This volume is designed to supplement materials teachers have chosen to use in teaching Colorado and community history. The materials are not a complete history of Colorado or a complete textbook; instead, teachers are provided with 14 teaching activities for use in elementary and secondary social studies or history classes. The book is divided into three sections. Section one contains a series of introductory activities on personalizing history and familiarizing students with their state and its history. Section two focuses exclusively on community and local history activities. The third section is designed to spur students' interests in the multicultural makeup of their state as well as to illustrate Colorado's interdependence with the rest of the world. Each activity is presented with a short introduction, objectives, grade level, time required, materials needed, procedure to follow, and debriefing or follow-up suggestions. All necessary teacher instructions, handouts, and master sheets are included. An annotated bibliography about Colorado's history, the handouts, and an evaluation questionnaire conclude the book.
