6月19日星期六,是Juneteenth Day那a commemoration of the freeing of slaves in the United States. Signed into law in 2021 and first observed on June 18, 2021, it is now a federal holiday. This holiday reminds all of the Civil War era, when slaves were declared free on June 19, 1867. In this blog entry, you will explore a variety of teaching resources for Juneteenth, a portmanteau of the words “June” and “nineteenth.”
For those looking to integrate this national celebration into the classroom, there are a number of great digital resources available. Let’s explore a few.
关于the Word
As an ELA teacher, one of the most fascinating aspects (after historical significance) is the word itself. If you are not familiar with the term “portmanteau,” you will recognize many examples. A portmanteau is a word formed when two words are merged together. Consider the combination of “breakfast” and “lunch” to form “brunch.” Even movies can be portmanteaus, “two meanings packed up into one word” (source).
Portmanteaus的例子,如Juneteenth,作为Digital Explorers周围的全部存在:
- 电子邮件is formed of “electronic” and “mail,” or Gmail is “Google” plus “mail.”
- Malware is the beginning of “malicious” and the end of “software.”
- Wi-Fi is “wireless” and “fidelity.”
- Webinar is “web” and “seminar” together.
- Netiqute是“互联网”加“礼仪”。
正如您可以想象的那样,有很多例子,例如Spork,Smog,Velcro,Turducken,Madcap和Placktivism(source。See this Seesaw Library activity例如Portmanteau的课程。
