FEB. 22, 2013 B JEAN GILLETTE Small Talk Watching the world fly by You knew I would be giddy about the Russian meteorite. It just fueled the fire of my fascination with all the strange things floating around out there, largely beyond our r each and completely beyond our control. I love it when science fiction turns into science. So let’s review the main thing w e learned from all this. That’s right. We now know that an asteroid becomes a meteor when it enter s Earth’s atmosphere and burns up. If you’ve seen a shooting star, you’ve seen a meteor. But meteorites ar e meteors that mak e it all the way to Earth’ s surface. Write it down. Remember it. This could be important at your next cocktail party or in-home tri via game. It will also be helpful when y ou write the obituary for your Uncle Boris who li ves in meteorite-heavy Siberia. I was glued to the Internet for hours, scrutinizing every different bit of footage on the Chelyabinsk sky show. What else did I learn? That Russians ar e either asleep at the wheel or have nerves of steel. Here comes an une xpected, enormous ball of fir e screaming across the sky, in some cases in the direction of their windshield. Do they slam on the brakes? Nyet. Do they even slow down or alter their path in an y way? Not that I sa w. Tell me again — ho w did w e win the Cold War? No wonder our former foes made such terrific villains in so many books and movies. Based on the sound tracks from most of the meteorite footage, however, the Russians have atrocious taste in dri ve-time music. It made you almost grateful for the huge explosion that drowned it TURN TO SMALL TALK ON B15 GENERATING FEELINGS Poet and author Gary Soto thinks that writing should be interesting and hopes that people will find poetry and prose are worth their attention.

Oliver is a pr ofessional pianist and or ganist in addition to being principal of the visual and performing arts magnet school. Schwartz, who currently teaches second grade, began by playing standard elementary school songs on his guitar. One day he decided to have his students sing “Deep Elem Blues.” Then a funny thing happened. Mr. Schwartz teaches us things other teachers don’t.” Canyon Benner Student “A student got up and started dancing,” he recalled. “Soon others followed, and they started memorizing the songs. Two of these were English language learners who had just come fr om Mexico and Japan and w ere not speaking any English, no matter how hard I tried to encourage them. It was the music that attr acted them to the English language.” Schwartz started using music as a whole class resource in phonics and decoding lessons, then realized the natur e of blues provided an historical content to learn ad ditional subjects. He introduced his class to other blues standards such as “Sweet Home Chicago,” “Promised Land” and “Get Rhythm.” By projecting vintage photos of trains, Greyhound buses and telephone oper ators depicted in the l yrics of these songs, he facilitated a discussion wher e students compared and contrasted their dail y lives with their ancestors. Each blues song pr esented a wealth of thematic teaching opportunities to learn history, sociology, math and English as Schwartz walked students through lyrics such as the late Jesse Fuller’s “The Monkey and the Engineer.” “‘Drove a locomoti ve both far and near ,’” he read to his class. “Far and near — what’s that?” “An antonym,” a student answered. “What’s that?” he asked. “Opposite,” the student replied. “‘Accompanied by a monkey sitting on the driver’s seat.’ Is that fiction or nonfiction?” he asked. “A monkey couldn’t drive a tr ain so it’s make believe,” another student answered. “Fiction, right?” he said. Afterward, students scan their w ork, edit it with Photoshop and upload it on their personal student blog where Schwartz and par ents can review it. A year ago, Schwartz’s class formed a m usical group, The Kids Like Blues Band! where they learned to hone their phr asing, choreograph their dance moves, review tapes and fine-tune their act f or their next performance. To date, the band has been featured by the U.S. Department of Education, Education Week, California Association for the Gifted Confer ence in Anaheim, Quantum Learning Center Campus in Oceanside, Cal State San Marcos College of Education, MainStreet Oceanside’s Sunset Market and KPBS. Schwartz said the class and their par ents were treated like royalty when they visited the studios of San Diego 6 TV to do a live performance. “I tell my family that we keep getting mor e TURN TO BLUES ON B15 From left to right: Students Isla Lozano, Anthony Moreno, teacher Jonathan Schwartz, and students Alena Mingmuang and Julian Roberts.
