Lesson Main

Resources have been divided into chapters to facilitate their use; each contains in-depth background material for the teacher, followed by a set of behavioral objectives, lesson plans, and activities. Since there is no text, per se, the activities have been planned as learning exercises. This curriculum guide may be used in whole or in part. Because of the great amount of material included, you may not have sufficient time to use all of the lessons and activities.
