Forsyte Saga The
Three generations’ worth of drama follow this British upper-middle-class family over the course of 30 years. The Forsyte family projects an air of superiority, arrogance, and confidence—but behind that façade is a family dealing with disappointment, tension, and jealousy. Relationships begin almost as unhappily as they end, and several come to a violent close. The Forsyte Saga, airing Saturdays at 7 p.m., follows the family as they transition from the Victorian era to the Edwardian. The story centers on Soames Forsyte (played by Damian Lewis, the Emmy Award-winning actor from Homeland and Masterpiece Classic: Wolf Hall) and his tormented relationship with Irene Heron. The Forsyte Saga is based on the books by the same name, written by John Galsworthy, who received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1932.
Episode 1 Saturday, August 1 at 7 p.m.
Episode 4
Episode 2 Saturday, August 8 at 7 p.m.
Two years into his marriage with Irene, Soames is concerned about their relationship. He hires an architect, Bosinney, to build a country home for them. Bosinney is the husbandto-be of June, the daughter of young Jolyon Forsyte. Young Jolyon is surprised when his father, old Jolyon, gets in touch.
Irene and Bosinney spend time together and, when she comes home late, Soames enters her bedroom and rapes her. Irene meets Bosinney the next day to tell him what happened. As Bosinney runs through the foggy streets to confront Soames, he’s hit by a cab and killed.
Episode 3 Saturday, August 15 at 7 p.m.
Episode 5 Saturday, August 29 at 7 p.m.
The Forsyte family comes together for an engagement celebration, though the bride-to-be’s parents don’t approve. Soames Forsyte, a successful partner in the family law firm, meets the beautiful, accomplished, but penniless Irene Heron. She agrees to marry Soames after an aggressive courtship.
As Bosinney constructs the Forsytes’ new home, he and Irene fall in love. With the exception of June and Soames, the entire family seems to know about the affair. When the house costs more to build than originally stated, Soames is furious and decides to sue Bosinney.
6
Saturday, August 22 at 7 p.m.
Irene ends her marriage with Soames, who then begins to suffer from deep depression. June, Bosinney’s ex-fiancée, reunites with her father, young Jolyon. Five years later, old Jolyon (who has moved into Soames and Irene’s country home) meets Irene by chance and a friendship between the two begins.
The drama doesn’t end here! Stay tuned next month for the second half of The Forsyte Saga.

stationbreak Learning Sustainability
Eating Alabama
Living a sustainable life—especially using sustainable farming practices and eating sustainable foods—has become a hot topic. WYCC PBS Chicago airs programs that feature stories of individuals leading sustainable lives and offering suggestions on what you can do too. Eating Alabama (Saturday, August 1 at 6 p.m.) is a story about why food matters. This documentary follows a young couple who wants to eat the way their grandparents did—locally and seasonally. They soon learn that the food system has changed drastically since their predecessors farmed the land. Jennie Garlington, host of EcoSense for Living (Sundays, August 2 and 9 at 3 p.m.), gives viewers tips on how to be more eco-aware and how to live an eco-sensible life. This month’s episodes focus on how to reduce your carbon footprint and how children and young adults can be more eco-friendly. Growing a Greener World, airing Sundays at 3:30 p.m., is an award-winning program that features organic gardening, green living, and farm-to-table food. A wide variety of topics are covered, including edible gardening, urban homesteading, hobby farming, seasonal cooking, and canning and preserving the harvest. Please see the listings for more information.
Just because we live in a large city doesn’t mean we can’t produce our own food. The City Colleges of Chicago provide courses on urban green space and urban agroecology, as well as more general courses in growing crops and understanding farming. CCC can get you started on the path to a sustainable future. Please see the CCC Course Catalog for additional courses: http://www.ccc.edu/Pages/ course-catalog.aspx

ONE-MINUTE BIOGRAPHY with
Eric Gorges
Eric Gorges is a native of Detroit, Michigan. His upbringing in Motor City didn’t get him interested in cars, but another type of vehicle has become his passion: motorcycles. In the late 1990s, Gorges was hospitalized for anxiety. He then quit his IT job and started an apprenticeship with Ron Fournier, one of the best metal-shapers in the country, and worked with him on vintage cars and hot rods. After learning the skills he needed, Gorges branched out on his own and founded Voodoo Choppers. Gorges didn’t want to assemble bikes by buying parts from suppliers and following a premade design. Instead, he wanted to be able to create everything himself and produce customized, one-of-akind motorcycles for his clients. Gorges’ appreciation for handmade crafts comes from his father and grandfather, whom he describes as “how-to kind of guys.” His father never hired anyone to fix things around their house— he would always do the work himself—and Gorges’ grandfather was a cabinetmaker by trade. As the host of A Craftsman’s Legacy, Gorges interviews craftsmen from around the country and becomes their temporary apprentice, learning the art of book making, basket weaving, saddle making, and much more. Tune in Saturdays at 3 p.m. to discover that the lost world of craftsmanship isn’t so lost after all.
WYCC PBS Chicago offers teachers of different grade levels an excellent selection of highinterest, educationally rich programs for students, along with accompanying resources— absolutely free! Here are some of this month’s highlights categorized by content area.

Summertime Is Teachers’ Time! Everyone knows that teachers love and need a summer break! For some teachers, it’s a wonderful time to travel, read books by the pool, and pursue special interests. Check out the Around the Globe: Italy resources from the PBS LearningMedia Global Learning and Diplomacy Collection. Teachers are also invited to join Rick Steves as he explores Italy’s Verona, Padova, and Ravenna. Padova is famed for its venerable university, precious Giotto frescoes, and pilgrim-packed Basilica. Verona is a hit with aficionados of Roman ruins and Romeo and Juliet fans. And Ravenna, with its shimmering mosaics, was once the western bastion of the Byzantine Empire.
New Classroom Practices and Professional Development Summer’s also a great time to investigate new classroom practices and to do some professional development. You at the Zoo – Professional Development is a great resource where teachers can watch a five-video series to learn strategies and methods to integrate Scientific Inquiry into the classroom. These easy-to-follow videos will help you help students to make connections, think like a scientist, and learn independently in the classroom.
