Synopsis

This easy-to-use curriculum package contains a treasury of fun, hands-on, kid-tested learning activities for ages 8-12, including warm-ups, demonstrations, crafts, songs, felt lessons, role plays, discussion starters, memory quotes, puzzles, poems, worksheets, research projects, outdoor games, and more. Easily adaptable for older and younger children as well. The book was honored as an IP Notable by Independent Publisher Magazine, which called it "a title of distinction—as important as the ABC's and the 123s." Topics include: One Human Race, Unity in Diversity, Skin Color and Overcoming Prejudice. The lessons are ideal for academic classes, after-school clubs, Saturday or Sunday schools, weekend retreats and summer camps.

THE PACKAGE INCLUDES:

• Our 300 page teacher's guide with step-by-step lesson plans
• Song sheets, readings and printable student handouts

Teaching Unity supports national educational standards across multiple subjects and grade levels, and incorporates Marzano’s nine high-yield classroom strategies throughout the book.

Its purpose is to help prepare our children to live as citizens in a global society—recognizing our interdependence, respectful of our differences, and working together towards a more prosperous and peaceful world.
