes the dominant language of all classes.Mid to late 14th centuryâ€â€The Hundred Years War between England and France leads to the loss of almost all of Englands French possessions. The Black Death kills roughly one-third of Englands population. Geoffrey Chaucer composes The Canterbury Tales in Middle English. English becomes the official language of the law courts and replaces Latin as the medium of instruction at most schools. John Wycliffes English translation of the Latin Bible is published. The Great Vowel Shift begins, marking the loss of the so-called pure vowel sounds (which are still found in many continental languages) and the loss of the phonetic pairings of most long and short vowel sounds.1362â€â€The Statute of Pleading makes English the official language in England. Parliament is opened with its first speech delivered in English.1399 At his coronation, King Henry IV becomes the first English monarch to deliver a speech in English.Late 15th centuryâ€â€William Caxton brings to Westminster (from the Rhineland) the first printing press and publishes Chaucers The Canterbury Tales. Literacy rates increase significantly, and printers begin to standardize English spelling. The monk Galfridus Grammaticus (also known as Geoffrey the Grammarian) publishes Thesaurus Linguae Romanae et Britannicae, the first English-to-Latin wordbook. 1500 to the Present: The Modern English Period Distinctions are commonly drawn between the Early Modern Period (1500-1800) and Late Modern English (1800 to the present). During the period of Modern English, British exploration, colonization, and overseas trade hastened the acquisition of loanwords from countless other languages and fostered the development of new varieties of English (World English), each with its own nuances of vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. Since the middle of the 20th century, the expansion of North American business and media around the world has led to the emergence of Global English as a lingua franca. Early 16th centuryâ€â€The first English settlements are made in North America. William Tyndales English translation of the Bible is published.

What Is Disciplinary Literacy Can Improve The Classroom...
What is disciplinary literacy in the history classroom? What are the specific literacy strategies/skills students need in the history classroom? What are the demands of the disciplinary literacy in the history classroom? What does the history teacher need to know to develop disciplinary literacy in her/his classroom? How to develop disciplinary literacy skills in the history classroom? Bain, R. B. (2012). Using disciplinary literacy to develop coherence in history teacher education: The clinical rounds project. The History Teacher, 45(4), 513 - 532. Bain (2012) defines disciplinary literacy in history as the necessary connections to improve the teachers capabilities to use reading and writing in history across different contexts and in a range of learners. Bain (2012), based on Mojes s findings, claims that there are four identified interconnected skills of funds of knowledge: semantic, disciplinary, discursive, and pragmatic knowledge. Historians read, interpret, and analyze to create narratives, explanations, or arguments. According to Bain (2012), the traditional strategies of sourcing, contextualizing, or corroborating do not fully capture the reading support that students need to understand the different genre, positions, and type of historical texts.

It stated how the Supply - set of quantities of a good or service per unit of time that sellers would be willing to place on the market at various alternative prices of an item or other things being equal , increase rapidly this being called a Supply Shock. It then went into details that if the market was flooded with these Pokemon cards at Christmas the n the price value of the cards would drop. But not necessarily because of Demand - amounts of a product that consumers are willing and able to buy at each price in a set of possible prices at a time. If the kids that received Pokemon for Christmas are new to the market then there might be a shift in demand, unlike the kids that have already been into the market with Pokemon Cards. So there could be a rise in the price or a decrease depending on the demand. The article illustrates greatly on the Quantity Supplied - amount of a good or service that people are willing to sell, Quantity Demanded - amount of a good or service that people are willing to purchase. Supply Curve - as prices rise the quantity that people are willing to sell rises (Law of Supply). Demand Curve - as prices rise the quantity that people are willing to buy falls (Law of Demand). Equilibrium - reached when supply equals quantity demanded. Economics Essays
