Geography and landscape
The USA is a huge country and is the world’s third
largest nation (total area). There is a time difference
of six hours between Alaska and Maine! The USA has
a varied landscape including temperate forests in
the east, huge flat plains in the centre, deserts in the
south-west, the Appalachian and Rocky Mountains,
the Great Lakes, temperate rainforests in the Pacific
Northwest, mangrove forests in Florida, Arctic
regions in Alaska, and the volcanic islands of Hawaii.
The weather is varied – in the north there are very
cold winters and in the south-east it is sub-tropical.Sometimes there is extreme weather in the USA with
floods, hurricanes, droughts and earthquakes.
States and government
The USA has 50 states – 48 form the landmass between
Canada and Mexico. Alaska is the 49 th state, and Hawaii

About the USA
Economy
The USA has the most important economy in the
world. The country has rich mineral resources
including gold, oil, coal and uranium. The USA is a
top producer of corn, wheat, sugar and tobacco, and
its industries produce aluminium, iron, steel, cars,
aeroplanes and electronics. But the biggest sector
of the economy is that of the service industries.
The people
The USA has a population of 308 million, many
descended from European immigrants. Thepopulation grew from a few million in 1820 to
over 100 million by 1920. Large groups of people
are descended from immigrants from Germany,
England, Scotland, Ireland and Italy, Scandinavian
countries and other eastern and southern European
countries. People from Mexico and South and
Central America are the largest minority group –
14.8% of the population. About 13% of the population
are African-Americans, mostly descended from
African slaves brought to America, and 4.4% of the
population is Asian-American. Native Americans and
Inuit have lived in the country thousands of years,
but make up less than 1% of the population.
Culture
All the major cities have classical music, historical, scientific
and art centres, and many museums. There is a rich culture
of dance, theatre, film and popular music. US culture
influences the rest of the world, especially the Western World.
Music, movies and TV from the USA are popular everywhere,
and US food and lifestyle is also exported all over the world.

Hi! We’re from Westlands High School, Denver,
and this is our class project on holidays in the
USA.The calendar of holidays in the USA tells us
about the history of our nation. These are some
of the holidays that we celebrate.
Martin Luther King Day third Mondayof January In the 1950s and 1960s the Reverend Dr
Martin Luther King used non-violent protests to fight against
the treatment of blacks as second-class citizens. He made
a famous speech in 1963 which started, ‘I have a dream ...’
Soon after, the US Congress prohibited racial discrimination.
In 1968 Martin Luther King was assassinated, and since 1986
there has been a holiday on that day.
President’s Day third Monday of
February George Washington was the first president
of the USA. There was a national holiday to celebrate his
birthday on 22 February until the 1970s. But then Congress
decided to create a single day to celebrate all the presidents
of the USA.
Memorial Day fourth Monday in May
Cities all around the country have their own ceremonies,
parades and memorial services to honour the dead. The
President of the USA gives a speech and lays a wreath. For
many Americans this day marks the beginning of summer,
and we go to the beach or to the mountains.

Independence Day the fourth of July
This is the birthday of the USA as a free nation. It
commemorates the signing of the Declaration of
Independence on July 4, 1776. The 13 British colonies on the
eastern coast were at war with Britain. They fought for the
freedom of the colonies. We have picnics, patriotic parades,
concerts and fireworks on this day.
Labor Day first Monday of September
In 1894 Congress made Labor Day a holiday to honour all
working people. In many places there are Labor union
parades. It marks the end of the summer and we often go to
the beach for a three-day weekend. And for us students, it
marks the beginning of the school year!
Columbus Day second Monday in
October Do you know who Christopher Columbus was?
Of course you do! He was the European navigator who landedin the New World in 1492. There is a huge parade in New York
to celebrate this holiday.
Halloween 31st October ‘Trick or treat’ say the
children as they go from house to house dressed as ghosts
and witches. The neighbours have to give them a present
or they have a trick played on them. Teenagers and adults
have masquerade parties, too. The orange pumpkin, with its
scary face, is a symbol of Halloween and comes from a Celtic
tradition.
Thanksgiving Day fourth Thursday in
November What is this important event about? When
the Pilgrim Fathers arrived in Massachusetts in 1621 they
had a terrible first winter. Then Native Americans taught
them how to grow food, and the next harvest was so good
that they held a feast. We have a big dinner with our family
and friends and serve food from that first feast – roast
turkey, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes and pumpkin
pie. We give thanks before we begin the meal.
Christmas 25th December Most
Americans are Christians and we have a holiday for
the Christmas period and spend it with our family and
friends. We go shopping before Christmas and giveeach other presents on Christmas Day. We decorate our
homes, have a Christmas tree and eat Christmas dinner.
Ethnic Holidays There are other significant
holidays which aren’t national days. The Chinese
communities celebrate Chinese New Year with
fireworks and feasts. And since 1966, African Americans
have celebrated Kwanzaa, an African harvest festival.
Mardi Gras happens in New Orleans with a big parade.
And on St Patrick’s Day there is a parade in New York
to commemorate the Irish patron saint.
State Holidays Each state has its own holidays,
too. Our favourite is Groundhog Day. It is celebrated in
Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. A groundhog, ‘Punxsutawney
Phil’, has to come out of his hole. If he sees his shadow in
the sun, it is going to be an early spring. If not, it will be a
long winter! It was the location of a famous comedy film,
Groundhog Day .

CLILMUSIC: HISTORY OF JAZZ
It was dangerous and it was rebellious. It was
called ‘The Devil’s Music’. It started in the fields
of southern USA as the music of the slaves, but
now we see it as a symbol of democracy and
freedom. When we look at the history of blues
and jazz music, we can follow the history of
black America, from slavery to celebrity.
Jazz and Blues
Work songs and Spirituals
In 19th century southern USA, most African Americans
worked as slaves in the fields. Their lives were very hard
and they sang work songs and spirituals – religious
songs – to show their feelings of sadness and their
hopes for freedom. These songs were the beginnings
of blues music and the word ‘blues’ means a feeling
of sadness. Sometimes slaves used these songs to
give secret messages to each other. For example, the
spiritual, The Gospel Train’s A-comin’ , is about a group of
slaves who are getting ready to escape from slavery.
The Beginnings of Jazz
When slavery ended in 1865, many African Americans
moved into the towns. They brought blues music with
them and it became popular throughout Southern
America. The most exciting city in the southern USA at
this time was probably New Orleans. It was full of people
and their music from all over the world. As well as blues
music, there were marching bands which played brass
instruments like trumpets, cornets and tubas and there
was folk music from Europe. At the same time, two
black musicians - Scott Joplin and Jelly Roll Morton –
developed a form of piano music called ‘Ragtime’. This
used syncopation with a strong bass line.Gradually a new type of music grew from these
different musical styles – jazz music. It was the music of
the people, the music of the immigrants, the slaves and
the rebels.

Jazz and the Great DepressionJazz and blues music spread from the southern states to the northern and
it became the music for the young generation of the 1920s. By now, jazz
music was popular with white and black audiences. During the Great
Depression of the 1930s and then the second world war, people danced
to jazz bands as a way of escaping from their difficult lives at home. Louis
Armstrong and Duke Ellington formed jazz orchestras and played ‘Chicago
style’ jazz. But although they were famous musicians, they still experienced
racial segregation – where black and white people went to different schools,
had different seats on the bus and even used different entrances to get into
concert halls.
Cool JazzBy the 1950s, there were many different styles of jazz music. Artists like
Charlie Parker, Miles Davis and Ella Fitzgerald used a lot of improvisation.
Each time they played a tune, they created a new way to play it and they used
a lot of extra notes. This style of jazz was called ‘cool jazz’.
Other jazz styles in the 1950s and 1960s included ‘be-bop’, ‘hard bop’ and
‘free jazz’.
Jazz hasn’t stopped developing, changing and growing. It
has been a huge influence in much of the popular music of
today, especially R&B, soul music and hip hop. The ‘devil’s
music’ is still alive!
‘Jazz isn’t dead. It just smells funny.’ FRANK ZAPPA
The Gospel Train’s a’comin’
I hear it just at handI hear the car wheels rumblin’
And rollin’ thro’ the land
CHORUS:
Get on board little childrenGet on board little children
Get on board little childrenThere’s room for many more
I hear the train a’comin’She’s comin’ round the curve
She’s loosened all her steam and brakesAnd strainin’ ev’ry nerve
The fare is cheap and all can goThe rich and poor are there
No second class aboard this trainNo difference in the fare
