Host A 67 American History Community => Health
If I don’t do this
SOMEBODY should
Community => Health
Based on Gladwell/s ‘Outliers’ and Roseto Effect
Roseto effect - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roseto_effect
The Roseto effect is the phenomenon by which a
close-knit community experiences a reduced rate of heart disease. The effect is
named for Roseto, Pennsylvania.
CONCEPT: Teach American History in high school, using community
members as exoerts.
Write a book. Put it on ‘YouTube’.
Make money with membership site. Distribute the wealth
To school employees, school board, experts, and
students too.
Divide the period 1620-2020
(400 years) by the number of students. Each studies an individual, institution,
Idea, or Invention with its predecessors and successors for the class. Also use
before 1620 (especially ‘America B. C.’ by Harvard prof Barry Gell, and for
after, mention Kardashev (Civilization 1, all the energy of the planet, 2 =
solar system, 3 = galaxy). And more… Key book would be atheist Howard Bloom’s ‘The
God Problem’—from subatomic particles on, explorers and consolidators. Has good
history of science. All Jordan’ ‘Through New Eyes.Great Christian.
The textbook with its quizzes
is assumed to be read, and is basis for grades.
For the after 2020, add
futuristic fiction and non-fiction. For before 1620 add Cremo, Hancock,
Velikovsky and more. Studens would have questions written for experts, experts
would have 1-pagers made, parents would be encouraged to present. ‘No battle
plan survives first contact with the enemy’ So too for marketing plans and
market.
Examples: John Wesley for
Awakening, Newspaper-Ben Franklin, etc. Horace Mann.
The key emphasis would be
First Amendment, especially freedom of speech.
Teenagers who made history
would seque into treating students as participants in book writing.
