Suggestions for Using Material
in the Unit |
The lesson plans in this unit were primarily designed
for use in a United States history course. However, we have tried to create
activities and materials which can be used independently of one another and
in various combinations so as to be of use in other social studies subjects.
The following table suggests clusters of activities that might be used across
the curriculum.
The resources for each lesson are in Adobe PDF format. There is a link on
the Resources page that will take you to the Adobe web site where you can download
the free Adobe reader.
