In this lesson, students explore the effects of Internet filters in schools. Students work in small groups to survey different types of people in the school community (students, parents, teachers, administrators and school board members) about their views on school Internet filters and draft an Internet policy based on their responses. Groups then compare and contrast the views of their respondents and develop a school Internet policy that takes into account the needs and perspectives of all of these different people involved in the school community.

In this lesson, students examine the events behind the destruction of the Berlin Wall and the continued struggles to truly unify the former East Germany and West Germany. In small groups, students research the possible views of different types of people living in East Germany and West Germany while the Berlin Wall still stood, exploring perspectives on numerous aspects of life in Germany as well as views towards other countries. Students then create characters based on their research, who then meet people from the other side of the Wall (students’ characters representing the other side) upon its falling. Finally, pairs document the meeting of these people in a written piece, including both people’s views of the aspects of Germany researched as well as speculation on what the future of an undivided Germany might bring.

Allstate Corp, in major sales strategy, will begin selling auto and homeowners' insurance and other coverage over telephone and Internet; company says it is not abandoning its force of 15,200 agents, but it expects them to continue selling and to provide service for customers who want personal attention after buying coverage through new methods; company's trend toward converting its agents to independent contractors--who pay for office expenses and health insurance, instead of being Allstate employees--is accelerating; by July, there will be virtually no agents on staff; that will mean less job security for 6,500 agents who are still in process of changing to independent contractors; Allstate says it will cut 4,000 back-office positions, about 10 percent of its administrative staff, from its payroll by end of next year as part of plan to reduce operating expenses by $600 million annually (M)
