The document discusses making Appalachian history, especially north Georgia, an integral part of American history in grade 11. Course objectives are to: (1) present current historical and cultural facts on Appalachia; (2) encourage students to explore and examine their cultural background; (3) understand the causative and sequential relationships between the past and present; (4) try to develop concern for the dignity, welfare, rights, and freedom of all individuals; (5) instill in each individual his worth to the community, state, and nation; and (6) put Appalachian culture on an equal footing with other American cultures. The document also explains attitudes to be acquired by the students; skills to be learned; content guide; problems to be solved; resource persons; individual projects, excursions or field trips; audiovisual aids; procedures for bringing in outside resources and taking students through the community; and evaluation procedures. The chronologically designed American history course outline is loosely constructed to allow insertion of materials developed through continuing research on Appalachia. A bibliography includes publications on the history of the area, literature, cultural background, folklore, and journal articles. (KM)
