New England. Teacher's Resource Unit.
YEAR PUBLISHED: 1968
NOTE: 71 p.
ABSTRACT: This resource unit for grade 1, the second unit
on the theme Families Around the World, is concerned
specifically with the Algonquin Tribes of the Southern New
England area. Objectives are for the students to cross
culturally examine the concept of culture, noting that it
is a learned behavior, and to recognize the diversity in
cultures and the contributions made to all by cultural
pluralism. Students will also examine the social
organization, social process, and the locational sites of
the Algonquins. Inquiry training and concept learning are
emphasized in numerous learning activities. The first part
of the guide provides background information on tribal
village life, major jobs of men and women, environment,
clothing, farming, food, hunting, trapping, fishing,
religion, and social structure. The majority of the
document describes teaching strategies for 58 developmental
activities in a format designed to help teachers see the
relationships among objectives, content teaching
procedures, and materials of instruction. Audiovisual aids
and printed materials to be used are listed with each
activity and a general list of educational media is given.
Appendices include many pupil materials for this unit.
