Roosevelt’s position within the organization was President of American Forestry, and he was assigned with the responsibility of establishing of protected zones of territory where the Ozark Howler would be allowed to roam undisturbed, its population managed so that Howler eradication efforts could be focused near areas of concentrated human settlement. So it was that Theodore Roosevelt was initiated into the International Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo, a secret society dedicated to dealing with the danger posed by the Ozark Howler. What Greenway and Roosevelt agreed upon was that the “Hoo-Hoo situation” needed to be managed. The more Teddy Roosevelt heard about the Ozark Howler, however, the more he came to respect it, telling Greenway that the Hoo Hoo sounded like “a bully good beast” that embodied the robust physical character of the growing American nation. Greenway, who was from Hot Springs, Arkansas, was also a member of the Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo, and shared with Roosevelt the underlying mission of that organization: To protect lumbermen from the Howler, which they nicknamed the Hoo Hoo, in imitation of its infamous nocturnal howl. It was during this time that Roosevelt’s attention first turned to the Ozark Howler. Greenway rode as a Rough Rider in Cuba, and quickly earned the admiration of Roosevelt. This led Roosevelt into military adventures, including the campaigns of the Rough Riders against the Spanish Empire. Theodore Roosevelt had grown up as a weak and sickly child of wealthy Northeastern elites, but reacted against this upbringing by seeking out vigorous physical adventures in the outdoors. Yet, something powerful stood in the way of Ozark development. It happened, and like the grave of Genghis Khan, the evidence is hidden in plain sight.Īt the beginning of the 20th century, Americans were determined to settle the Ozarks, to enjoy the beauty of its hills, the mildness of its climate, and the friendliness of its rural communities. Nothing like this could ever happen in the United States of America, right? Then, when the Communists took over Mongolia in the 20th century, they continued the practice, to prevent anti-Communist nationalists from seeking relics of Genghis Khan to spark a revolt against the centralized government.

This is especially useful if you use the overhead projector and want students to see how much time they have left in an activity.What drove the Ozark Howler underground? Maybe it’s the same thing that has kept the location of the grave of Genghis Khan a secret.įor hundreds of years, the location of the grave of Genghis Khan was kept a secret by guards who prohibited anyone from entering an area hundreds of square miles around the place where the body of the Mongolian leader was buried.

Now, you can set a timer from within the Google search bar and you’ll see a countdown at the top of the results page. Generally, you shouldn’t do a class activity (like lecturing or project work time) for more than 20 minutes at a time, lest students’ interest and productivity start to slip away.Įven in your own personal productivity, a handy timer can support the Pomodoro method of working.

It’s good practice to use a “Teach Timer” during class meetings to keep a good momentum between different activities.
