Word of the Year: Renaissance

Each year, we choose a Word of the Year...something to focus on energies on for the upcoming year.  It's akin to the New Year Resolution, but less of an actual task than a change in mindset.  For 2024, we selected Renaissance...or Awakening, if you will.

Previous words of the year include:

You can visit each of these to pick up resources and ideas for incorporating those principles and goals into your home.


Looking around, something I've noticed since 'rona is a realignment of values and priorities.  People were forced to really take a good, hard look at their lives and reexamine what they wanted.  For folks of a certain age, those mid-lifers, it kicked off a renaissance movement...

Renaissance is a French word meaning “rebirth.”  People tend to think of it as the revival of art and literature under the influence of classical models in the 14th–16th centuries, but it can also be a revival or renewed interest in something.

For homeschooling mamas reaching the end of their journey, having the last child leave, facing an empty nest, and potentially coping with aging parents can all lead to major life changes that leave you wondering exactly what comes next.  Particularly if you've made the decision not to pursue a career and instead dedicated your life to raising babies and setting the stage for them to be successful, what is your purpose now?

This is a prime moment to face rebirth.  Your old life is fading, but your new life isn't born yet.  It's not a midlife crisis, per se, though it might seem like it to those on the outside, but it's a time to examine what the next steps are....

Some of the Precursors to a Rebirth

  • Death of a Loved One
  • Physical Changes
  • Career Setback
  • Family Relationship

Signs of Impending Rebirth

  • Feelings of Nostalgia
  • Emptiness and Boredom
  • Discontentment with Life
  • Drastic Change in Attitude

Censorship, Propaganda, and the Book Thief

 In our current climate of big-tech censorship, mass media propaganda, and an ever-increasingly polarized world, scholars are debating a World War 2 question --- would censorship have stopped the Nazis?  What lessons can be applied today?

As we have learned in previous novel studies, Germany was defeated in World War I, suffered dire consequences, and eventually came under the control of Adolf Hitler.  He envisioned the German people, specifically the Aryan people, as a superior race.  As early as 1934, he began making changes in Germany's political agreements and governmental policies.  He began to annex adjoining areas, such as Czechoslovakia, into his empire.

There is a long history of anti-Semitism, such as that we studied in the Broken Strings unit study.  Jews had long been persecuted against for their religious beliefs, and at times were forced to convert to another religion.  Many of them were money lenders (due to restrictions put into place regarding what jobs they were allowed to have), and when the economy of Germany took a nosedive, this made Jews an easy scapegoat.  In his 1925 book, Mein Kampf, Hitler accused Jews of deliberately attempting to pollute the pure German gene pool, of robbing Aryans, and of destroying the nation’s social fabric. 

We study the Holocaust and its atrocities more in depth in Under the Donim Tree.  You may also pick up the entire bundle of Jewish Studies through Literature - ten units.

Banned Books in Nazi Germany

The government banned books that were written by authors with Jewish lineage, or who had communist or pacifist leanings.  The books were removed from public, and it became illegal to own one, and many were burned.  In some occupied countries, books that were not written in German (even if German wasn't the native language) were also banned.  A few well known books that were banned included All Quiet on the Western Front and Metamorphosis.

Censorship & Propaganda

When Nazis first came to power, the German constitution guaranteed freedoms of speech and the press, but those rights were eroded over the next couple of years.  This eventually destroyed the German democracy.  It was illegal to criticize the government, and even illegal to tell a joke about Hitler!

In spite of this erosion of their rights, it was imperative for the people to support Nazi ideas, if they were to accomplish their political goals.  To get the people on board, they seized control of newspapers, magazines, radio shows, books, music, movies, and other art forms.  They did this by banning books, controlling what allowed to be published in print or on air, and even censoring letters home from soldiers.  This helped to damper the flow of negative information.

In addition to stopping negative information from getting out, a new department - the Reich Ministry of Enlightenment and Propaganda - was headed by Joseph Goebbels to create and promote propaganda.  Propaganda is information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view, and the Nazis used it to spread their ideology.  Some examples of this included: using Hitler's image all over the place, spreading negative ideas and misinformation about Jews, broadcasting Nazi speeches, holding large rallies, promoting Nazi ideas in the classroom, and creating youth groups, such as the Hitler Youth and League of German Girls.

Our spine read for this unit is...

  • The Book Thief
    • It is 1939. Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier, and will become busier still. Liesel Meminger is a foster girl living outside of Munich, who scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can’t resist–books. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement. In superbly crafted writing that burns with intensity, award-winning author Markus Zusak, author of I Am the Messenger, has given us one of the most enduring stories of our time.

Studying Congo with Inoyo of the Congo Forest



Congo-Brazzaville and Congo-Kinshasa...two African countries with a similar history, but a varied future...

The word ‘Congo’ originates from the Bakongo, a Bantu tribe that lives in both countries.  Congo-Kinshasa (also known as the Democratic Republic of Congo) is the third-largest country in Africa, but Congo-Brazzaville (also known as the Republic of Congo) is very small in both size and population.

Both Congo countries are the perfect place for visitors who love outdoor adventures.   There are several hiking trails, national parks, places to boat, and beaches.  In Congo-Brazzaville, most of the population lives in urban areas, but in Congo-Kinshasa, the large majority lives scattered in the rural regions that are lushly covered in tropical forest.  The indigenous peoples of the region largely include the Bantu and Pygmies, with nearly 200 other ethnic tribes comprising the rest.

Congo History

The countries were once ruled by France and Belgium, and French is one of the official languages of the region.  Aside from Rome and the Vatican City, the Congo capitals - Brazzaville and Kinshasa - are the closest capital cities on Earth.  They sit directly across each other on either side of the shared Congo River.  Both countries gained their independence in 1960, and while their cultures are similar, they began to split in similarity at this point.  

They use different currencies and have different governmental systems.  Congo-Kinshasa (orange on the map) was once known as Zaire.  When it became independent from Belgium, Western countries supported General Mobuto Sese Seko as the leader of the free DRC.  Upon his death in 1997, the region was drawn into a series of military conflicts with its neighbors, known as "Africa's World War."
"The abundance of natural resources in the Congo helps fuel the flames of conflict. In a context in which the population is desperately poor and the government fails to provide even basic services, taking up arms seems to some individuals and communities to be the only way to break through the corruption, patrimonialism, and government incompetence that prevents their accessing the benefits of the abundant mineral wealth in their territory. Competition over resources has been a factor driving conflict, and the exploitation of Congo’s resources by groups linked to Rwanda, Uganda, and other outside interests has provided particular motivation for local militia groups to act to secure economic resources for their communities — or at least for themselves."  (~Global Security)

Colonization History

In 1884, the Berlin Conference was a starting point for partitioning the Dark Continent.  During what became known as the "Scramble for Africa," seven European powers divided, invaded, and occupied most of the land over the next 30 thirty years.  At the time, Europe was experiencing a depression.  Africa had an abundance of raw materials, such as oil, ivory, rubber, wood, and gum, that could be used for profit.  Nearly 90% of Africa was under European control by the onset of World War I.

Learn more about the scramble for Africa in our Things Fall Apart unit study, part of the Advanced Literature Studies bundle.

Dangerous Animals of the Congo

  • Hippopotamus may be an herbivore, but can easily kill a person since it is big, aggressive, and quick, both in and out of the water. It is believed that hippos are responsible for hundreds of deaths every year.
  • Nile Crocodile are large, fearsome predators with the occasional penchant to attack humans who accidentally stumble into their territory, and sometimes even grab fishers in their boats.
  • Puff Adder snakes are responsible for more bites than any other snake in Africa. There is always the danger of someone accidentally stepping on them as they lie in the dirt since they are camouflaged and very toxic.
  • Black Mamba is one of the largest and deadliest snakes in all of Africa. The potent mixture of neurotoxins will directly attack the nervous system. The death rate is quite high in untreated cases.

  • Where is the Congo?
  • Inoyo of the Congo Forest
    • Twelve-year-old Inoyo’s story begins in the dense tangle of the Congo rainforest, where he hunts for food as his father taught him. However, Inoyo has ambitions beyond the jungle—a plan to move to the Christian mission and learn medicine. His father, fearful of breaking tradition and of the tribal medicine man’s disapproval, grudgingly gives his permission. As he works tirelessly to prove his dedication and earn money for his schooling, Inoyo finds himself in a difficult position of choosing to help a friend in need or continuing to pursue his education. Equipped with practical medical knowledge from his time at the hospital and a newfound testimony of Jesus Christ, Inoyo helps to free his family and his village from the shackles of fear and superstition.

Year-by-Year High School Reading Plan

The Good & the Beautiful has an amazing language arts program, and my sons have really thrived by completing it.  Without any further practice or instruction, they've performed well on the ACT reading and grammar portions, too, so I know it's working!

I wanted the kids to have a stronger literature base, however, than just what was included in the program.  Each year, the students read five novels as part of the language arts.  We're a reading household, though, with each of us reading multiple books simultaneously...some for school, some for fun, some for bedtime (and in mom's case, one for the elliptical -- you can find Mom's Books here).  

One question I'm often asked if how we keep the plots separate, but as a long-time, avid reader, it just comes naturally.  I mean, as long as you're not reading very similar books (ie, don't be reading three WW2 books at the same time).  But I digress....

When choosing books to add to the language arts program, we took into consideration the other core classes the kids were doing each year and built a library around those studies.  You guys know I'm a huge proponent of learning through literature -- hence all the novel studies -- and we've been doing that for several years now.

When we first started homeschooling, we used a curriculum called A World of Adventure, which was AMAZING for families who want to do unit studies together.  Honestly, I have no idea why the author quit writing 2/3 of the way through.  Many of the books we used with that curriculum are on the list of fleshed out reading my young son does today as part of his high school.

Broken down by subject, here are our recommend reading list for additional high school studies.  
  • Books that are included in the TGTB Library line are starred.*
  • Books that we have unit studies for are highlighted.

Korean War Unit Study with Men of the 65th

The Korean War is known as the “Forgotten War” because it was largely overshadowed by World War II and the Vietnam War.  It was fought from 1950 to 1953 between the UN Allies (US & South Korea) and the Communists (North Korea & China)...

 

Korean War

In the early twentieth century, Japan successfully occupied and then annexed the Korean peninsula.  Despite early attempts by Koreans to break away from Japan, Korean remained a colony of the Empire of Japan until the end of World War II.  At the end of World War II, Korea was taken from Japan and divided in two at the 38th parallel.  Similar to the division of Germany, the north, following the pattern Soviet forces followed in Eastern Europe, was strongly Communist.  The south, being under the influence of the United States, was largely capitalist.

In June of 1950, forces from North Korea invaded South Korea seeking to unify it under northern leadership.  The U.S. and other United Nations committed troops to “police action” to defuse the situation.  However, when General Douglas MacArthur crossed the Line of Demarcation, disobeying orders, the Chinese entered the war as well on behalf of the north.  There were few naval battles, so most of the war took place on land or in the air. Conditions for those fighting were extreme.  In July of 1953, a cease-fire was agreed to, but a formal peace treaty was never signed.

Borinqueneers

The U.S. Army’s 65th Infantry Regiment, also known as the Borinqueneers from Puerto Rico, were one of the fiercest regiments to fight in this forgotten war.  During one particularly nasty battle, things turned south for this decorated unit.  In 1951, General MacArthur said, “magnificent ability and courage in field operations. They are a credit to Puerto Rico, and I am proud to have them in my command.”  

However, by 1952, this regiment went from being heralded by General Douglas MacArthur for battlefield bravery to having ninety-one soldiers court martialed and jailed.  It was later determined that prejudice and racism led to these charges, and the men were pardoned.

Honor and Fidelity. That is the motto of the 65th Infantry Regiment, also known as the Borinqueneers, the only Puerto Rican unit in the United States Army.

Since the regiment’s creation in 1899, the men of the 65th have proudly served the US through multiple wars, despite facing racial discrimination. Their courage, loyalty, and patriotism earned them hundreds of accolades, including the Congressional Medal of Honor in 2014.

But the honor and fidelity of the men of the 65th came into question in 1952, in the midst of the Korean War, when ninety-one Borinqueneers were arrested and tried for desertion and disobeying orders. How could this happen in one of the most distinguished and decorated units of the Army?

Culper Spies & Women in the Revolutionary War

Whether on the farm, in a tavern, working as a spy, or actively fighting in a battle, women played many roles in the American Revolution...

While formal politics did not include women at this time, everyday actions and behaviors became charged with political significance, and in this way women played an integral role.  The decision to stop drinking British tea or ordering clothes from Britain showed Colonial opposition by patriot women during the years both leading up to and during the war.

For the most post, women expressed their support through traditional gender roles, including home economics and assisting with the businesses of their husbands and fathers.  It should be noted that the war also negatively affected the lives of Tory women, who remained loyal to the crown, and those who remained politically neutral.

Fun Facts:

  • Women and children often followed the army camps, cooking, cleaning, and providing laundry services, as well as assisting in field hospitals and serving as seamstresses to repair clothing, tents, and other materials.
  • Some women disguised themselves as men in order to fight in the war.  Others served as spies during the war.  Women were fairly effective spies, for both sides, because they could pass through checkpoints and camps without raising too much suspicion or drawing too much attention to themselves.
  • Women took care of businesses, homesteads, families, and properties when their husbands left for war.  After the war, like multiple American wars in the centuries after the American Revolution, women were expected to go back to their traditional roles.
  • Women had political influence, but largely through their husbands.  One example is Abigail Adams, who famously and voluminously corresponded with her husband while he was in Philadelphia, reminding him that in the new form of government that was being established he should “remember the ladies” or they too, would foment a revolution of their own.  Learn more about Abi here.
  • It was the women, through personal diaries and narratives of others, who documented the war era.

A Woman Disguised

Deborah Sampson is known for having disguised herself as a man and serving in the Continental Army under the name Robert Shirtliff, fighting in the American Revolutionary War.  She was given the dangerous task of scouting neutral territory to assess British troops in Manhattan, which General George Washington contemplated attacking.  She helped lead infantrymen on an expedition that ended with Tory confrontation, then led a raid on a Tory home that resulted in the capture of 15 men.  At the siege of Yorktown, she dug trenches, helped storm a British redoubt, and endured canon fire.

For nearly two years, she fought, her sex undetected, despite close calls.  However, when she received a gash in her forehead from a sword and was shot in her left thigh, she contracted fever, lost consciousness, and was discovered while being treated in a hospital.  Upon being discovered, she was honorably discharged.  She was the only woman to earn a full military pension for participation in the Revolutionary army. 


Hidden in Plain Sight

Nathan Hale was hung for suspected treason in 1776, and was a wake-up call to the dangers of spying in this war, leading Washington to begin the Continental Army's secret service.  Benjamin Tallmadge headed the service, based on Long Island, New York, and recruited only those men and women he felt he could 100% trust.  This group became known as the Culper Spy Ring.

Only one women is known to have been a Culper Spy.  Anna Smith Strong was said to have aided in the spy ring’s activities.  Her husband had been confined on the British prison ship HMS Jersey in 1778, and she lived alone for much of the war.  She used the laundry on her clothesline to leave signals regarding meeting locations for other spies.

The Culper Spy Ring achieved more than any other American or British intelligence network during the war.  In 1780, it uncovered British plans to ambush the newly arrived French army, and without their warnings to Washington, that alliance may well have been damaged or destroyed by this surprise attack, leading to a completely different outcome for the war.


Read

  • Anna Strong & the Culper Spy Ring
    • It’s a true story of the American Revolution: Meet the secret Culper Ring, a network of American spies fighting against the army of British redcoats, and historical figures like George Washington and the soon-to-be-infamous Benedict Arnold. And meet Anna Strong, an unsung heroine who found ingenious ways to communicate top-secret messages to her fellow spies, helping to save the American colonies from British rule.
    • It’s a mystery to solve: There are clues embedded in the book’s text and illustrations. Spycraft materials, including a cipher wheel, come in an envelope at the beginning of the book. Use them to decode Anna’s hidden message and discover the secret mission she undertook for the Culper Ring!

Mare's War & African American Women of WW2


Most folks have heard of Rosie the Riveter, but have you heard of the Black Rosies?  What about the Double-V Campaign?

African-American serving in World War II faced racism in their service, and black women faced the double battle of racism and sexism.  Before recruitment and training even began, African American women faced the major hurdle of discrimination.  Applications were located at local United States Post Offices, and many women that applied were immediately denied, simply because of their race.  Once entering service, they also faced segregation within the military.  These women were kept in a  company separate from white trainees, including separate lodging, dining tables, and even recreational areas.

On the homefront, more than half a million 'Black Rosies' worked in shipyards, factories, railroads, and administrative duties for the war effort.  Many of them, however, worked tirelessly without any recognition.  It was during this time that the Double-V campaign began in Pittsburgh.  Double-V was a slogan used to highlight the struggle on two fronts that African-Americans found themselves fighting—for victory over freedom overseas and for victory over racism at home. 

Of the more than 140,000 women who served in the Women's Army Corps during World War II, about 6,500 of them were Black.  This included the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, a unit of more than 800 black WACs, and the only black WAC unit to serve overseas.  The women arrived in England with the task of working through a huge backlog of mail meant for the troops.  Working in three shifts around the clock, they were able to sort all of the mail in half the amount of time expected, just three months.  Each eight-hour shift averaged more than 65,000 pieces of mail sorted!

The military service of black men and women before and after the desegregation order, and the strength of the Double V Campaign, helped to inspire the modern civil rights movement that began in earnest just after the war ended.  

Learn more about the Civil Rights movement in The Watsons Go to Birmingham and Freedom Summer.

Notable Figures

Tuskegee Army Air Field Nurses

The Tuskegee Airmen were not the only ones on the base who had to fight gender as well as racial discrimination.  When the USs entered World War II, there was a shortage of nurses.  Out of a total of 50,000 Army Nurse Corps (ANC) nurses serving in World War II, only 500 (or 1%) were allowed to be African-American.  There was a cap, a limit, on the number allowed to serve.  Approximately 28 of those black nurses served at Tuskegee.

Mary McLeod Bethune 

Also known as “The First Lady of the Struggle,” Mary McLeod Bethune dedicated her life to improving the lives of African Americans.  She was born to former slaves and saw education and literacy as the way to escape poverty.  She was a teacher in the 1920s and 1930s, and during World War II, served as the assistant director of the Women’s Army Corps and helped to open the military to  African American women.

James Thompson

In a 1942 letter to the Pittsburgh Courier, Thompson called for African Americans to fight for a “double victory” over racism at home and fascism abroad.  This Double Victory campaign was displayed prominently in the paper's pages for months, as well as photos and stories encouraging its subscribers to form Double V clubs.
