One of four curriculum guides designed to aid teachers of grades K-9 in implementing a balanced, dynamic traffic safety program, this level D guide contains materials for teachers of grades 7-9. Emphasis is on preparation for the driving task and content is in three units. More sophisitcated approaches to pedestrian, bicycle, and school bus safety, plus an optional farm vehicle section, are presented in the first unit (grade 7). The second unit, presented in grade 8, deals with the history of the automobile, automotive safety devices, trip planning, and other activities focusing on the driver's responsibilities. The ninth grade unit deals directly with preparation for driver education with attitude clarification and formation emphasized. Each unit is divided into concepts or general topics for discussion with each topic including lists of behavioral objectives, a content outline, material to use as background information, and suggested activities (some of them action projects). Also included are artwork and other worksheets for use as reproduction masters and resource lists for each section. Materials for a driving awareness game are appended.
