MeL Minute: Secondary PE eRsources in MeL
by Ann Kaskinen 06 Apr '23

06 Apr '23

[A picture containing text, clipart, sign Description automatically generated]Physical Education is an integral part of the K-12 curriculum throughout Michigan. While most of the Academic Standards for PE<https://www.michigan.gov/mde/-/media/Project/Websites/mde/2019/02/22/K_12_P…> are focused on actual physical activity, there are some moments when no-dress days happen and physical activity for students is not possible. Maybe it’s raining, snowing, or sleeting and that day’s activity must be indoors. Perhaps the gymnasium has been closed because of a local election taking place. Occasionally, individual students may have forgotten gym clothes or sustained an injury. Whatever the case, the Michigan eLibrary<https://mel.org/welcome> (MeL) has many eResources for regular and alternative PE assignments. Current Events Standard 4.2 in the high school PE Academic Standards asks students to explore sports as current events and consider moral and ethical conduct in specific, competitive situations. Last month, men’s and women’s March Madness brackets would certainly have offered some ripe investigations. Dozens of full-text articles<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> on gambling and sports are available in MAS Complete<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…> as well as pro/con articles, infographics, statistics and video clips in Gale in Context: Opposing Viewpoint<http://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=ov…> and Points of View Reference Center<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…>. This month, The Masters Tournament can be explored through articles in Golf Magazine<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…>, Sports Illustrated<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…>, and Golf Digest<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…>—publications currently available in MasterFILE Complete<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…>. Dance I have not-so-fond memories of holding the sweaty palms of my middle school classmates as we promenaded around the gym, learning about square dancing. Dance is still an important part of secondary education. In Standard 2.4 students are asked to identify examples of social and technical dance forms. Further, the Level 2 outcome of S2.4 pushes students to compare similarities and differences between these forms. Britannica School<http://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=eb> offers a wide range of dance<https://school.eb.com/levels/high/article/dance/110116> content, including images and video clips. Students can investigate further, reading about various dances<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> in the eBook High School Collection<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…>. Finally, Dance Magazine<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…>, a publication in MAS Complete, gives contemporary information regarding the dance community. History Standard 2.1 invites students to explore the historical and cultural role of games, sports, and dance in a society. The eBook High School Collection has a wide range of titles<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> to support this endeavor, including Tennis: A History from American Amateurs to Global Professionals<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…>; Game of Privilege: An African American History of Golf<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…>; Hockey: A Global History<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…>; and American Sports in an Age of Consumption: How Commercialization is Changing the Game<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…>. Next month, as enthusiasts gear up for the Kentucky Derby and Indianapolis 500, remember that MeL has resources to explore the history, culture, and ethics surrounding these events and so many more!

Michigan Notable Author Tonight: Anne-Marie Oomen
by Kristin Madaj 06 Apr '23

06 Apr '23

Hi all, The Bay County Library System will be hosting Michigan Notable Author Anne-Marie Oomen tonight (7:00 pm) at the Alice & Jack Wirt Library in Bay City for a book discussion and Q & A! Anne-Marie Oomen’s 2022 memoir, As Long As I Know You: The Mom Book, about her difficult but ultimately rewarding relationship with her mother, won a Michigan Notable Book Award. Her readings spring from a range of lively sources including intergenerational challenges (Mother-daughter conflict?), travel adventures (You lost your passport!), and how she discovered poetry (involving a 1969 Camaro). Working in multiple genres, Oomen explores the nature of relationships, the natural world, and personal transformation. The Michigan Notable Book program is sponsored in part by the Library of Michigan Foundation, Michigan Center for the Book, and Michigan Humanities.
